MSI GTX 770 TwinFrozr Gaming 2 GB

I think the guys at TPU are pretty clear on which is the best GTX770 in the market.

If you gave me 500 bucks to buy a graphics card, I would buy the MSI GTX 770 TF Gaming and party away the rest of the money.


And I agree with them :ange: 


EVGA's ACX cooler is only better than nvidia's reference design and that's it. It's far from reaching the performance of MSI's TwinFrorz, Asus's Deirect CU II or Gigabyte's Windforce 3x.

IS a backplate available for the MSI gtx 770 gaming edition?

Oh yeah? Looks like TPU got the MSI to 1200 core 1252 boost. Guru3d got the EVGA core to 1181 and the boost to 1280. And that's what really matters.

"With this overclock we have extra performance at our hands, as the boost clock will now render at roughly 1300 MHz depending on the power and temperature signature."

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/evga_geforce_gtx_7...

Also looks like at stock speeds it idles 5 degrees cooler and at load is !! 10 degrees cooler?? And with faster stock clocks at that. EVGA stock 1111 core vs MSI stock 1059.

Clearly the EVGA is inferior. ;)

You don't even take the ambient condition into comparsion, do you? And please, go check the MSI 770 gaming review on Guru3d, too :ange: 

Remember that each sku OC differents, so which model won in more sites is can be treated as the winner.

The 400$ MSI Gaming is clocked pretty much the same as the 420$ EVGA SC :lol:  As for Lightning series, it's the king of benchmarks, I dare any EVGA card to beat it in extreme overclocking conditions.

So the MSI cards, which can survive tougher conditions, can't last as long as EVGA ones? Where's the logic in that :ange:

Do not want to get in the middle of anything but I have a question about these 3 cards you guys perhaps could help me out a bit. I have read the ASUS has a very good power plant on the DCII, much better than the reference Nvidia.

Do you have any info on the MSI and GB cards concerning the power, or is this not really that much of a big deal with them?

If power plant meant power consumption:

Asus and MSI' are equal with each other, while Gigabyte has it worse.

Thanks for the info links! But I am asking about the power subsystem on the board, the VRMs and such that supplies the GPU and memory. It seems the better the power supplied to these components would allow better OCing and stability. But I am not sure if anything better than the reference is really needed or not, I think the ASUS has 10 phases and stock stuff has 8, but is this really important?

In that case, Asus has the best VRM design. You can find them in the reviews above, too.

Yes it seems to, but is the power system on the 770 and 780 an important enough reason to go for an ASUS over a EVGA? This is sort of what I am wondering, is 8 just fine or having 10 worth the ~$50 more in the long run. It is not a critical question of course, but just wondering what your take was on this.

Nope those extra phases won't mean much until you do some heavy OC, but then nvidia limits the maximum voltage allowed, meaing the maximum allowed clock.
