Hey guys,
So, I was thinking of purchasing two Zotac GTX 770 4GB cards in order to SLI in my system. If you're wondering, I chose these cards because they are one of the few cards which has 4GB VRAM, as well as a waterblock which fits the PCB (from EKWB), and doesn't cost $520 (like the EVGA card). However, my question is this; does it actually fit? According to their website it does, but the one that fits is the GTX 680 waterblock, as opposed to the GTX 770 waterblock for all the other 770s. Do you think it will still fit, or am I mistaken?
Thanks in advance :)

If the EKWB Cooling Configurator so claims then it's probably true. They do have new GTX 770 waterblocks out too but no 4GB models are listed as compatible with them. You'll either have to search the interwebs for someone with the same card & block or e-mail EKWB and ask them directly.

That is if you really think you need 4GB of VRAM...

Thanks for the response man. I was just kind of curious, as the fact that it is compatible with the 680 waterblocks and not the 770 waterblocks means that the VRM, GPU, and RAM are in different places on the Zotac cards than on all the others; otherwise, the 680 blocks would be compatible with all the other cards. I'm not whether this is a mistake, something Zotac did on purpose, or just a little bit of a coincidence.
Either way, thanks for the response; I hadn't thought to email them. I should try that.
Thanks again!
As for needing 4GB VRAM; at the moment, I don't, but I am planning on running either a single XD monitor or 5760x1080, so I'd like to have the 4GB VRAM for VRAM-intensive games like modded Skyrim, etc. Plus, this is going to be most likely my last GPU upgrade for many, many years, so I'd like to make sure that it doesn't fail.

Hello, I wanted to do exactly the same thing and was looking for the answer to that exact question :). Since it's unlikely that somebody has that card and the waterblock I guess the question would be... are EK's compatibility estimations usually or rarely wrong?
