Hey guys im having a bit of trouble deciding which of these two cards to get? Compared here - http:// One is 2GB and the other is 4gb but one has a higher clock speed then the other. The card will be used for a triple monitor 27" eyefinity setup and a lot of gaming. I hate to say it but i wanna lean towards to Gigabyte just on looks alone for my windowed case. What do you guys think?

Sorry, I got the price confused with the 770. My bad. :p

And there is no 790, sadly, or I probably would have been coerced into buying it. As it is, I'm waiting for dual maxwell. *lusts.*

The 5770 was incredible for it's price, and since you aren't an nvidia fanboy, why not consider a 7970? They're DIRT cheap now, and still a very capable card.

Ahh... For a triple monitor setup, I would probably go with the 4GB just so you don't have to worry about VRAM. (Also, just to let you know, eyefinity is exclusive to AMD; you'd be using nvidia surround.)

What do you have already? I'm guessing that if it's a crossfire setup, it'll already beat the 760 at a triple monitor setup. Also bear in mind that for not that much more money you can get a 3GB 780, which will be MUCH more powerful.

Right now i have a single ATI Radeon 5770 that runs all three at 1080 and still runs games on ultra. This god damn card is unstoppable but i think its time lol

PS not that much more? lol a 780 is 650 - 800 bucks. Thats not just a extra 50! trust me if budget was permitting i would but then id just get a 790 and so and so forth lol

GTX760's architecture allow maximum amount of usage VRAM sits at 2gb only, making 4gb versions big wastes. Even if you SLI 2*4gb GTX760, it still sits at 2gb. For 3 monitor, get a HD7950 and OC it, since its 3gb of usable VRAM will yield better results for a 3 monitors setup.
