Ok, so I`m browsing around the local shops for a gtx770. The prices vary from +-R5200 to R8200.(Huge range :/...) [$1 = +-R10]

The ones available in my country are:
(least expensive to most expensive)
- Inno3D gtx 770 HerculeZ2000 (5200)
- MSI GTX 770 GamerEdition (5600)
- MSI Lightning and EVGA Superclocked and Gygabite GTX 770 WF3 (@R6200)
- ASUS gtx 770 DCU2 (R8200)(Lol, must have a diamond plated something on it...)

So I`m considering buying the Inno3D one, I cant find any reviews about it, only about the iChill version. The reason that I want the cheapest one is because I have to buy a new PSU as well, and I have a limited budget. The Inno and MSI cards coolers are my favorite. I am yet to stumble upon a review that has an Inno3D card with a HerculeZ2000 cooler on.

Searching around, the only "bad experiences" I can find are from the 8000 and 200 Nvidia days. It seems they might have pulled themselves together lately, but I still want some backup from the community. :)

Alright then, that's a good tradeoff for a better PSU. I'm positive that once you install whichever card you get and close the PC case you won't know any difference. I don't distrust Inno3d, I was just looking to address your misgivings about them.

Yeah, the MSI Gaming edition looks reaaaaly nice, my problem is that every $ I save on the GPU goes into my new PSU, and the dif in price from the Inno to the MSI is the dif in price from a bronze rated non-mudular 850w to a gold rated semi-modular/full-modular PSU.

Also, the HerculeZ2000 cooler seems to be very quiet and efficient, plus the Inno3D GTX770 has a custom PCB. My point is, I`m thinking I won`t see a dif if I go with the MSI or Inno3D brand. I`m just hesitant because I usually go for "trusted" brands. [Gygabite, MSI, XFX, ASUS, all brands I have had and loved]

It does seem like Inno3D have jumped on the band wagon when it comes to proper high class cards. Because they seem to be doing a great job with the iChill HerculeZ3000 range (Not available here).

Sigh, I guess ill have to wait till next week, which is when ill hear from a local shop if their newly stocked MSI770`s price will stay the same or possibly drop to the same as the Inno3D 770. In the case of a drop, ill buy the MSI version....

I ordered the Inno3D gtx 770 (HerculeZ2000 cooler edition) and got a very nice PSU on special(-20% price) :). The PSU is the Seasonic X850 Gold, fully modular. :D. Ill post a pic later this week after I`ve installed and cleaned everything up. I`m very excited though, and I agree, that HerculeZ2000 cooler looks really nice :D.

Nice going. I have a Corsair HX850 PSU and even so, I'm totally jealous of that Seasonic unit.

Actually, I'm really, really jealous of your Inno3D GTX 770 Herculez..... my GTX 580 crapped out and I'm running a GT 610 now until I get a replacement! The GT 610 is seriously about the size of a credit card.

Good gaming. Be sure to check in with some results.

Quite timely for me, @wakoavo, as I'm looking at other cheaper 770s. Just want to get feedback on how your Inno3d 770 Hercules 2000 is doing?

Hi sherpa :)

Sorry I had quite a busy month >.<

My card has been preforming great ! Still max out all games ;) never had any problems except for driver problems when the 770 was still very new. I use my pc every day and I barely know about the card because it is so quiet. My hdds spinning is louder, even when I game - lately Assassins Creed Black Flag :p and Resident evil 6. I would def recommend getting it :D.

If anyone want, I can run some performance/heat test and post them up here in about a week :).
