Hi guys, currently putting together a new rig and after hours of research have narrowed it down to 3 gtx 770 cards but cannot decide which one to get, here are the three I have found:

1 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

2 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

3 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


Other components in the rig include the Intel Core i5 4670K and the mobo I'm using is the MSI Z87-GD65-GAMING, the power supply I'm using is the Corsair AX Series AX860 860W Platinum.

Is there any stand out card out of the 3 I have selected or are they pretty similar? Or have I missed out a better card for similar money? I would like to play the latest games on very high settings with a screen resolution of 1920×1080, I have no intention of overclocking. I will be purchasing the GPU within the next month.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

They're pretty similar. Can't really go wrong with any of them.

They all seem to be similar, another one to consider:

Of the cards you listed the MSI N770 Lightning http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CZ58WQ2/ref=as_li_q... is the fastest by far and also built on a better PCB. I'd go for it.


The extra $50 is worth it for the performance gain then? Do you know how much the performance game is over the other two cards?

@VPP The extra $50 will give you a little bit higher performance (not much) and obviously better cooling with extra large heatsink and fan. Its good if you are in need of cooling, get that, but if its not an issue, stick with the other $400 ones.
