I'm solely using Techpowerup reviews to determine if the 770 is worth the extra $150.

After comparing most of the games, the highest FPS increase I've seen is from Bioshock Infinite, 25FPS (and sometimes only a gain of 2-5FPS). All other games, I've seen no more than a 12FPS increase.

Aside from FPS, is there any other edge that the 770 WF will bring if I spend the extra $150 on it?

Thanks!

You are doing the right thing, which is to check the cumulative score on TPU, but then also go to the individual benchmarks to see what that translates to terms of FPS on individual games. Definitely check out the games that you are likely to play to see. Obviously, 2-5 FPS is meaningless, but in other games the extra horsepower of the GTX 770 could make all the difference.

In terms of GPU architecture, the GTX 770 offers nothing special over the GTX 760 other than higher performance. They are both GK104 chips with a 256-bit memory bus and 2GB of VRAM.

The best philosophy, if the funds are available, is to go for the higher performing card that you can afford. That will help give you peace of mind and avoid "buyers regret" for...

Well I shud first point out in both cases, the MSI is faster

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GeForce_GTX_760_TF_Gaming/30.html

MSI GTX 760 Gaming 1180 MHz 1960 MHz 87.8 FPS
Gigabyte GTX 760 OC 1190 MHz 1850 MHz 86.6 FPS

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_770_TF_Gaming/29.html
MSI GTX 770 Gaming 1200 MHz 1985 MHz 101.7 FPS
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/GeForce_GTX_770_WindForce_OC/30.html
Gigabyte GTX 770 1225 MHz 1960 MHz 96.0 FPS

The law of diminishing returns dictates that as performance increases, performance per dollar shrinks. The 770 is about 21% faster than the 760

Very interesting! I did notice that for Gigabyte vs MSI for the 760, when it's not overclocked, the Gigabyte is getting more FPS in the 3 games I checked (Bioshock, Last light and Hitman)

That will help give you peace of mind and avoid "buyers regret" for getting a lower performing card. Even if it's not apparent right now, there might be a situation in the future when the extra horsepower will come in handy. For me, I can usually justify it by telling myself, it's only a couple more monthly credit card payments, or something like that.

That's 2-5 FPS greater, and is really within the margin of error. Choosing between brands shouldn't be about performance, with GPU overclocking as easy as it is. It should be about thermals and noise, where really, MSI and Gigabyte are really neck and neck for the GTX 760 and MSI has an advantage in temps on the GTX 770. (according to the Tom's Hardware reviews)
