EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Classified ACX 4GB vs MSI GeForce GTX 770 Lightning 2GB

Benjinicky · Oct 25, 2013

Hi all,
I am wanting to build a system for gaming and general use with the following specs:

Corsair Obsidian 650D Case

Intel Core i5 4670

Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM003

SanDisk Ultra Plus 256GB SSD

Corsair Vengeance CML16GX3M4A1600C9 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3

ASRock Z87 Extreme6 Motherboard

Pioneer BDR-208DBKS 15X Blu-Ray Disc Writer OEM

Corsair HX-650 V2 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply

Microsoft Windows 8 Pro 64bit OEM

EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Classified ACX 4GB or MSI GeForce GTX 770 Lightning 2GB
I'm split between these two GPUs, so which should I get? Which is better? The EVGA is $599 from PC Case Gear and the MSI $569.
Your feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Benjinicky

Ps. I'm from Sydney, Australia

Well, if your gaming on a 1080p display then go with the 2gb card.

patrick47018 · Oct 25, 2013

Neither are really worth the extra cost, especially the 4GB on account of the bus being too narrow to even utilize all 4GB properly, my vote goes for something like this: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1486&products_id=25188

Or if you are willing to go AMD, then this is definitely the best choice: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1559&products_id=25327

For the price the 290x is the next step up from those cards.

The 290x is a little too expensive I'd like to keep the price below $600

Yes, I will be gaming at 1080p

TBC1 · Oct 25, 2013

Benjinicky :

Ok, then the 2gb is the one you should get.

Benjinicky · Oct 25, 2013

TBC1 :

So the gigabyte gtx 770 2gb is the way to go?

Well your option is again the 280x or 770 (there are no cards under $600 where you live that will perform better than the 770 or 280x). .

So which would you suggest?

TBC1 · Oct 26, 2013

If anything I would suggest getting the 280x. It's the cheapest option and performs just slightly less than a 770 (280x = best price/performance ratio)

Benjinicky · Oct 26, 2013

TBC1 :

Ok then, thanks for saving me some money! I'll get the 280x.
Thanks

I have the Asus GTX 770 and I have to say, very impressed. Local Micro Center had it in open box special for about $300, and it games Batman AO maxed out and in 1080 on a 27 inch display. I don't think you will be disappointed with this card or the radeon.
