Wich should I get? GTX 770 - 780? Read Please

NestyG · Nov 11, 2013

What should I buy?

- EVGA GeForce GTX770 Classified with EVGA ACX Cooler 4GB GDDR5 (Dual Link).

- EVGA GeForce GTX 770 FTW 4GB Dual with ACX Cooler

- EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked with ACX Cooler 4 GB GDDR5 (Dual Link)

- EVGA GeForce GTX780 SuperClocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler 3GB GDDR5

- Asus GeForce GTX780 DirectCU II OC 3GB GDDR5

I'm looking for something that can have a solid 50-70 fps on Ultra BF4 on 1080p and something that I can keep for a while before a new upgrade! Thanks

780. Doesn't really matter which one. I think they have different clock speeds but you could always OC.

Yeah, but isn't 4gb vram of the gtx 770 a lot better and future proof than the 3gb vram of the gtx 780?

NestyG :

I would definitely go with the GTX 780, and in terms of future proof if you want later on down the line you can throw in a second 780 in SLI , that configuration will max out all games on the market and upcoming. Trust me , I have done that exact config and the graphics and performance are insane.

I would go for the Asus DCUII 780

From a GT220? lol!

Whats the spec of the rest of your machine, because if your CPU and other parts are not up to it, you may seriously bottleneck a 770/780, which would mean you could have spent the cost of something like a 760 and gotten the same performance (because of the CPU bottleneck).

I have a sh**ty i5 @2.67 and 4gb of ram but I'm going to update ALL, ALL of the machine!
I want a i7 4770k and a 12-16 gb of ram. Now I'm looking for a Gpu

Going to be hard with not much money!

NestyG · Nov 11, 2013

I don't have that much money to spend for 2 graphics card or for an other update in less then 1-3 years

I am much in the same predicament. I will have an i5-3570k, but I will OC it. I am particularly looking at the first three cards, as I don't think I can spend +$500 on a single graphics card. From what I have been able to find, it seems that the only real difference between the three is the clock speeds. The clocks are 26 MHz faster on the FTW than on the SC for $40 more. The Classified is 13 MHz faster than the FTW but only $5 more. I probably won't go with the FTW as it is not on sale unlike the other two, hence the only $5 difference. So, it comes down to the SC for $399 or the 39 MHz faster Classified for $445. My question is whether I will be able to make up for the difference by OCing the SC on my own and whether it will even make a noticeable difference in games to justify the extra $45.

Go with the ASUS GTX 780 DCUIIhttp://amzn.to/Hk3oA2. You won't need more than 3GB VRAM for any reason at 1080p and even for future proofing.

The ASUS GTX 780 DCUII also uses a custom PCB and has the best cooling for the 780 which will allow you to reach the highest overclocks should you choose to overclock.
