Can the gtx 770 max bf4?/ evga superclocked 770 vs msi gaming 770

JaytheLaw · Nov 24, 2013

Ok, so i recently made an article on witch r9 280x i should buy if i get the r9 280x. Now im almost sure im getting the 280x main reason i want a new gpu in the first place is bf4 by old 7770 isnt good enough. But lets just say i dont get the 280x, the only other card im looking at is the 770, but idk if i should get that or not. Heres why im thinking 280x>770

-Less exspensive
-more vram

The reason i thought About a gtx 770 instead is because i heard that gtx 770 was really good and that the vram didn't matter a hole lot for bf4. Is this true? and if it is can the 770 max bf4 with 2XAA-4XAA without trouble? And if i were to get the gtx 770 witch would be better the evga superclocked or the msi gaming? Keep in mind that im pretty much only playing multiplayer. Ok i know this has been really long, but now im done lol, so please if you have time tell me what you think down below. Thanks.

well if you go for the 280x since it has more ram you can crank up the AA and the resolution scaling. i run 2 7970's and i run the ultra pre-set and 170% res scaling on BF4 and with the 280x you will get mantle with should improve performance 20-50% on GCN cards. but the 770 will run it on ultra just fine but with the 2gb of vram might hold you back with the AA and res scaling but if you just run the scaling at 100% ultra wont be a problem. If you really want the nVidia card try and find a deal on a 4GB version.

Ok so if i were to pick the 770 in your opinion what is better, the evga superclocked or msi gaming? i know the evga is superclocked but ive never liked the kind fan it has.

JaytheLaw :

I've always used MSI products and they've never let me down. i got a msi MPOWER motherboard and 2 msi 7970's
OC'd pretty good and have run at those clocks for 1.5+yrs so i can vouch pretty good for the msi side but i stay with Radeon since all the crap i dealt with from the GTX400's so i cant vouch for EVGA.

Where did that number come from?

corvetteguy1994 · Nov 24, 2013

Mousemonkey :

its not confirmed but i think its a better estimate then AMD's 2X-9X performance jump. they even said they wouldn't go through all this trouble for just a 10% increase so i think 20-50% is reasonable.

Let's hope that prediction doesn't come back to haunt you.

you and me both

i've got faith in mantle. dont know if it will be a game changer for amd but i've got faith in them.

JaytheLaw · Nov 24, 2013

corvetteguy1994 :

About mantle when will we be seeing it? Also what games up to this point are suported by it?

Mousemonkey · Nov 24, 2013

Sometime in December and so far its only being used in BF4.

corvetteguy1994 · Nov 24, 2013

BF4 gets the mantle patch in mid-late december and as of right now any new EA game with frostbite 3.0 will have mantle. IE new mass effect battlefront 3 and a lot more. EA said 15+ games will use mantle in the near future.

JaytheLaw · Nov 24, 2013

Great, still not fully decided on a card yet but right now its 80% r9 280x and 20% 770. Im also hoping that mantle will help to...This questions answer is probable obvious, but will they up the price after mantle? im 99% they wont but ive been wrong befor when i thought stuff like that.

corvetteguy1994 · Nov 24, 2013

all mantle can do is help. no im 99% sure amd wont raise there prices because they want to hold that slight better price/performance ratio.

BlankInsanity · Nov 24, 2013

Well take this for considertation..

R9 280x has 3GB of Vram GTX 770 has 2GB
R9 280x is 384 while GTX 770 is 256 bit so better transfer rate
R9 280x is $40 cheaper(except for toxic-x) than GTX 770.
R9 280x is AMD which is implementing mantle into BF4 giving AMD card a nice edge.
R9 280x has 2048 steam processors while GTX 770 has 1536 Cuda Cores
R9 280x is more power effecient requiring 30A and 550W while GTX 770 requires 42A and 600W.

What else have I missed?

Get the R9 280x

P.S
missed this one out.
R9 280X has slightly better benchmarks in certain games than the GTX 770.

JaytheLaw · Nov 24, 2013

Ive finally made my mind up, i plan to get a asus r9 280x in a couple weeks, if i cant get that it will be the msi version and if i cant get that then its the gigabyte version. Thanks for all the awnsers

NP make sure you select the best answer

corvetteguy1994 · Nov 24, 2013

try to stay away from the gigabute ones for awhile. there having memory issues and artifacting.

JaytheLaw · Nov 25, 2013

corvetteguy1994 :

Yeah thats probable true, i will be sligthly dissapointed if they did because i like amd better than nvidia and to me it always seems like nvidia is one step ahead of amd

JaytheLaw · Nov 25, 2013

BlankInsanity :

lol sorry i ment to pick your other message as the best answer because imo it was so sorry about the mess up.

corvetteguy1994 · Nov 25, 2013

JaytheLaw :

not always. amd and nvidia always seem to hop scotch when it comes to raw hourse power. lol this thread needs two best answers

JaytheLaw · Nov 25, 2013

corvetteguy1994 :

Yeah sorry i reall wish there was no best answers because i feel guilty giving someone best answer when someone else might have had just as good a answer, not saying that the guy i gave best answer to didnt have the best answer but i think you get what i mean. And yeah i guess i see where your coming from, but latley seems like nvidia is a liltle ahead i mean correct me if im wrong but nvidias 780 ti is just a 780 fully unlocked right?

with some added goodies and crannies as well. I can't remember but I heard they added a few stuff besides fully unlocking it

corvetteguy1994 :

Why would you turn up resolution scale on a single card?
That destroys fps. lal

corvetteguy1994 · Nov 25, 2013

Djentleman :

i dont care when i only have a 60hz monitor and i still stay well ahead of 60fps even at 170% the games looks way better.
