What is the difference between the GTX 770 with 1 DVI link, and the one with 2?

Prseto · Nov 30, 2013

Hi, I have found different variations of the GTX 770, one is 'KFA 2 Geforce GTX 770 EX OC' with 1 DVI port (2GB)

The other is 'MSI Geforce GTA 770' with 2 DVI ports (4GB)

How will this benefit me? The MSI costs about 50-70 more to buy, Will I be fine buying the cheap one if I don't plan on using 3 monitors?

If the clock speeds are the same, and you're only using one <4k monitor, there wouldn't be a difference in gaming performance. I don't know the exact models you're looking at, but a quick google suggests that the KFA2 one may well have better clock speeds. Even if the MSI one is better, a factory overclock is probably not going to be worth 50-70. Go with the cheaper one.

msi should be better. not because of the extra dvi or 4gb instead of 2 but because it's an msi. it's a trusted manufacturer you may have actually heard of before

p.s. never mind, it's the old galaxy manufacturer. not as bad as i thought, yep the price diff isn't justified if you dont plan to do a multi monitor setup

Thanks for help but im a bit unsure with this, can both of these versions handle a 120 hz monitor? I have no idea why im asking this, but I was told a dual DVI link was needed

'« 1x Dual-Link DVI, 1x DVI-D, HDMI und Display Port '

So would this cheaper one support dual link DVI?
