PNY VCGGTX7702XPB-OC GeForce GTX 770 2GB OC 256-bit GDDR5 card any good?

Solution
I don't think the extra $100 is worth 2GB of VRAM unless you plan to continue with heavy gaming. In that case, it is definitely worth paying $100 more to get the one with more VRAM because it will give it a longer effective lifespan. The GIGABYTE card has better clock rates too. It's up to you: get a great price, or get a card that will last you a bit longer. I have been planning on getting this card for a while now, but due to recent computer expenses I have to wait longer. It is worth the $100 if you do play games with high resolution textures and hi-poly meshes or if you play games on multiple monitors.

It's a great card, but it it a bit pricey for only 2GB of VRAM. Get a GIGABYTE GTX 770 4GB VRAM for about $370. I have no quarrels with PNY, but you should try to get more for your money.

I like this one. It's cheap, and its powerful.

Thanks Bullets, I think I'll pass on the 2GB PNY card. I am having a terrible time finding an AMD card. I was told that the 7970 is a great option as well as the R9-280X, but I cant find any... argh!
