EVGA GTX 770 or Gainward GTX 770 Phantom?

eadlef · Dec 31, 2013

Which one would be the best (is most reliable/has more quality)?

aevm · Dec 31, 2013

EVGA is widely considered the most reliable brand.

Evga because of the acx coolers. My card doesn't go over 57 degrees celsius in metro last light on full ultra

I added the EVGA to my build, will it work as properly as the Gainward would? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/eadlef/saved/3iO8

well yea its the same card with other coolers on it.

Your name kinda makes me unsure, because I'm assuming you'd choose an EVGA card over anything. The Gainward Phantom card is supposed to have special made quiet cooling with a higher clock speed.

belive me or not but the evga card has the best gpu air coolers on the market now and it can come Superclocked if you don't wanna mess with the overclocking yourself

I can vouch for EVGA (the card and the user)
It has the best cooler, only tied by ASUS.
It comes factory OCed much higher than any other card (within reason), and has some of the best quality and support around.

Honestly I don't see the fan as a big deal since I can just put an aftermarket fan to support the card. It's the card itself I'm worried about. EVGA seems to have better reviews though, and since it's more known than Gainward I guess I'll go with it.

eadlef :

dude its the same cards with different coolers...

Gam3r01 · Dec 31, 2013

If you plan to slap an aftermarket cooler on it, you should buy a reference model (with the blower cooler) as most aftermarket cards use non reference PCBs.
Theres also no point in getting a better card if you replace the cooler.

Try a little experiment: go to www.amazon.com and search for "GTX 770". eVGA's card shows up with 78 reviews, 5 stars. Gainward doesn't appear at all.

I think Gainward is a good brand, but it's not very active in North America.
