GTX 680 vs GTX 770

Solution


Yeah if you find both at the same price, gtx 770 is a much better deal. We are talking about 5-10 fps difference. But due to higher memory bandwith, the gtx 770 takes a much less of a performance hit when going to a higher resolution or enabling antialiasing.

No, to be frank the gtx 770 is 10-15% faster due to a high memory clock (which significantly uplifts the memory bottleneck that plagued the gtx 680) and a slightly higher core clock.

So its more advisable to get a 770? Is the FPS diff large?

*First, are the GAME DEALS STILL GOOD? (see my link at bottom and note the three games. If so, redeem codes ASAP).

The games are NOT mentioned in the title, just listed below (main title just says $50 of Shield) so I'm skeptical those games are still available.

I agree on the GTX770. Depending on pricing, I recommend:

1) Asus DC2
2) MSI N770 TF
3) Gigabyte 3x
4) EVGA (with ACX cooler)

Currently the MSI N770 TF is the best value at $320 USD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127741

I was recommend the Asus card but it's $40 now and basically the same.
