GTX 770 or 780 for the money?

Oscar Wiley · Jan 26, 2014

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good graphics card for my PC which is already really good. But I'm not sure if I should get a 770 or spend more and get a 780. If you're wondering I'm trying to get maxed out 1080p BF4 and other games like that. So should I get the 780, or is the 770 enough. Thanks in advance

The 770 is plenty for a single 1080p monitor. I would recommend the 780 only if you plan on more than one monitor, or if you plan to upgrade resolution.

the 770 is more then enough for pretty much any game at 1080p on one monitor. frankly the 760 is likely enough for that.

GTX 770 is more than enough but what is your card now ?

at 1080p for the money i would even get a 760....but if you're already comparing 770 and 780 why won't you go for the 780 just in case you have to upgrade resolution.....its a bit more of a *futureproof*

Right now I haven't got a card. Everybody for some reason tells me a 770 can't max BF4 out 60+. But what is this then? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfqr9m1JTpI

OnLY 1080p res aswell

The 770 can at 1080p. It might drop in major battles, but it will work.

For a general idea of the performance you'd be getting with a 770: http://videocardz.com/images/2013/05/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-770-Performance1.png

From what I can tell, the 770 should run around 40 FPS on average, dropping down to 30'ish in intensive areas. I would recommend the 770, but if you have a substantial amount more cash, the 780 will guarantee you butter smooth performance.
It really comes down to how well you can differentiate between 30 and 40 FPS.

I own a GTX 680 lightning which is the same as a GTX 770. I can confirm that I can run BF4 on ultra with an occasional dip into mid-high 30s. I run it on ultra with 2xMSAA. I never go below 45FPS. However if you are going to get a 770, I'd suggest spending the extra money on a 4GB version. Even with 2xMSAA I hit the max 2GB V-RAM. This causes a noticeable stutter while it frees up some of the V-RAM. However, if you can, I'd highly suggest spending the extra money on a GTX 780. When it comes to PC gaming, you will never regret going by the rule "go big or go home".
