FX 8320 with GTX 770 2gb for 1440p gaming

techquestion · Feb 6, 2014

I'm just wondering if this pair up can handle 1440p in games like crysis 3, metro last light, BF4, tomb raider, civilization V, ... .

Also is 600w enough for a psu if I OC the cpu to 4.4/4.5?

Most likely not, you will want more than 2GB VRAM for greater than 1080P gaming, and the 770 only gets like 37 FPS average on Crysis 3 Max + 4x MSAA on 1080P with an i7 4770K, you would want an R9 280X or higher AMD card, or GTX 780 or 780 Ti (or 690).

I would advise 650W or 700W. The difference in price in immaterial.

well the build is around 1000 bucks so a 780 is a bit too ambitious. how about a 4 gig version of the 770?

that's a managable upgrade. I'll look for one.

Eh, its better than a 770 2GB, but not by very much due to the 256-bit memory bus. If a higher level card is out of budget, I would either get a 4GB 770, or the R9 280X, I believe they are of similar pricing. The 280X is a touch slower than the 770 but can really use the 3GB of memory it has a lot more effectively than the 770 can with the 4GB because the 280X has a 384 bit memory bus, and the 770 has that 256 bit bus.

I see. But what about the cpu? Is it appropriate for either the 770 or the 280x?

It's fine, it will provide only a small real-world bottleneck, heck my FX-6350 works fine with my GTX 770, albeit at a resolution of 1920x1080P, but res doesn't make a huge difference on the CPU side of things. Just OC it to maybe 4.4GHz or higher and you will have such a small hindrance you won't notice. Even if you don't OC you will still get good performance.

This is something I dont quite understand.
Why would he bump it up, it will in no freaking way increase any sort of performance.
He would have a hard time SLI/crossfire with that too.

I would recommend getting a 550-600w with full modular. Now that would be nice and handy.
