Graphics card 770 or 760 2 or 4gb?

Pixleperson · Mar 31, 2014

I'm trying to build a gaming PC and I had originally picked the GTX 760 graphics card but then decided to upgrade to the 770. Once I was at 770 I couldn't decide weather to get the 4GB or 2Gb card. The 4GB card is a bit expensive but if it is really worth it I will get it. I was also wondering if 760 was fine as that is much cheaper.

Should I get the 770 over the 760 and if so should I get the 4gb version?

Pixleperson :

If you're gaming at 1080p the 2gb version is more than enough. As far as which GPU to pick, it really depends, the 760 will perform great at 1080p but there are games where you wont be able to max most settings, where as the 770 will allow you to do that. So it really depends on your preferences and budget.

IMO you get diminishing return after the 760.

You only nead 4 gig if you plan on 4K, or multiple 1080p monitors.
2 gig is fine for a couple of 1080p monitors, at least.

if you can put 770 into your build funds do it. the 770 card right now for the money is one of the best gaming cards out there. the 760 is a good card too it just a cut down 770. the more cuda cores you have on a gaming card the better it is. the 780 and titan cards are mostly made for real high end gamers.

770's are really really good for the money, I have my single 2GB 770 and I almost never hit the VRAM wall, Titanfall is the only game out there right now that can do more than 2GBs easily, but all you have to do is drop the AA down to x4 MSAA or x8 CSAA. Really the only time you'll need more than that 2gb is with a few 1080p monitors or a single 1440p and then you'll want to start looking at the 4gb one.
Here's a benchmark to help you decide between the 760 and the 770, I advise the 770, the 760 is a good card by all means, but for the extra money you jump into the realm of kinda "super cards" that will run anything you'll give them for a while.

Thanks for the replys, I will definetly get the 770 and it sounds like the 4gb version isn't necessary but it's actually not that much more expensive so maybe i'll still get it.

If 4 gig is not that much more, I'd get it.
You would futire proofe your monitor options
