I've been researching around and I've come across something pretty damned awesome.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Palit-GeForce-Jetstream-Graphics-Express/dp/B00D3ZYDLQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
This is the Palit GTX 770 Jetstream.
Let's do a little comparison to the EVGA GTX 770, shall we?
(The Palit is on the left, EVGA is on the right)
Clock speeds: 1150MHz vs 1046 MHz
Floating-Point Performance: 3.533 TFLOPS vs 3.213 TFLOPS
Pixel Rate: 36.8 GPixel/s vs 33.5 GPixel/s
Texture Rate : 147 GTexels/s vs 134 GTexels/s
GPU Turbo Speed: 1202MHz vs 1085MHz
Now, here's a bunch of reviews on it, which basically sing praises:
http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/55865-palit-geforce-gtx-770-jetstream/
This features a GPU Comparisons chart which features this information about the product:
GPU Clock: 1,150 (1,202)
Stream Processors: 1,150 (1,202)
Shader Clock: 1,150 (1,202)
Memory Clock: 7,010
Memory Bus: 256
Graphics driver: Geforce 320.18
And its price? It's now on offer for just £240, (£100 less than listed in the Hexus Review)
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/palit_geforce_gtx_770_jetstream_review,1.html
Which does more great FPS comparison charts.
Another: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5590/palit-geforce-gtx-770-2gb-jetstream-overclocked-video-card-review/index.html
Which also has a bunch of seperate lovely FPS Comparisons.
Now, the reviews tend to sing praises about this, but there are a few downsides as far as I can tell.
There is no warranty information. Is there a warranty? I have no idea. Want to find out? Sure, call Palit, but it's going to be an overseas call to either Germany or to their Taipei office.
Now, honestly, I don't know if it's worth the risk. Everything performs brilliantly across the board, it's cheap, has brilliant reviews by experts and customers (albiet not many reviews) and it seems to perform excellently across the board for a 770. But, is it worth the warranty risk?
Can someone shed some light on my predicament for me? And if I don't get this GPU, which other one could you suggest? Which, in your opinion, would be the best GTX 770 GPU for me to get?
(I'll have a i5-4670k, asus z87-a mobo and 8gb g.skill ripjaw ram).
Although this card looks absolutely excellent, I'm still itching to get an alternative, if just for the better Customer Service.
Can someone shed some light on the warranty for this product and the standard of Palit's customer service too, please?
Thanks in advance.
Otakat.
