Like Nicolay said why does it has the be the ASUS variant? ASUS sacrifices cooling over quietness and cause sometimes create larger 'load' temperatures than other models, not to mention a dual GPU card. Which brings me to the next question, why insist on having the 4GB version?
I'd suggest EVGA, MSI or Gigabyte but this is my personal preference others will argue otherwise
I would have to say that Asus does a good job when it commes to sound levels, as all the Asus cooled cards i'v had has been close to being inaudiable compared to alot of other cards i'v tested.
And i do also love Asus as a brand, even tho the area where Asus is a "must" is when it commes to motherboards.
Not that it matters all that much, seing as Newegg is pretty much out of stock on all the 770 4gb cards.
I have the Gainward Geforce gtx 770 Phantom 4gb in one of my rigs, and it performs really well (even tho it sounds like a industry-vacuum cleaner under load)
.
If gaming on a single 1080p monitor, then you can make do with the 2gb version. If its 1440p (or higher), or PhysX Surround gaming, then you'd wanna go for the 4gb version.
I myself went for the 4gb because i from time to time do some Surround gaming.
