Hello.
Currently I'm looking to buy GeForce GTX 770, but I don't know which one of these. Since games are almost starting to use more than 2GB vram, I'm interested to get one with 4GB vram, which is ZOTAC(just $20 more). But, it's not that popular brand like EVGA, so I'm not sure about reliability. My budget for card is ~$350, so other brands with 4GB are too expensive.
Thanks for help.

True, but you can overclock the Zotac card to match the EVGA card, factory overclocks are overrated if you know how to overclock yourself. Just make sure you have proper airflow/cooling for the higher temps a overclocked card would be operating at. I'd say give the Zotac a try, if it doesn't go well, tuen exchange it for the EVGA card :)

As long as the reviews for the Zotac card are good overall, give that 4GB card a shot. You will benefit from having the 4GB card for Watchdogs and Skyrim ultra modded with HD textures and heavy ENB settings.

What about that higher EVGA clock speed ? If I'm right, ZOTAC's 4GB ram would give advantage on heavy games, but that EVGA superclock would give FPS adventage on lighter games ?
