Torn between the two

Krizztech · Sep 27, 2014

Hello guys, im here looking for some answers because i am going to buy a new graphics card (gtx 770) but there are two models that i am torn between. It would be great if you could have a look at them in the links below and tell me which is better to buy because i don't know what the difference between them is. In all the review videos and benchmarks people are using model 1 but im not sure whether that is better or not. Please leave a comment below if you can help me out

Model 1. http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-GeForce-Superclocked-Graphics-Cooler/dp/B00DZ63OUY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1411817008&sr=8-4&keywords=gtx+770
Model 2. http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-GeForce-Superclocked-Graphics-Vision-Ready/dp/B00D3LE2MK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408615448&sr=8-2&keywords=gtx+770

Your choice would depend on a few things, first, on what type of case you have. Your first choice sports the 770's reference, blower-type cooler, thus it would better in cases that has limited airflow, such as mini-ATX and ITX cases. If your case is roomier and has more airflow, then go for the EVGA card. Your second choice is overclockability, on its own the reference 770 has a respectable OC headroom. But because the EVGA card has a non-reference, blower-type cooler, better cooling components, and better power delivery parts, then in theory, it would achieve higher clock speeds, and if I'm not mistaken, it ships with a higher boost clock by default.

Feature-wise, aside from the aforementioned, they're pretty the same.

Krizztech :

Model 2 is better coz of the price and it will be factory OCed and a non-reference cooler is better than the reference cooler.

Model 2 is a lot better as it has a factory overclock.

I don't mind if it has a higher factory overclock or not, as that is easily changeable through overclocking yourself. Choose upon price and value. According to the links the better card is cheaper so get option 2, no brainer.
