GTX 650 vs. HD 7770

650 2gb 129.99 is the way to go.. Otherwise get the 1gb

The HD 7770 is better, but if you really want assassins creed free then get the GTX 650. Also, ignore Ilumunus, DO NOT get the 2GB version, it is a waste. The GK-107 GPU powering the GTX 650 is not powerful enough to utilize the 2GB of VRAM.

I don't know how good the GTX 650 but I have a HD7770 and it plays most of my games on high setting decent at 1080p. Ive been playing the mass effect series and its holding up.

My vote goes towards the HD 7770, proud owner of it and it maxes out every game for me @ 1600x900. If you do buy from newegg I am sure they bundle free games with the HD 7770.

You can get MoH warfighter and Farcry 3 with this 7770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

edit: ^^^^^ better yet! edit 2: i mean whats above!

ASUS HD7770-1GD5 Radeon HD 7770 $124.99
Free Far Cry 3 w/ purchase, limited offer

far cry3 is better!!!!!!!
all the cool people say so.
 

'bout as fast as HD 7750 it will be.

I say HD 7770, its quite a bit faster.

You could also get this one if you have no problem with mail in rebates:

You also get the free video game  

yeah! FC3 FTW!

only derps play AC3!

It's all about Skyrim! Seriously though everyone of you in this thread should go buy skyrim and play it, it really is a good game. Killed my entire summer break (2 months) and I still did not finish it  

No love for my link with 2 free games  

lol win

I believe FC3 stands for Far cry 3. Either way they're both great games I hear, too bad I have yet to play it.

I know, this thread got off topic real fast lol

I love off-topic discussions, too bad its probably against the rules of these forums  

Yeah just grab the 7770 as it performs better and it has free games with it too right now. If you really wanted AC3 then grab the 650. If you want a strong card and AC3 then the 650ti.

Ugh this is a tough desicion because the HD 7770 has better performance from what I've seen. Yes I would be ordering from newegg the 7770 it comes with Far Cry 3 and Nexuiz or something (is it any good?). My friend is getting AC3 with the 650 for free, but idk about the multiplayer.

games come and go, hardware performance will always be.

get the 7770.

Well now would you like a free game with your video card but in other games not be able to get better framerates per second? At the core the HD 7770 is better, a free game should not persuade you easily. At the end of the day the option is yours but technically a free game should not persuade you in to giving in to a weaker card.

quick question: why aren't you considering the GTX 650 Ti?

^GTX 650 TI is out of the price range of the GTX 650 and the HD 7770. In truth the GTX 650 ti is better than the HD 7770 but is more expensive. On newegg canada the HD 7770 is found around $100-$120 while the GTX 650 TI is around $160-$180.

After thinking about this some more the best option is to buy the HD 7770 with the game coupon, sell the game if you don't want it and buy AC3 if you still want that.

oh right, I guess so. But for another, GTX 650 it is in that price range  

I would go 7770.

What pSU do you have?

One more thing to notice about gtx 650 is physx and low power consumption than hd 7770

i would get the 7770 with free far cry 3 rather than 650 with free AC3 because by now its preety clear cut that AC3 is nothing new. its pretty much the same game that previous games in the series were while far cry 3 is much better and much more fun than AC3
