Reddit reviews EVGA GeForce GTX770 SuperClocked with EVGA ACX Cooler, 2GB GDDR5 256bit, DL DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, DP, SLI Ready Graphics Cards (02G-P4-2774-KR)

It's not $350 (at least not in the U.S.)...

edit: But I still see your point.

For 500 dollars, you could easily get 300% better performance.

But its also a year an a half old. You can literally get a brand new one with a warranty for that $400

Our mutual friend asked me to help you out. Sorry its kinda long but hope it helps.

General Thoughts about building your own computer:
IMO buying computer hardware is all about future proofing. If your not a hardcore enthusiast you want to buy what you are not going to need to upgrade for a long long time. For example my friend JUST upgraded his gtx8800+ to the new 780. His 8800 lasted him like 10 years. However, doing this usually means purchasing the top of the line hardware at the time which ofc is not always possible to do this with your budget. IMO If you are going to spend the money, spend a little more so that you are super happy and wont have any regrets. This is why if your budget doesnt fit a lot of people upgrade piece by piece. usually the video card is the last bit to be upgraded because they are the largest cost white being the quickest to go out of date. For example the same friend who recently upgraded to a 780 upgraded his case, cpu, motherboard, and ram 2 years ago to a decent i52500k & held off upgrading the video card till now. Also it is worth mentioning that the reason he opted for the 780 over anything else is because not only is it (arguably) the best video card it has improvements over the last generation chips. for example the 770 is just a beefier 680. The 780 runs the gk110 chip and also has larger bandwith etcetc (these things have been discussed to death on countless forums and i am just stating my opinion on it). I think that the 780 provides better future proofing and value retention.

Build Recommendations:
Now that my own general mindset has been given here are some recommendations to your build.

1. Instead of the 670 get a 770 for only a little more $ (link below)
   
   
2. You will need a larger watt power supply! i also recommend future proofing yourself with this. I personally purchased a 1200 watt corsair 4 years ago and it has lasted me through 2 builds and will last me quite a few more. Computer Cases follow this principle as well - they will last you numerous builds so get one that can scale with you. But i would recommend at least a 700w power supply. I believe the 670 requires around a 600w anyways. and you always want to have more than less.
   
   
3. Please also do not get home premium get at least Pro. Also you can probably download a cracked version of ultimate for free and can save some money this way. (cough ask someone for a copy cough).
   
   
4. A common thing first time builders forget is also a cpu heatsink. Do not use the stock one that comes with your cpu. i would recommend the Corsair h60 an all in one easy watercooling solution which i myself use. Easily allows you to overclock without all the hard work and money for conventional watercooling - and not a whole lot more expensive than the better aircooling solutions that i would recommend you get (2nd link below. its newer version than the one i have)
   
   
5. Last and least important. I would recommend getting a larger SSD. It is a pain in the ass not having enough storage for typical daily use, but maybe thats just me because i set all my default download locations to the desktop and i often find myself running out of space on my 256gb ssd. You can double the capacity of the crucial m4 for only another $20. Remember that windows will be about 30gb. and your ssd will only really be 59 gb.
   
   Company Opinions
   I hate Newegg and have had nothing but crappy experiences with them. I only purchase from them if absolutely necessary and cross my fingers. I almost buy exclusively from Amazon now as i have amazon prime and amazons customer service is unparalleled. I also usually get bad cases of buyer remorse and amazons no quibbles 30 day return with no restocking fee is awesome. + free shipping with prime.
   
   As for choice of mouse and keyboard im a razer fan =P.
   
   Final Remark:
   This is probably going to have you go over budget. I would recommend doing a piece by piece upgrade as you get the funds instead of compromising. At the end of the day do what you personally will be happy with and that wont give you regrets. A good friend of mine thinks way different from me about choosing of hardware and that is why i want to give you background on my thinking. If you have any questions feel free =].

You could probably jump on a 7970 for less- AMD's made huge markdowns on their high-end radeon cards recently.

If you need to go for nVidia, you could either jump up to the 770 for some more $$$ or get a 760 (which provides roughly the same performance for less dollar).

All for ~$20-25 extra, and a substantial increase in performance.

Though if it's CUDA cores you're after, the 760 has fewer cores than the 670.

You also might as well drop down to the i5 4670k if you're only gaming- the hyperthreading of the 4770k is only really going to make a difference in things like rendering.

Just going to ask here to to avoid another wasteful thread being made.

Would this card be good for the game with little-no lag?

And I can still not see the high or ultra settings for textures. Then again here are my other horrible specs ::

CPU : Intel core 2 duo 3.2 ghz
RAM : 4 GB, but for some reason says only 2 is usable...?

According to this thread, the GTX 770 wouldn't be able to use 4GB because it's 256 bit.

You'd be better off getting a 2GB version if you want a 770 for less money.

I currently use the an EVGA GTX 770 2GB with an ACX cooler and I'm enjoying it greatly.

GTX 770 is a great GPU that can max out games at 1080p and get 60FPS+. However, this GPU is aimed for gamers that want to play at a higher resolution than 1080p. But If that is the highest resolution you'll be playing, save some money and get a GTX 760. It sill retains a high fps and plays very smoothly at 1080p. EVGA GTX 770 is only $347.99 but is on sale as it was originally $419.99. You would save $73 or 17% off the original price.

I would go EVGA

Amazon Price

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA

That 240 dollar card will play BF4 at 100 fps at 1080p, ultra settings, aa off.

I bought a EVGA GTX770 2GD5 02G-P4-2770-KR two years ago. Barely used but I can't find this product number online.

Is it comparable to this model's price? $250?
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA

The 770 has pretty good performance for its price. I've been able to play Skyrim pretty well heavily modded on it.

The GB of VRAM gives no indication of performance. There's 4GB cards out there on gtx 630s (http://www.amazon.com/Inno3D-Geforce-graphics-express-windows/dp/B006OS8UM2) That are completely trashed by 2gb cards out there (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1376879493&sr=1-1&keywords=gtx+770+2gb)

If you're still looking, I have a EVGA GTX770 SC 2GB. This one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CZIQXBA/

I had this good boi (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA) and now i have this bad boi (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/rtx-2080-ti/)

I have a EVGA SC GTX 770, runs at bit hot at full load, 86c at 65% fan speed (still quite quiet, there is no case fans in my case right now either) and like to be at between 50-65% fan speed rather than 41-65% to be as quiet as possible but runs great, i was looking for £70 with 1st class postage included in the price.

this one, not the blower one https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA

so, the guy with the newborn? Or I was looking at this one

Well you're kind of as cheap as it gets in terms of what you've picked, unless he's willing to lower the specifications, I doubt you're going to get cheaper than that.

He's wanting an intel, but is he set on getting a 970? That would really be the only area to save some money, but the only way would be dropping down in cards to a Radeon 290 or an Nvidia 770.

Wouldn't recommend less than 8GB for gaming.

You also asked about making it better, the i3 may be a bit underpowered to get the full benefit out of the card, if there was money to move up to an i5 (for about $100 more) he would get more out of the 970.

I've looked at this GTX 770: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1414080616&sr=1-1&keywords=GTX+770

Why would you recommend this over the GTX 760? It has only 2GB of VRAM and the GTX 760 I listed has 4GB of VRAM. I'll only be gaming on a single 1680x1050 monitor with the intention of adding a 1080p monitor down the road. Wouldn't the higher VRAM benefit me more for games like heavily modded skyrim and shadow of mordor?

i have a 560ti, just like op. I've been looking to upgrade, but I'm unsure how big the boost would be from a 770 or (maybe) a 780. What do you think?

I was considering a 280x, but there's a 770GTX Superclocked on a nice sale. $319.99 and another $20 off with rebate. It'll be comparable or better on most games and draw less power.

GTX 770 can be had here for $319

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1408744091&sr=1-1&keywords=gtx+770

If you absolutely have to stay under 300, check out the GTX 760

Yes it will fit! But why not go for the 2gb version and save some cash like this? Or you could spend an extra 30 bucks and get a gtx 770 for higher performance boost!

Edit: Unless you have a 1440p monitor or higher, or you're gaming on multiple monitors, get the 4 gb version, otherwise just save the cash and get the 2 gb version. Hope I helped! Also this thread talks about the gtx 760 4gb version!

Q: I want to upgrade my GTX 770 (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA) for this GTX 970 (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Quieter-Graphics-04G-P4-2974-KR/dp/B00NVODXR4)

My PC's specs:

Intel Core i7 4770
Cooler Master G650M
16GB Ram Kingston DDR3 Fury Black
Asus MB Z-97K

Will the GTX 970 works with my current setup?

I have mine built, but I have a 650, and that's not going to handle next gen when it can barely even handle games like Infinite on medium settings. So I'm going to go with this: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1371347592&sr=8-2&keywords=gtx+770+4gb

Or this: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-WINDFORCE-Graphics-GV-N770OC-2GD/dp/B00CU9GOAE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1371347592&sr=8-4&keywords=gtx+770+4gb

Ok, thanks for that i have another question
Which 770 would be better
Gigabyte
Or
EVGA
But i totally agree with your decision of waiting on the SSD

Prices of a brand new
GTX 760, specifically this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DHW4HXY/?tag=pcpapi-20
and a GTX 770, specifically this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CZIQXBA/?tag=pcpapi-20
Thanks so much!

If you want a GTX 770, I would advise you to buy one from a manufacturer who includes a great air-cooler of their own design. I suspect you aren't going to need to water-cool yours, since you haven't planned how you'll do it. My personal recommendation is the EVGA SuperClocked which provides an incredible factory overclock (so you don't have to) along with an amazing air-cooler. Their warranty is the best in the business, too.

Thanks sounds like I should just go with EVGA. I have heard good things about them from friends as well. That being said...what is the difference between these two 770's and is it worth paying for the more expensive one?

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1395867128&sr=1-1&keywords=gtx+770

I got myself a good EVGA 770 Superclocked. She runs like a charm and will get me through the time until 2015 and the 900 series with the new architecture on it.
That would be my advise for you. Should be around £300 by now:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA

Which of these graphics cards is more powerful/better:

Gigabyte R9 280x with 3GB Ram, 1000 Mhz clock (1100 boost)

EVGA GTX770 with 2GB Ram, 1111 Mhz clock (1163 boost)

Brace yourself, OP: I got my 7970 3GB for around $400. The prices of AMD cards have skyrocketed since the altcoin mining craze kicked in.

You may get more bang for your buck out of a card from NVidia. Consider the GeForce GTX 770. It is a bit better than the 7970 and less expensive.

I would like to note that this is coming from the owner of a 7970. It's a good card for sure, but my plans for Xfire went straight out the window when the price went way up.

/edit: Would any downvoters care to refute my statements?

Nope $550 new but nice try http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA
