GTX770 2GB or 4GB & memory bandwidth

Recommended Posts

Anybody care to recommend OC GTX770s (2 or 4GB)? Top of my list are currently the EVGA cards. Because I'm not interested in OC the card myself, I'm interested in:

Factory OC

Value for money

Warranty

EVGA is a reputable brand, so is ASUS..

 

I think you would be happy with either one.

Sorry I got the coolers mixed up! The GTX770 has the ACX cooler. I'm very tempted to go for that GTX780, I just don't want to find GPU throttling at factory OC due to temps on that GTX780 with the Titan cooler.

Go for the GTX780. I have exactly that EVGA 780 card and no problems with temps. The TITAN cooler is a very nice cooler. Cant believe how 'cheap' they are now compared to just over a year ago...

Paraphrasing Bogart in Casablanca: "If you don't get the 4GB card, you'll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life".

 

In all seriousness, I'd definitely suggest spending a little more for the 4GB GTX-770 - especially if you plan to use P3D. When it comes to VRAM, "It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it".

In my opinion it is a question of FSX or P3D..

 

FSX:  2 GB is fine

 

P3D:  4 GB might be nice to have..

 

X-plane: even more so..

No way go for the 780 3gb its anyway faster compared to a 770 4gb its not only the memsize,  even in P3D V2.

@westman: I wish you would brush up your english a bit, I respect your knowledge but not the way you try to inform us, it´s really, really poor english. You are Swedish (my guess)  - so you could do much better, try it, ok?

 

What about this:

 

"No way go for the 780 3gb its anyway faster compared to a 770 4gb its not only the memsize,  even in P3D V2."

 

Maybe my problem, I´m Danish, so please excuse, but I don´t get it....

Just missing some punctuation..

 

"No way!  Go for the 780 3gb.

  It's anyway faster compared to a 770 4gb.

  It's not only the memsize - even in P3D V2."

My advice - write much shorter sentences and you will be understood a lot better (English is my 2-nd language too).
