GTX 670 4GB or GTX 770 2G? I am looking to custom build a gaming PC with the best graphic card I can afford. I can get either of these cards at the same price; which one would you recommend? I did some reading and the memory size seem very important......

I have the 4gb card. Memory is everything in gaming. Haven't found anything yet this card couldn't handle on high settings. Haven't seen the other card. The 4gb card runs cool. Future proof is good sense. My choice would be the more memory!

this is a very powerful card, but if you intend to use it with a multi-monitor setup, definitely get the 4gb version. More monitors means more memory. If you sli two-2gb cards, you don't get 4gb of memory. Also, (i have the 4gb version) the 4gb will run BF4 (with a little bit of overclocking, as in +25mhz on both core and memory, 105% power) on tweaked ultra or flawless high settings at a solid 50-60 fps on three 1366x768 monitors.

Yes definitely it is. Gtx 770 is equal even better than a r9 280x. Gtx 770 production might have been stopped because nvidia is trying to promote its new architecture running on gtx 960 ,gtx 970 or gtx 980. I would suggest if you have enough money go for 970 but if you have less bucks to shed then check out the best deal on gtx 770. Gtx 770 is a beast of a card.Gtx 770 comes in two variants, 2GB and 3GB. For multiple monitor configuration go for a 3gb variant because with 2gb of vram you might experience frame drops in multiple monitor configuration.

Well I personally got the 4GB card just because I am running multiple monitors. If you are only using one monitor I would recommend 2G. There is not much of a difference between them and you will not notice a difference if you have a single 1080p monitor

For a single monitor I would go with the 780, if you start using multiple monitors, then I would consider two smaller GPU's. The 780 is a fabulous card, but I have two 770's right now because I use four monitors for work.

Well if you have the money, save for a 970, more performance and better power consumption. If you are still getting the 770. You should check your PSU if you have 2x6 & 2x8.My msi 770 came with 2x8 standalone connectors that u can use on your PSU but i didnt need it. MY PSU(Corsair CX600) has 2 2x8 connectors. Get a 600w Good PSU(Like corsair or seasonic or something)

I have built 3 machines now in an architectural / engineering firm all with this card primarily for Autodesk Revit rendering. It's a fantastic card. As for gaming....I can't speak to that too much, but I know it improved the rendering speeds by a substantial amount, so I bet it would be good for gaming as well. Although, with my next build, I'm planning to use the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 - it's a 4gb card, so you'll need a little more RAM in the system to account for it. If you build a system with a Raid array (especially with SSD disks), you will see dramatic results over a standard hard drive. According to Skyrim specs, this card or the GTX 770 would be great for play: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:System_Requirements

The video card is pretty fast in and of itself. There are many versions of this card from EVGA. Unless you are hooking up multiple monitors, you may simply want to go with the one with the best price.

Grrr... I bought the MSI Wind U120-020 US with the extra 1 G RAM - because the site said "upgradeable to 2 G". I just finished opening it up and in the process voiding my warrantee only to find NO RAM SLOT. So I came back here to look for more technical info and here is this thread. There is definitely NO RAM SLOT AVAILABLE so keep that in mind when buying.

the nvidia gtx 650 with 1gb of ddr5 is a very nice card and it's only like 120 bucks. I would recommend that one over any other for your price range!

Personally. I would say stay with you EVGA gf GTX660 s2 than upgrading to the 760. However, Overall yes its better but the bump you get from it is like going from a 3ghz processor to a 3.5ghz processor. On paper ya its faster. Its better. But will you notice it right now in games. Probably not. I would wait for the next generation cards. IE the Geforce 860(dunno if thats gonna be the name but you follow what im saying) or even the 960. I went from the EVGA GTX 460 to this. So, dunno if this helps but thats my 2 cents worth.

I would go with Nvidia 780 or 780TI. Personally i have 2 780's they run BF4 max settings flawlessly.

I just downloaded the demo and cranked up all of the settings (@2560x1600) with my GTX 780... I was getting about 200 FPS in the flight sim part.In other words, this card is about 3x more powerful than you really need--anything over 60 frames per second is wasted on most monitors. You could spend only $150-200 and get something that's more than enough for flight sims. The GTX 760 is reasonably priced, as are the older versions of the Radeon cards (ex. 7950 Boost).

I use the Asus R290X DirectCU II card. Yes it was $600 but with Mantel enabled it runs BF4 on Ultra at 1440p with no problems at all online with 64 player servers. Not to mention the same brand card that Asus makes for the GTX 780Ti is about $100 or so more. I'm very happy with the graphics card though, it runs very cool with the Asus DirectCU and has no throttling at all. Its quiet as heck in the Uber mode compared to the stock 290/290X cooled cards. Those cards even throttle in Uber mode and are so loud.

I don't play games but I would go for the GTX cards if I did since those have a lot of game player reviews. I'm actually thinking of switching over to the GTX 950 since this card does seems to be compatible with some of the plugins I use for After Effects.

Yes. You can always google something like "gtx 630 vs 670" to get specs & stats differences, but the short version is that this is a significant upgrade over the 630. I've been very happy with it for over a year now; plays everything at 1080p maxed out with good frame rates that I've ever tried. Would recommend.

Hey friend. I have been running this card on ultra with a variety of games ranging from Arma 3, BF3, to the very inensive Star Citizen and I really enjoy the card. I have little to no problems with frame rate or stuttering and would recommend it. However, the 970 gtx is two generations newer and takes a slight edge in performance. The 970 is a better card, but I believe the 780 should suit you just fine for your needs now. Looking forward, the 970 will be better long term and if you can afford it now, I'd recommend it for the sake of a longer useful life.
