So I wasss about to get this but the GTX 770 is just 20$ more from where I am, why bother with the 670?

get it, it is pretty much the exact same thing with cooler software and from what i saw it comes with 2 games, no major known faults on that card that make it stand out from any other

The 670 is a year older than the 770 and the pricing hasn't been updated. Just buy a 7xx series now if you are going to buy new...or better yet, wait until the 9 series comes out.

I am not sure why you would by this instead GTX 770 for just $20 more. If I had that option, I would have done that too. I had a EVGA GTX 670 in my machine but it burnt up due to my lack of cleaning the dust from the card. Make sure you vacuum and than blow air through your machine at least once a month. I have pets so I have to do it twice a month.

The big question is are you running multiple monitors over 1080p? If you are running a single or dual monitors @ 1080p I would go with the 770.. If you are running 2-3 monitors at a res higher than 1080p than the extra 2GB of VRAM may be useful.

That is definitely useless. Because this card performe very well for a single monitor. I felt no need an updation for several years by playing latest ganes like BF4, Ghosts ect.you will not get an huge difference from performance by 780 sc than 770 sc by looking at there prices

Gtx 970 easily. I own 2 780's, but you should almost always go for the newer tech, especially considering the 970 is slightly faster and it has 1GB extra vram.

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).

Yes it is a good upgrade it is vastly better then the gpu in the consoles, which have a better gpu then a 500 series gtx card. Is it a good upgrade for the high price? Hell no. I bought this for 615 including tax. I have no idea why its 800 or higher now.

There is a decent jump between the two but not life-changing. The 280x plays everything I throw at it at the highest settings on a 1080p monitor and I can get 60fps (or close to it) as well. The only time I can't get 60fps, even on a AAA title like BF4, is on super high resolutions (I frequently game on three monitors with eyefinity). But even then I stay above 30fps on everything. So I would definitely recommend getting this card.

asus uses a heatpipe cooling system as opposed to gigabyte's 3x fan system. The only difference between evga asus gigabyte msi version of the 770 is the cooling system and occasionally very slight clock speed differences. This asus card has the best cooling system from what i read and although i got a dud sadly 99% of people say it's a great card.

Right now I'm running a heavily modded Skyrim (using ENBoost and RealVision) that uses 3.3 GB of VRAM on this card. Having a GPU with a high amount of VRAM is crucial for anyone who like to mod games and really put the graphic fidelity of a game. I also like to edit video and use the VRAM in Adobe Premiere. If neither of those activities interest you, then a 2GB GPU should be perfect for you and you'll appreciate the 770 over the 670.

What resolution are you gaming at? Your 690 is more powerful than a single 780, so unless you're gaming beyond 1080p, your 690 is probably better for you. Also, the GTX900 series just came out. If you want to upgrade, I'd suggest either a pair of GTX970's or a single 980. They all have 4GB of GDDR5 and I believe a 980 should be on par with your 690, but use way less power and be better for higher resolutions.

Hi Tom, I am very satisfied with the performance of this card, it supports all the latest games with the graphics settings maxed out (Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Metro Last Light, Grid 2, Starcraft 2, etc), by the way, the gpu temperature is amazingly cool. I don't know the specs of the 770 but i am sure the 670 can handle all the latest games with no problem. About the memory, yes, is important when you want to use high resolutions with high textures that normally surpasses the 2Gb level.

No it is not worth it, I have a 7950 OC, and I will wait for 2 more generations to come out before even considering it...only difference is the Memory speeds...nothing more...the core GPU is bit faster...not worth the money.

For 1080p gaming, the 770 is good enough. You'll get maybe 10% more performance at that resolution. Go for the 780 if you're playing at 2560x1440 though

Yes I believe that you should be fine. I have a previous version of that set up and it has the gtx 670. I haven't found a game it won't run.

They are both great cards, and the 760 outperforms the 270x slightly. However, the big kicker is driver support which has dogged the R9 and other newer ATI models. I would suggest thinking about the games you plan to play and checking their individual support forums for any issues. Also, be sure to do a physical check in your case and make sure the card will fit. This card is incredible large and you might have interference issues with things like your hard drives.

Hi bro, the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 have a better cooling system and more and 2 gb more of memori.

If you are going to be doing 3D rendering and modeling get the 690, if you will mostly only play games get the 970 or 980 do not get 780's
