How does this compare with the 2GB EVGA 770? Is it the same performance wise?

No. The gigabyte has a faster clock speed, and the extra 2GB of RAM allow for better performance at higher resolutions. If you don't plan on running multi-monitor or a 27" or greater monitor the 2GB version should be fine.
852877
Performance will probably be very close, unless you start using very high resolution monitors or multi monitor setups that require the extra ram. Really, you are buying the extra ram for future as I haven't found anything that really uses this at standard 1080p resolutions. The draw for this card beyond the memory is the cooling setup. Very nice.

Honestly, I don't know all of the technical details, but for many if not most next-gen games, 2gb of vram might not be enough to run on higher settings so my rationale is that if you're already willing to spend that much on a gpu, then why not just spend another $30 for twice as much vram? I will say that I don't know if any downsides of going for the 4gb version over the 2 gb.

Man, I really don't know. I use only one of this GC and all my games are running at ultra. I think google can help us better than me. See ya!

A lot of newer games are going to require more VRam... Hence the 4GB vs the 2GB. If you want to future proof your computer, Stick with the 4 GB models.

I currently have a GTX 770 4GB in my case and it fits with plenty of space to spare, in fact I have enough space to put in a 2nd one for SLI. Your GTX 770 2 GB should fit without any problems.

Really nothing, only difference between the 2 is the core clock, wich if you overclock at all you could overclock the 1 to match the other. But basically the 770 is a charged up 680. Its same chip GK104, the 770 has a better memory clock than the 680 and the 770 has gpu 2.0 boost wich the 680 doesn't. but all in all there the same. I ve got the FTW myself and its been great, no problems here.

looks like a single 770 needs 450w so it would seem that no is the answer? You would need a 1000w power supply I would suggest to have no potential issues

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.

My driver was a mid-range board at low cost and TWO ports for DVI. I can only compare differing NVIDIA products but "better" is in the eye of the beholder. They both use 2GB worth of GDDR5 memory at 128-bit. The tipping point would be which features on each card are triggered by your favorite game(s).

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

The 670 is slightly more powerful then the 760. But the 670 is $150 more. I'd be nore inclined to compare 670 vs 770 as they r in the same price range and the 770 is more powerful then the 670

I did not see a game voucher in my box, but seeing is how this card is the same price as the 770 2gb card. You get two extra gigs of memory which I think is better than a game. Also the money you save on this card you can buy any game

It is a very good card!!, but if u don't mind spending more I would buy a 780, 780 should be about 20% faster. Regards!!

I honestly don't think you'll notice much difference in performance as their specs are very similar. I chose EVGA because I've had good luck with their build quality over other brands. But if price is a concern, go with the other.

they say 4 gigs. i will tell you this. everything i run on my home built rig {M/B asus rampage 2 extreme, 16 gigs ram, intel quad core i7 3.2 ghz and 500 gig ssd hd} is smoking fast. best vid card i have ever used. make sure you buy from EVGA they have the absolute best customer service. i had a card from them that went bad after 2 years of use sent it back and they replaced it with a better one than the one i had sent them. you can't beat that.

Yeah ran one one them for about 5 months on a 27" asus and had no problems and its a 144 Hz running two 780s SC now So I would say the 770 SC would do just fine too but, I would go for the 780

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.

Yes, but if you look at any PCI'e benchmarks you'll see that the GPU won't use all the bandwidth. I have two GTX 770's in SLI and have no bandwidth bottleneck. Hope this helps.
2220946
Yes that is what im running and it could probably run another 770 as far as right now with everything running 100 percent for fans don't spend and the PSU does not even get hot

I believe the 6870 would be your best bet, I was unable to find the 6850 (best match, according to Tom's Hardware) in a 2GB version.
