So....BF4 is released and now this is the IT card. A $249 card is now if u can find it 400 bucks. Does ka-hoots come to mind anyone?

Contrary to popular belief, it's not due to BF4. It is due to Bitcoin/Litecoin mining. Nvidia cards aren't very good for mining, but these cards are known to be very good for mining from what I have heard. Now that mining is on the rise, the price also increased.

Yea, I am regretting not buying this at $1505 w/ the bluray deal on wed. the 24th. Thinking wow, maybe amazon will have a better BF price, it actually went up $50. And now, well as you all see, $1,606.92+ and no bluray deal. Lets just say I wont be buying from amazon unless the price drops back down. Or might just go elsewhere....

it's just for one. i think the prices have gone up because this card is no longer manufactured. You might want to try looking at the new amd r7 line of cards to get a better price

Depends what you're playing, I am running one of these and can run bf4 on ultra at about 80 fps on windows 8 with an i5 and 16 gigs of ram but if i were you, i would get one 780 not two 770's

I don't have battlefield 4 but do have games that run very smoothly on this card and some are games that if they run smoothly battlefield 4 will.

Oh man that card is so freaking awesome. BF4 with 200% resolution upscale 1080 ultra setting and you get 70 fps. This card is a damn beast. With 100% upscale is slamming 160 fps and am running 2 screens

With my FX 8350, asus sabertooth v2.0 motherboard. At 1080p BF4 maxed I avg 75fps. The 770 lightning I got is a dream, connected to a 860i power supply it turbo's it self up to 1.35ghz on Fur mark. The highest if seen it is 1.49ghz on BF3 single player on the aircraft carrier scene. Fans are always at 10% (lowest it goes) highest its been is 22% after 4 hours into furmark. With a CPU OC of 4.4GHz without overclocking the GPU, I ran a 24 hour prime 95 and furmark 1080p highest settings. Not one error. Never had an issue with this card. Even survived my water cooling loop leaking over it. Noticed about 2 days later that it was leaking onto the card. Was playing BF3 ultra settings at the time, not a single stutter, even with water cooling leaking onto the card it was avg 96 FPS in BF3

As of May 9th when I placed an order for the gigabyte GTX780 I was sent an email saying I will receive a code for a free download of Watch Dogs in 7 to 10 days. A game I planned on buying anyways so bam! 60 bucks saved! Can't wait to get this card and see what she will do!

Amazingly I still have the box. My box is PNY and smaller, 1 Gb and just checked it and has the low profile adapter (still in plastic !) Actually it has two, so you can use the VGA and HD connections side by side. Kind of dumb to use the VGA connector these days. Just one thing, I get a 7.3 and 7.4 on CPU (6 core AMD) and memory (8 GB 8200) but only 4.8 (lowest I have) so this is no "gaming" card. I have a work PC (6 core AMD and 8 Gb memory) and another $35 GForce card with the same stinky results. I have Win 7 and use this so I can see the 12 Pale Moon pages I have open with the "peep" turned on. I'm a school tech, so lots of checking and sites open at work and home. I'm usually 1.3 Gb of web page memory. My work one is a 500 MB memory GForce... To get high scores.. you need those $300+ cards. I have watched Amazon TV at full screen and it comes up in HD (24" monitor) real nice. Google it and you'll hear the same results, not for big time gaming (high frame rates) and that stuff no matter how much memory.

No, it is not. Just got mine about 2 weeks ago, it's just the card. Great card though.

Probably not enough to warrant the cash it will cost you. A few frames per second here and there at 1080P resolution would not be enough to entice me into this card over the r9 280X. I would hold out until next year and see if there are any monumental leaps in power to maybe a card in this price range that could actually put up decent number in 4K. Just a thought.T

It can run Battlefield 3 on low/med settings. It's quite a good card for the price and what I bought for my first ever build (still got a soft spot for this card). It runs almost at the same spec as some real massive cards and doesn't suck any power or space. Good card!

Luis is right. Highly recommend this card, best bang for your buck. I use it with an fx 6300 nd can play bf4 on ultra at around 60 fps.

I purchase the card because of the price and specs. I know have 2 of them. I did not play any of the games that where offered so I did not look for any codes or try to accept the free game offer.

This is an all round good card for the money. You can play skyrim with minimal lag, but battlefield 4 deserves a better card like a 256 bit. One milisecond of lag makes all the difference in battlefield. This is for the occasional, not so hardcore gamer.

So far, the answer is no. There used to be such a program for some R9s to include Battlefield 4. Guess they ran out of stock.

Next Gen gaming is a bit of a joke considering a PS4 or Xbox 1 only has about 2500 cpu marks at its disposal. Bit of a damp squib to be honest..(an i5 4430 has 6330, an i3 4xxx about 4800)A 6 yr old pc could widdle all over either system as M.Brown points out.Next Gen gaming? Mwa ha ha ha ha. $400 for a plastic box and a quality bin fail 8 core a.m.d. chip knee capped to 1.6 meg. Not exactly what I would call progress,but you pays your money and takes your choice.
