00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:16,240
review take two shot

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,599
one now if you're a regular viewer you've probably heard me say before why

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,880
are you buying a high-end graphics card if you're still connecting to your monitor via VGA I would actually go

7
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:32,559
further than that now if you're spending a few hundred on a graphics card and

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,800
you're not running at a resolution higher than 1080p you're probably doing

9
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:41,120
something wrong and you're probably misallocating your funds in some way

10
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:45,079
because monitors are so inexpensive now they've got those cheap ones on eBay you

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,199
can get IPS panels for a few hundred bucks for a 1440p display that you

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:55,120
should make that part of your upgrade plan in order to have a better more

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,879
immersive gaming experience the GTX 770

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:03,079
is a direct replacement for the 670 and comes in with a very similar spec to the

15
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:09,560
outgoing GTX 680 it's got that same full-fledged GK 104 core it's clocked

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:15,080
higher than the 680 by default using GPU boost 2 to achieve its its own boosted

17
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,600
overclocked speeds and to make it operate you know at a fixed temperature

18
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:22,960
and all the cool stuff that comes along with GPU boost 2 it has a better cooler

19
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:27,479
that looks outstanding in addition to keeping the card cool enough as well as

20
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:33,079
an updated fan profile that makes it less U Less uh liable to ramp up and

21
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:38,040
ramp down in an annoying fashion so it's got all that going for it but the big

22
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:46,399
improvement over GTX 680 for my standpoint is the 7 GHz gddr5 memory on

23
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,520
it so it's still using a 256bit bus but

24
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:53,600
the memory is clocked substantially higher allowing for it to perform better

25
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:58,079
particularly at higher resolutions as you are about to see now we're using our

26
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:04,399
usual standardized test bench we've got our Nel core i739 60x at 4 GHz 16 gigs

27
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:09,479
of Kingston RAM a p9x 79 Deluxe motherboard a 128 gig SSD for our boot

28
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:15,160
drive as well as the latest drivers from both the green and the red teams without

29
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:20,160
further Ado let's get into the performance

30
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:26,440
numbers Metro last Light is an unbelievably demanding game at

31
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,560
1440p even the GTX Titan and GTX 780 are

32
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:33,120
brought to their knees however their version of brought to knees is very

33
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:40,480
different from the rest of the cards you can see here that memory bandwidth is

34
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,879
king So those cards do well the GTX 770

35
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:46,519
beats the card that it's replacing as well as the card that it is very similar

36
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,680
to in terms of spec except for its increased memory bandwidth quite handly

37
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:56,239
in this test with both of the cards from the red team also doing phenomenally

38
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:00,680
well partly due to the fact that they have great memory bandwidth and 3 gig

39
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,640
memory buffers as a opposed to the 2 gig memory buffers that we see on the NVIDIA

40
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:10,599
cards that we have in this test in Tomb reader we see a hint of the things that

41
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:15,959
we saw in our 1080p performance review of this card where it looks like the GPU

42
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:18,280
boost on this particular card isn't that

43
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:21,959
competitive with the way that our 680 turns up when overclocked remember we

44
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:27,840
overclock all of our cards for our performance testing so what that

45
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:30,640
revealed was that our GTX 770 is not

46
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,959
necessarily faster than R 68 once both cards are overclocked to the max I'm

47
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:39,760
expecting this to change at some point with some tweaks and I mean if that's

48
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:42,239
not the case I'm expecting most 770s to

49
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,239
boost up higher than our particular one because remember this is a higher TDP

50
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:50,239
card which means it can is able to draw more power it has a higher stock clock

51
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:55,680
speed and it has that much faster memory to go with it with all of that said

52
00:03:52,799 --> 00:04:00,239
we've got GTX Titan and gtx780 in completely their own world way at top of

53
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:04,040
the graphs then we've got a cluster of cards that are all pretty much within

54
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:09,560
margin of error of the ones on either side of them followed up by the GTX 660

55
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:15,560
Ti and the gtx670 down at the very bottom in BioShock Infinite we see

56
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:17,440
another example of GTX Titan gtx780

57
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:22,639
completely running away with it stealing the show and everything else looking

58
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:26,680
like a very sort of clustered grouping of cards once again though we see our

59
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:31,680
770 in spite of the fact that we did observe some weird ramping of the core

60
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,759
clock speed ahead of the GTX 680 and it

61
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,320
looks like remember guys at higher resolutions we're more dependent on

62
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:42,840
memory performance it looks like that memory is really helping out the card

63
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:44,639
here in Far Cry 3 same pattern those top

64
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:49,639
two cards are the top two cards and everything else is below them but we do

65
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:55,320
see the 770 pull ahead not only of the 670 in a pretty sort of impressive

66
00:04:52,919 --> 00:05:01,720
fashion but we see it pull ahead of the GTX 680 as well so we can attribute this

67
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:04,320
to the improved memory band with once

68
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:08,199
again moving on to Far Cry 3 blood Dragon remember these are based on the

69
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:15,199
same engine but have very different demands on your system we see again GTX

70
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:17,440
Titan gtx780 and everything else very

71
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:23,919
very close after that with the gtx770 being the only GK 104 based card that

72
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:28,240
really separated itself in this test we did rerun these numbers and it's pretty

73
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:32,039
bizarre and we're not quite sure how we ended up with the same performance

74
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:36,880
with all three of these cards especially at such a GPU bound resolution but there

75
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,000
you have it the 770 was the only one that really separated

76
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:47,880
itself Crisis 3 is another game where we see the GTX 770s very incremental

77
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:53,960
improvements over the last generation GeForce cards and we see GTX Titan and

78
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,880
gtx780 just kind of stomping all over

79
00:05:53,960 --> 00:06:00,560
everything just like they are probably going to continue to do for a while

80
00:05:58,039 --> 00:06:07,479
until AMD manages to Launch launch some kind of Counterattack that can in some

81
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:11,039
way address the GTX 780 and GTX Titan so

82
00:06:07,479 --> 00:06:13,880
what's the conclusion for this GTX 770

83
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:20,240
is very suitable for running at 1440p just like GTX 680 was before it except

84
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,880
more so it looks better it's quieter not

85
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,759
only is it quieter but the way the fan ramps up and down is less annoying you

86
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:29,240
get GeForce experience which allows you to keep your drivers updated as well as

87
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,960
gives you recommendations for your game settings which might not be relevant to

88
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,199
you but might be relevant to someone who you recommend a card to if you know that

89
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:43,080
they can't handle handling all that stuff on their own and it comes in at a

90
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:45,840
lower price than the GTX 680 that it is

91
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:50,880
inheriting most of its technology from but not its looks you get a card that

92
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:54,880
looks very premium sounds very premium performs very premium and is suitable

93
00:06:52,599 --> 00:06:59,319
for gaming at that resolution at a price point that it wasn't available at before

94
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,599
so it's really hard to go wrong bear in mind guys the numbers you were looking

95
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,759
at in this test were based on us running at extremely high settings at that

96
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:10,759
resolution even with cards like the Titan to get really smooth playable

97
00:07:09,479 --> 00:07:14,879
frame rates you'd probably end up turning things down from you know ultra

98
00:07:12,919 --> 00:07:19,720
settings with anti-aliasing all over the place because it is much more demanding

99
00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:25,080
