00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,960
tips guy this video is all about the graphics

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:30,320
card that looks exactly like the other graphics cards this is the GeForce GTX

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:34,320
770 from NVIDIA and as you may or may not have noticed based on looking at it

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:40,440
or based on what I just said it looks pretty much identical to the GTX Titan

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,960
and the GTX 780 however that is pretty

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:49,160
much where the similarities end in terms of performance because this graphics

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:53,239
card is based on the GK 104 GPU the same

13
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:56,079
GPU that the GTX 670 and 680 were based

14
00:00:53,239 --> 00:01:01,840
on now hold on before you go Linus hold on stop that means that it's a rebadge

15
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:06,520
it is sort of a rebadge but it is an enhanced rebadge it is an updated

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:13,240
graphics card so what they've done is they've taken a full fledged gk104 GPU

17
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:18,520
just like you find on the GTX 680 paired

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:21,759
that with 7 gigabit per second so 7 GHz

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,960
gddr5 memory so faster memory and then

20
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:30,360
they've added some new technology GPU Boost 2.0 the updated cooler as you've

21
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,600
already seen as well as their new fan

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:37,880
profile that makes the card quieter while running cool due to GPU boost 2

23
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,240
now that's all fine and good but you kind of go well lonus it looks really

24
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:47,600
expensive how much does it cost uh actually less than a GTX 680 used to

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:53,560
this is coming in to fill the Gap that GTX 670 is leaving behind because that

26
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:59,320
card will be going away to be replaced by the GTX

27
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:03,039
770 without further Ado let's get into the performance we're using our standard

28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,680
test bench you can check out the specs on the slide that's in front of me right

29
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:11,680
now we're using the latest beta drivers from both the red team and the green

30
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,040
team as well as EVGA Precision for all

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,640
of our GeForce overclocking and MSI After Burner for all of our radon

32
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:21,680
overclocking the reason for that is we found that Precision when we started our

33
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:26,959
testing at least had better support for GPU core offsets now speaking of GPU

34
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:30,519
core offsets this graphics card uses GPU boost 2 which means that overclocking is

35
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:36,920
a little bit different if you check out my GTX Titan overclocking guide you will

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,440
know how to overclock the GTX 770 we run

37
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:45,920
all of our cards overclocked and I think what you're going to see is we had a bit

38
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:49,080
of an anomaly that I believe will be

39
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,519
smoothed out very very quickly but what

40
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,599
you're going to see in our performance testing is that the 770 really didn't

41
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,239
separate itself from the GTX 680 in fact

42
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:03,760
it fell behind in some of our tests which was confusing until we looked into

43
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:08,760
how our GPU boost 2 was behaving and it looks like on this particular card it

44
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:14,440
wasn't boosting up very high remember guys GPU boost is a variable thing one

45
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:21,000
card May boost up more than another and the spec is based on typical GPU boost

46
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,440
so it looks like once overclocked R 680

47
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:29,080
had a very favorable core clock whereas our 770 was not boosting up as much or

48
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,000
as consistently in spite of the fact that they were being run in a room with

49
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:37,400
the same temperatures so your mileage may vary here but without further Ado

50
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:43,040
let's get into the games Metro last Light is our first game

51
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:47,000
up and you can tell where the performance comes from in this game it

52
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:52,280
comes from memory bandwidth the top two cards are GTX Titan and GTX 780 and they

53
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:57,560
are so far ahead of everything else about 30% faster than anything else that

54
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:03,319
is even trying to run this game next you've got the GTX 770 remember that 7

55
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,239
GHz gddr5 that's making a difference in

56
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:12,959
spite of its 256bit memory bus it still pulls ahead by an ever so small Edge

57
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,959
against the 7970 and 7950 from AMD and

58
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:17,680
then if you look at the 680 670 and 660

59
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:22,400
Ti they really fall behind because they're not using the same Advanced

60
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:29,280
memory that you find on the 770 in Tomb Raider we once again see GTX

61
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:31,400
Titan and gtx780 just run away with it

62
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:35,600
then we we see a clustering of cards that's all pretty much within margin of

63
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:41,919
error our 680s in there our 770s in there our 797s in there our 7950 is in

64
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:44,000
there and only the 670 and the 660 Ti

65
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:49,039
really fall behind in this particular Benchmark in Crisis 3 we're going to see

66
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:54,600
that same pattern again with the Titan the 780 and then everything else except

67
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:59,479
the 660 Ti where we really see it fall behind compared to the other cards this

68
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:05,639
is uh becoming a bit of a pattern here and and uh it's probably going to

69
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:08,759
continue in BioShock Infinite same story

70
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:11,199
guys so we see the GTX Titan and GTX 780

71
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:15,320
really run away with this one with a very tight clustering of pretty much

72
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:23,120
everything else behind them with the 660ti bringing up the rear again due to

73
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:27,240
its more cut down design compared to the

74
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:29,199
670s and 680 and 770 which are all very

75
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:34,000
similar specs at this point in time with the 7 7 having the best spec but once

76
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:39,560
again having that anomaly that we've observed with our particular card

77
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:43,000
running GPU boost once again in Far Cry

78
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,840
3 we see the Titan and the GTX 780

79
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:51,080
really run away with it and everything else is very very tightly packed within

80
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:56,120
about a 10% spread after that with the GTX 660 Ti really falling away bearing

81
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:59,960
in mind of course that a 660 Ti is significantly less expensive than most

82
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:03,960
of the other cards that are in in that sarda that top

83
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:08,599
tier I'm going to combine this last graph with my conclusion because I think

84
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:14,560
this graph pretty much sums it up GTX Titan and GTX 780 are here everything

85
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:19,039
else is here so the GTX 770 is a very evolutionary step forward in terms of

86
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:25,000
performance yes it performs better than a 670 yes it's less expensive than a 680

87
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,919
it looks better it has a more updated feature set NVIDIA's rolled out GeForce

88
00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:34,360
experience which updates your drivers for you as well as gives you recommendations for how to run your

89
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:35,840
games these are all fantastic things

90
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:40,560
that are good it has an illuminated GeForce GTX logo on the top which I

91
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:45,120
can't get over and I love makes your system look awesome it makes you feel

92
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:51,240
good about the purchase it feels solid you know metal aluminum crafted thing

93
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:56,840
like it's really really nice

94
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:59,240
however the GTX 780 is the one that

95
00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:02,879
really looks like the compelling value to me

96
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:08,520
because even though it's extremely expensive we're talking about you know

97
00:07:05,479 --> 00:07:10,560
well over $500 graphics card that's the

98
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:15,199
one where you're getting nearly that Titan performance which is the cream of

99
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:18,800
the crop when it comes to a single GPU nothing touches it I mean you've seen

100
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:26,280
from these graphs nothing's even close except the gtx780 and the gtx780 costs

101
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:31,000
significantly less than a GTX Titan so

102
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:33,199
would I go for the GTX 770 or would I

103
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,800
Pony up for a GTX 780 I think I would personally probably

104
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:40,560
save my pennies and go for the 780 I wouldn't jump all the way up to the

105
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,599
Titan because you can see for that extra money you're spending you're not getting

106
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:49,560
that much more of a performance increase but that's that sweet spot right there

107
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:55,759
that the 780 hits then if I didn't get a 780 I might run around and look for

108
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,560
maybe a hot deal on a 670 or a 660 Ti

109
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:02,440
that's quite overclockable or something along those lines if I didn't want spend

110
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:07,639
that much and save myself a few bucks so the 770 will come into its own I think

111
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:11,000
once those older cards are cleared out because there's always clearance hot

112
00:08:09,159 --> 00:08:15,280
deals when a new generation of cards comes in and I think that pretty much

113
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:19,520
wraps it up thank you for checking out my 1080p performance review of the GTX

114
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:24,240
770 don't forget to check out my unboxing as well as my 1440p performance

115
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,039
review because I think you guys will be surprised at how that extra memory

116
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:31,599
bandwidth helps this card when you're running at higher resolutions don't
