more welcome to graphics card dinner

00:00:14.879 --> 00:00:19.480
theater with your host lonus the tech

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.960
tips guy this video is all about the graphics

00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:30.320
card that looks exactly like the other graphics cards this is the GeForce GTX

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

00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:40.440
or based on what I just said it looks pretty much identical to the GTX Titan

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.960
and the GTX 780 however that is pretty

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:49.160
much where the similarities end in terms of performance because this graphics

00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:53.239
card is based on the GK 104 GPU the same

00:00:49.160 --> 00:00:56.079
GPU that the GTX 670 and 680 were based

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

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:06.520
it is sort of a rebadge but it is an enhanced rebadge it is an updated

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:13.240
graphics card so what they've done is they've taken a full fledged gk104 GPU

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:18.520
just like you find on the GTX 680 paired

00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:21.759
that with 7 gigabit per second so 7 GHz

00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:23.960
gddr5 memory so faster memory and then

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:30.360
they've added some new technology GPU Boost 2.0 the updated cooler as you've

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.600
already seen as well as their new fan

00:01:30.360 --> 00:01:37.880
profile that makes the card quieter while running cool due to GPU boost 2

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

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:47.600
expensive how much does it cost uh actually less than a GTX 680 used to

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:53.560
this is coming in to fill the Gap that GTX 670 is leaving behind because that

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:59.320
card will be going away to be replaced by the GTX

00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:03.039
770 without further Ado let's get into the performance we're using our standard

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

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:11.680
now we're using the latest beta drivers from both the red team and the green

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.040
team as well as EVGA Precision for all

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:17.640
of our GeForce overclocking and MSI After Burner for all of our radon

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.680
overclocking the reason for that is we found that Precision when we started our

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:26.959
testing at least had better support for GPU core offsets now speaking of GPU

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.519
core offsets this graphics card uses GPU boost 2 which means that overclocking is

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:36.920
a little bit different if you check out my GTX Titan overclocking guide you will

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:39.440
know how to overclock the GTX 770 we run

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

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:49.080
of an anomaly that I believe will be

00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:50.519
smoothed out very very quickly but what

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:55.599
you're going to see in our performance testing is that the 770 really didn't

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.239
separate itself from the GTX 680 in fact

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:03.760
it fell behind in some of our tests which was confusing until we looked into

00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:08.760
how our GPU boost 2 was behaving and it looks like on this particular card it

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:14.440
wasn't boosting up very high remember guys GPU boost is a variable thing one

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:21.000
card May boost up more than another and the spec is based on typical GPU boost

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:23.440
so it looks like once overclocked R 680

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:29.080
had a very favorable core clock whereas our 770 was not boosting up as much or

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.000
as consistently in spite of the fact that they were being run in a room with

00:03:30.920 --> 00:03:37.400
the same temperatures so your mileage may vary here but without further Ado

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:43.040
let's get into the games Metro last Light is our first game

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:47.000
up and you can tell where the performance comes from in this game it

00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:52.280
comes from memory bandwidth the top two cards are GTX Titan and GTX 780 and they

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:57.560
are so far ahead of everything else about 30% faster than anything else that

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

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.239
GHz gddr5 that's making a difference in

00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:12.959
spite of its 256bit memory bus it still pulls ahead by an ever so small Edge

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:15.959
against the 7970 and 7950 from AMD and

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:17.680
then if you look at the 680 670 and 660

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:22.400
Ti they really fall behind because they're not using the same Advanced

00:04:19.799 --> 00:04:29.280
memory that you find on the 770 in Tomb Raider we once again see GTX

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:31.400
Titan and gtx780 just run away with it

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:35.600
then we we see a clustering of cards that's all pretty much within margin of

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

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:44.000
there and only the 670 and the 660 Ti

00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:49.039
really fall behind in this particular Benchmark in Crisis 3 we're going to see

00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:54.600
that same pattern again with the Titan the 780 and then everything else except

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:59.479
the 660 Ti where we really see it fall behind compared to the other cards this

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

00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:08.759
continue in BioShock Infinite same story

00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.199
guys so we see the GTX Titan and GTX 780

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:15.320
really run away with this one with a very tight clustering of pretty much

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:23.120
everything else behind them with the 660ti bringing up the rear again due to

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:27.240
its more cut down design compared to the

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:29.199
670s and 680 and 770 which are all very

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

00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:39.560
again having that anomaly that we've observed with our particular card

00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:43.000
running GPU boost once again in Far Cry

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.840
3 we see the Titan and the GTX 780

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:51.080
really run away with it and everything else is very very tightly packed within

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:56.120
about a 10% spread after that with the GTX 660 Ti really falling away bearing

00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:59.960
in mind of course that a 660 Ti is significantly less expensive than most

00:05:57.880 --> 00:06:03.960
of the other cards that are in in that sarda that top

00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:08.599
tier I'm going to combine this last graph with my conclusion because I think

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:14.560
this graph pretty much sums it up GTX Titan and GTX 780 are here everything

00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:19.039
else is here so the GTX 770 is a very evolutionary step forward in terms of

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:25.000
performance yes it performs better than a 670 yes it's less expensive than a 680

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:28.919
it looks better it has a more updated feature set NVIDIA's rolled out GeForce

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

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.840
games these are all fantastic things

00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:40.560
that are good it has an illuminated GeForce GTX logo on the top which I

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:45.120
can't get over and I love makes your system look awesome it makes you feel

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:51.240
good about the purchase it feels solid you know metal aluminum crafted thing

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:56.840
like it's really really nice

00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:59.240
however the GTX 780 is the one that

00:06:56.840 --> 00:07:02.879
really looks like the compelling value to me

00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:08.520
because even though it's extremely expensive we're talking about you know

00:07:05.479 --> 00:07:10.560
well over $500 graphics card that's the

00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:15.199
one where you're getting nearly that Titan performance which is the cream of

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

00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:26.280
from these graphs nothing's even close except the gtx780 and the gtx780 costs

00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:31.000
significantly less than a GTX Titan so

00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:33.199
would I go for the GTX 770 or would I

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:37.800
Pony up for a GTX 780 I think I would personally probably

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

00:07:38.960 --> 00:07:44.599
Titan because you can see for that extra money you're spending you're not getting

00:07:42.039 --> 00:07:49.560
that much more of a performance increase but that's that sweet spot right there

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

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.560
maybe a hot deal on a 670 or a 660 Ti

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:02.440
that's quite overclockable or something along those lines if I didn't want spend

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

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.000
once those older cards are cleared out because there's always clearance hot

00:08:09.159 --> 00:08:15.280
deals when a new generation of cards comes in and I think that pretty much

00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:19.520
wraps it up thank you for checking out my 1080p performance review of the GTX

00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:24.240
770 don't forget to check out my unboxing as well as my 1440p performance

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.039
review because I think you guys will be surprised at how that extra memory

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.599
bandwidth helps this card when you're running at higher resolutions don't
