Nvidia releases GTX 770 based on GTX 680 hardware

@abdoalwaer  

You do understand that people overclock their 680s right.

@abdoalwaer There isn't.

But then again, this wasn't meant for you.

@abdoalwaer because a 680 overclocked beats yours ... so...the argument never ends. 
Equally the next load of cards will be better than yours so not sure what your point is. If you got a 6xx series your sorted.... for those who have not yet bought one, might aswell go to 7xx series now.

@abdoalwaer then don't, not everyone owns a 600-series cards.

@DarkSaber2k  

That is odd, my gtx480 is not holding up to the latest games. Heck it doesn't hold up to games that are 18 months old. I even overclocked it, put proper thermal paste in it, and clean it out regularly. I wish i could find the GPU wizard that allows all these internet users to get more performance with less hardware. By chance, are you running liquid nitrogen as a coolant on your 460?

@DarkSaber2k Not it doesn't, the more ram allows you for more multitasking in cooperation with the CPU.As long as you have as much as the game requires, it makes no difference, the game only uses what it requires.

I have 16GB like you. No difference.

@DarkSaber2k Nope not helping at all, the amount of RAM has no effect on game speed unless you have less then requered, but if you have more it wont speed it up.

I had GTX580 which is twice faster then yours and well it sucked major balls in new games, my breaking point was Tomb Raider.

Got 7990Ghz edition, because next gen games will be ATI optimized since both consoles have ATI GPUs (actually all 3, but who counts wiicrap eh?)

@TerminalError  

You may have bought your 680 a month ago, but the thing's been out for over a year so you could've guessed a refresh was in the works....info on the 700 series has been roiling for quite some time.  First we thought it might be Maxwell, then when Titan hit it was pretty clear it would be a Kepler refresh. 

And the 680 is still a great card and plenty damn special.  There's no compelling upgrade for it until Maxwell arrives.

@TerminalError  

Ouch. That is always harsh. In all fairness though, you should have known. Nvidia's gk110 chip was no secret. Almost every review i read about the Titan mentioned other cards coming very soon too.

@TerminalError Actually, well if you bought an Evga card, which you should have, they have a buy back program where you can basically return the older card to upgrade to a new one...don't know if any companies other Evga do this though......Still loving my 570HD with 2.5gb

@YearoftheSnake5 Ha! I have a GTX 275 too! I was going to go for the 780 but I think I'll go with the 770. But I'll wait for the new consoles to arrive first then see the benchmarks on the newest games before I decide. In the meantime I'll upgrade my processor & RAM and finish my backlog.

@buccomatic Nope its not. Its a good card according to:

@jeremy-   Hello jeremy. I have the same GPU as you (a slightly oc GTX570) And from the benchies I can tell you that you can skip this generation, unless you go for a GK110 (titan or GTX780) which ofc its very expensive. The GTX770 will give you 50% only increase of GPU performance for $400 which is not so good imo. Your GTX570 is at the 66% (2/3) of the power of GTX770. Source: http://tpucdn.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_770/images/perfrel_1920.gif So unless you are playing on far more ressolutions like 1440p or a multimonitor setup, just SKIP any form of GK104.

@jeremy- wait a couple weeks. it just came out so it will be a couple of weeks before you can find theright one easily.

try newegg.com, tigerdirect.com, amazon.com or microcenter.com

@DevilMightCry yeah it's not 43%...770 is barely 5% better than 680 and 680 is 5% better than 670.so at most it's 10% better than 670...BUT the thing is GTX 770 is priced at 420$.The cheapest GTX 680(2GB) I've found is priced at 490$ and the GTX 670 FTW(2GB) is for 420$.so i guess 770 has a better price/performance than 670...i say these by looking at Tomshardware's Benchmarks and EVGA shop....

@IndiePrower I would suggest that if you want advice on what card to get you don't ask for it on gamespot forums. Heed the warning, as some people around here think that the PS4/XboxOne will have 5 (FIVE) gigs of VRAM - when they're running APUs.

@IndiePrower i think you might be better off with the 7970 because when the new video games come out, at the end of year, the system specs for those games might require 5 gb vram since they will be ports from the consoles that have 5gb ram gpus.

i don't know for sure if that will be the case. but i'm hesitant to buy any video card, right now, unless it has at least 5-6 gb of vram.
