[Q] GTX 770 2gb playing Watch Dogs with Ultra Textures


Recommended Posts

There was some stuttering on Ultra (with TXAA 4x and HBAO+ High). Not bad, but I decided to do a mix of Ultra and High and drop it to TXAA 2x and HBAO+ Low. A bit smoother and still looks good.

 

 

Even my 780 Ti (3Gb) experiences some stuttering with Ultra settings, HBAO+ High and SMAA  :-/

It seems to happen when driving or going into new mission areas, even though most of the time I'm running 80+ FPS.

 

With regards to the topic, I would try and find a GTX770 4Gb if you can.

I'd recommend this Zotac GTX770 4Gb (with free Watch Dogs download code) for $369.99 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500303&cm_re=GTX770-_-14-500-303-_-Product

Interestingly, one of the settings I have set to Ultra is "Textures" and it's the one thing where there's actually a warning saying it requires 3GB VRAM. Oops! I swear it didn't have that warning during pre-release. lol. Well good to know it doesn't stop you from selecting it! :ph34r:

Look at this http://www.amazon.com/PNY-GDDR5-Graphics-Cards-VCGGTX7704XPB-OC but I'm not sure about PNY, I live out of the US so I'm looking for the best quality components and reliability brand.

 

Can you guys give me your opinion about PNY?. That's price its more is more suspicious than attractive to me.

Damn, that's a nice price indeed. I haven't really heard much about PNY in years and we haven't reviewed any of their cards in quite awhile it seems. But it's rated well and I mean, the important parts are made by NVIDIA anyway, so I don't see there being much risk.

I guess im gonna go for it. I don't like the PCB though, huge and its like a "frankenstein".

 

Sorry for the bad links, what's the difference here?

I want to know before buy it, maybe they're using cheap parts or something..

The second one is overclocked slightly more, but it's not worth it. The main reason for the price difference is not the OC, but rather that the cheaper one is sold by Amazon, while the expensive one is sold by CircuitCity (which I didn't even think was still in business).
 
Here's a comparison of the two versions on Newegg. As you can see, Newegg has them priced equal to each other (though OC2 is out of stock).

All high performance cards are going to be long, it comes with the territory sadly!

 

Get the cheaper one and enjoy life!
