gtx 770 future driver support.

[ashwinqwer]

Hi everyone. I was planning to buy a gtx 970. But recently I changed my mind to buy a gtx 770 with a thrust master gaming wheel....
But I heard that nvidia had discontinued gtx 770. So I want to know whether they still release drivers for gtx 770 in future...
Please reply as soon as possible and thanks in advance.

Given that their latest drivers support graphics cards from 2007, and they still have legacy drivers beyond that, I would not worry. They discontinue cards yearly when the new series comes out; it's nothing to worry about.

that being said, 970 is WAY more powerful and should not be passed up for a steering wheel

If we're getting a wheel, though, we're likely playing racing games, where the bottleneck tends to be more on the CPU, and even a 770 tends to be enough to run 5760x1080p well. Plus, a good wheel setup costs over $200, so getting a $350 card (the 970) for a similar price to a $350 card (the 770 on launch) plus a $200 wheel sounds like a good deal to me.

Yea I free that gtx 970 is powerful. But it still creeps me about the artifact issue. I have not heard of an artifact issue in gtx 970, but still I am afraid.
Both the gfx card are zotac brand and PSU is sea sonic 650w 80+ gold certified. CPU is core i7 4790/4770k. Everything will be in stock speed( no overclocking forever)

My budget is 77000 INR (around 1300$) the setup you are telling is surely to blow my pockets. The steering wheel I selected is 4000 INR (around 50$) its a thrust master Ferrari edition(also the one which comes with transmission)
Moreover gtx 770 is 100$ less than gtx 970. Also I don't play graphic intensive games often.

Fair enough; I was generalizing from other possible products. Also, the fact the 770 is $100 less now does not change the fact it was originally a $350 card. In the end, I still think you got a good deal, specially for mostly racing games that do not require the extra power of the 970. Anyway, that's beyond the point of this thread

hehe do whichever you feel is best, talking from experience and not benchmarks, 2 exactly the same systems, one with 770 2gb one with 970 4gb (1080p), 970 seems to rape everything compared
