GTX 770 or GTX 680

[Matteo De Vellis]

I am going to be building a second rig and I want to know if I should get a used Gigabyte WF GTX 770 or a used Superclocked GTX 680 with blower fan

Oh yea I forgot to mention the GTX 680 is the 4GB classified EVGA version

The 770 is going to give you a slight advantage with almost any title.

I always stay away from the blower fan design, they friggin suck (No pun intended)

From a performance point of view the two cards are comparable.

I prefer cards with stock direct exhaust double slot coolers.
They get the hot vga air directly out the back of the case.
Other aftermarket coolers do a good job of cooling the vga chip in an open testbed.
But in a case, they just dump hot air back into the case where case cooling has to deal with it.
That heats up both the graphics card AND the cpu..... not good.
