I bought a zotac GTX560 and now I'm thinking of two things.

1. Is HD7770 is better than this GTX560???
2. I saw that HD7770 is also a faster card but HD7770 produces a lot low heat, so is the excess heat of GTX560 will any matter for me??

I have fan cooling system, 2,120mm aerocool fan and 1,80mm aerocool fan are there in my cabinate..

Do you think I have satisfactory cooling?? the aerocool 120mm fans are of 1000-1100RPM . I have those fans only. Don't have water cooling or anything.

gtx 560 is faster than hd 7770 but not a very big difference ....so personally i would go for 7770 bcz of low power consumption and u can overclock it to .... to match the performance of gtx 560 stock ....

The GTX560 was slightly faster than the AMD HD 6870. The 6850 and 7770 are very close performance wise. That said, an HD 6870 or GTX560 should be a bit faster than the 7770. The performance difference could be upwards of 20%.

The current competition the GTX560 has is the AMD HD 7790, HD 6870 and Nvidia's own GTX650 Ti. The 7770 simply does not perform at the same level, at least not until overclocked to around 1200 Mhz core.

I own a 7770 and it's an amazing card for the money. However, it simply doesn't have the power to compete against the GTX560 and that class of card.

Read through this article. It compares the new 7790 to a 7770, 6870 and GTX650.

But it consumes double power than HD7770. Is the extra power really worth for the extra performance??

Only you can justify if the jump in performance is worth the extra power consumption and heat. Even though it's not a card you listed, the GTX650Ti or 7790 would ultimately be the best cards in this performance category.

If you want to have a slower graphics card then do it. I personally would take the GTX560.

Actually I'm thinking of heat and power. My card has a blower type cooling system so its not heating the other components though, but may be other components are 1C heating more. its not the main prob for me. My problem is more power is wasting. :(

The 7770 is an 80w card. The GTX560 is a 150w card. So basically, the 7770 uses half the power of the GTX560 while being on average 20% slower.
