Is the gtx 770 worth it from hd 7770

[BlackPanty]

I dont think I will be able to afford the 60-80$ extra from the gtx 970 so I have to go with the 770 or something else within the 770 price range that doesnt exceed 20-30$. I'm really in a tight budget

It is definitely worth it if you are going to use it beyond 1080p 60Hz.

I know the GTX 770 is a overall better card but these stats basically make it seem like it's really nothing too big from 7770 to 770 I'm confused?

Yes it's worth it. Big difference at 1080p+. Just make sure your PSU can handle the upgrade and that your CPU will not bottleneck the 770.

Yes I do have a 750w psu with i7 3770k. do you think I should wait 1 month to get the 970 or just buy the 770

Don't use that website to compare GPUs. Look at real world benchmarks.

Yeah it's a huge huge difference between the two of them, just take a look at this card comparison in games:

Like RazerZ said make sure your PSU is able to handle it, the GTX770 requires 600w minimum with 42A@12V+ rail.

Having said that, it would be better if you could afford the GTX970

Which 750W PSU? Your i7 is solid.

What price are you getting the 770 at?

 

[BlackPanty]

I believe it's corsair 100% sure it's 750w + (80) ? idk the + 80 I'm pretty sure if it can handle my card (which is bad but still a dedicated card) (Hd 7770) it will handle the gtx 770 since its only a few watts difference around 260 or 270

 

[RazerZ]

Worst case it will be a CX series psu, but it should still work fine.

 

[BlackPanty]

Actually fail, I just looked again it's basically this

Will it go good? or is that bad

 

[RazerZ]

No go. Another member had a different Ultra PSU that failed on him recently after a while of use. Luckily his system wasn't damaged.

That PSU is Tier V in the PSU Tier List (check my sig) and is not recommended for any systems, much less gaming systems.

If you're getting the 770 I would invest in a decent 600W+ PSU. If you get the GTX 970 a quality 550W PSU would work.

This Rosewill Capstone 750W PSU is on sale for a good price and comes with a $20 rebate.

I had this system for over almost 2 years with this psu
