Is this graphic card better than this ?

[peter234]

Is this MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming 4GB better than the asus gtx 780 3gb ?? And isnt better ?

 

[Jameson Clark]

No the extra memory doesn't increase performance until you get to resolutions above 1080 and even then it won't really catch up

 

[peter234]

But the card with 4gb is cheaper than the 780

 

[Jameson Clark]

Yeah it's cheaper because it isn't as powerful

 

[Ravi Gagan]

If price isn't an issue I would go for the 780. It's just a better card. 3GB if VRAM seems more than sufficient for the near future on a single monitor set up.

In threads, articles, and reviews I have read the 4GB version offers little over the 2GB version for the average user. Especially @ 1920x1080.

nope, 770 4gb < 780.

 

[peter234]

The 4gb has better clock rates than the gtx 780 with 3gb and the 4gb one is cheaper which one should i take

Hey,

As said, the extra Video Memory is pointless if a game doesn't use it and there really are NO games that would use more than 2GB with a GTX770. I could give a handful of scenarios where you could use more than 2GB with a GTX770 but every one of them would make more sense to drop the anti-aliasing, or use lower quality MODS to keep the frame rate high enough and then you'd be below 2GB again so the 4GB would give no benefit.

The only logical place to use a GTX770 4GB card is in SLI with two or three cards with a very demanding game and/or 2560x1440+ resolution.

You should be looking at one of the following assuming your CPU won't bottleneck too much (i5-2500K/i5-3570 or similar).

a) Asus GTX770 2GB ($320 USD), or

b) EVGA GTX780 3GB (967MHz ACX cooler). $510 USD.

Clock rates are far from everything, as is memory. As said before the 770 is not as high performing as the 780 so it is cheaper. I went with a 770 personally because of budget

GTX 770 can most demanding gaming maxed out in 1080p,
GTX 780 can most demanding gaming maxed out in 1440p,
I think you should go with GTX 770 and save money, because GTX 770 ideal for 1080p gaming.
Go with EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Superclocked with EVGA ACX Cooler

It has good cooling and it is factory overclocked, so need not to worry about overclocking for quite some time.

The GTX 780 is better. End of.

peter234,
This card is arguably the best VALUE and simply a great card (Asus GTX770 2GB). Here's a Summary Benchmark so you can see how it performs, as I know things can get confusing:

It's about $320 USD through pcpartpicker.
