My GTX 770 is made by...''Sapphire/PC Partner'' ?!

[rowlands111]

Hey guys,

I read that Sapphire do not manufacture Nvidia cards - and this seems to be the consensus.

With that in mind, I was wondering (purely out of interest) why Speccy is showing me that they indeed did make my GPU, and if anyone out there can shed light on this matter? I literally can't find any official Sapphire info on the topic. It's no big deal either way; like I said, it was purely out of interest.

Btw, I own an Acer Predator G3-605 desktop. And I am also an enthusiast despite that fact, lol

Cheers

Pop open the side panel and look. Its not sapphire I can say that much.
A direct link to your PC would help, Hell it might not even be a 770!

And as below, speccy isnt the best. It says I have a 4GB card, I wish.

Speccy has a few problems.

Hehe Gam3r01 if I didn't use other apps that shows your GPU (like Heaven and 3d Mark) you would be making me a worried chap right about by suggesting it ain't a 770 (( lol here's the link if you still would like a peek - http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/model/DT.SQYEK.025

i7Baby - Really... Flipping Speccy 😡

PS, will defo pop the lid off I guess now that you suggest it...it might have a big fat ''REFERENCE'' sploshed across it. Oj

Thanks guys - from two experienced users the consensus still appears that it aint Sapphire. I appreciatee it.

'NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Up to 2 GB" Up to 2Gb? lol.
Its likely valid, just some digital ID errors. Try DXDiag and see what happens. May want to look into MSI afterburner too.

 

[rowlands111]

Hahah!!!

Ok man will do. I'll post back here so other users can have some insight should I find anything more out.

 

[rowlands111]

DXDiag just says ... Nvidia.

I don't think there is anysoftware out there that will identify t his card. And I really doubt that the Acer customer service rep will know either. http://i.imgur.com/2kV9k5Q.png

Where's me screwdriver....*sigh*

 

[Gam3r01]

Well we knows its a 770 now. DXDIAG is showing 4GB of memory, so that probably explains the sapphire part. Its OEM so some digital monitoring is skewed.

 

[i7Baby]

HWInfo shows the lot in detail

 

[rowlands111]

Not going to lie, that software is pretty impressive.

But...looks like this card wants to have us all on in the end.

 

[Gam3r01]

Well its an OEM that has some weird ID tag stuck to it. Its a 770, and thats really all that matters

Might as well throw GPU-Z at it too and see what that says. LOL
