Palit GeForce GTX 770 (pictures)

[Karikiro]

This thread provides high resolution pictures of the Palit GeForce GTX 770 from various angles and a vague idea of the noise level and type, that is to be expected.


Introduction

 

Before I bought a Palit GeForce GTX 770 for my system, I was searching for pictures of the card to get an impression of the build-quality and features. Sadly all I could find was pictures of the Jetstream version or the CAD-model of the card, which didn't help me a whole lot.

 

So for anyone, who wants to get a better look on the card: here you go.

 

 

Measurements

PCB

Length: 26cm

Width: 10cm (up to 11cm without PCIe-connector)

 

Card

Length: 28cm

Width: 10cm

Hight: 4cm

 

 

Noise (highly subjective, tested in an fractal design Define R4)

 

It is audible at idle, but it is just the air passing through the fins of the cooler. Under load however, it can get significantly louder.

 

The emitted operating frequency of the fans can get annoying, but isn't super loud. It is low to medium piched and occours from 35% up. Air movement noise sets in at 50% and is medium to high pitched. The usual operation speed is between 55% and 70% under load. Audible without, but not really with sound turned on.

 

I find it worth noting, that, under load, there is a low to medium pitched buzzing (not coil-whine) beeing emitted from the card. It is easily canceled out by putting it into a case and closing the side-panels.

As @LinusTech would say, it has a slight penis extension.

The Palit 770 is also in the pre built system, that TTL just reviewed:

 

 

Looks cool!

That warranty void sticker is a turn off for me..but the cooler design looks pretty clean and nice. How's the noise btw?

it looks good. looks fair easy to paint if that shroud is all one piece.

Bearable for me.

Yea, I saw that. It reminded me, that I wanted to create this topic.

Yes, it really is for me, too. I would have liked to disassemble the cooler without voiding the warranty. Also wierd, that they put one on the voltage read-out points.

The difficult part about it is, that the fans are attached to the plastic shroud. Sadly not as easy then.

 

 

 

I am about to update the first post and in the process of editing the pictures.

that is a shame because it could stand out in a rig a bit more if you painted it.

Update

 

Added pictures of the card without the fan-shroud.

That is one damn awesome looking and VERY clean build!! I love it and all that black. Very awesome. Have you considered posting it in the build log section?

Thank you very much.

 

Actually, I have already created a thread for my build, but haven't updated it, yet.

 

The reason I took off the fan-bracket was to replace the original ones, due to their excessive noise-production under heavy load. If you would like to learn more, keep your eyes peeled for the build-log.
