please help decide

Go to solution Solved by Daniel91,

yes, so what i said is either the gaming OR a 780, dont get lighting

 

 

I would say no.. better to get a 780 instead of lighting :P

 

 

780.

the 780 is like $300 more compared to the gaming version so ... i'll probably get the gaming 770 thank you guys

 

Don't waste money on the 770 Lightning. If you can afford to spend that much, the 780 is within your reach. 

i was thinking of getting a GTX 770 but the 2 diffrent one i chose have such i big price diffrence i dunno if it's worth paying the extra

 

MSI Twin frozer Gaming GTX 770 OC 2 GB (S$549) / (US$438)

 

MSI GTX 770 Lightning OC 2 GB(S$699) / (US$557)

 

the yellow lightning does match my build colour but a $100 diffrence = i haf to kiss up to my dad to let me spend my savings

 

please advice is it worth the extra?

dude, for that money you can get a 290X which will perform MUCH better than a 770 or even a 780.
