Do you feel that the GTX 770 will be a sufficient card for my purposes?

[RA2]

I'm pairing it with the FX-8320, and I want to know if the card will be fine for 1080p High/Ultra at a 60 frame rate for games. I don't do too much outside of gaming, so will it be fine, or is it overkill?

[PillowSmoke]

What games specifically? 

[GeekySole9354]

No, it will be fine.

[Thalandros]

Maybe not max settings, but most recent games will run at 60fps at high settings for a while. It's a very good card. If you want MAX settings and 60+ FPS look at a 290x or 780.

What games specifically? 

Like, CoD Ghosts, racing titles, GTA V (when it comes out), etc.

[XTankSlayerX]

Youll be able to get 60 solid FPS in BF4 on high

Youll be able to run most of those on ultra

[flibberdipper]

Should be fine. Won't be Ultra on all games, though.

[Archangel1994]

R9 290 is a better choice. Has 10-20% better performance and it costs just about the same (usually only up to $20-30 more).

[CoolBeans]

It is good. But like @Archangel1994 said get a 290

[i_build_nanosuits]

i'd go with a R9 290 as well...almost the same price, much better GPU. ..and 4GB of VRAM

I have a gigabyte GTX 770 and it runs EVERYTHING I throw at it perfectly. Battlefield 3 ultra settings 150fps, all valve games 300fps it jsut takes what ever is spat at it no problem in my opinion since I have been fucking it over with games like dayz, using games with intense scenes of lighting and shader detail. It's perfectly strong enough in my experiences

run metro last light, watchdogs or crysis 3 or even far cry 3 at full details settings at 1080p and monitor your framerates...there's a bunch of games that are more demanding than the one's you've mentionned and those are ''old'' games...far cry 4 ?!...anyway...

Lets not forget that valve games are not really demanding and Battlefield can utilize the ridiculously OP 4960x you have. DO NOT FORGET THAT! Also wtf. 770 with a 4960x? Upgrade that shit lol.

I   have Frycry 3, crysis 3. i don't have metro last light because i'm a pussy   I have tried bioshock infinite, mirror's edge, titanfall and Battlefield 4 but i will never try Watch_dogs because that is all it is unfinished coding the game is horrible broken by publishers desicion so i am not going to fork out 60 for a shitty game my brother has already on his xbox one and 360 I ask him why he is retarded he doesn't answer

it's only an multithreading beast cpu? that would be used better in a server situtation it isn't op at all *sarcasm*

@Archangel1994 I like your profile pic :3 it's so cute

Most games on high settings yes, some games won't though such as Far Cry 3, Watch Dogs, Modded Skyrim and Crysis 3. I would really try to save your pennies and get an R9 290 though or a 780 if you are a dedicated member of the green team.

[i_build_nanosuits]

Linus Sebastian GTX 770 1080p performance review...

...the conclusion at the end says it all!

 

[I/O]

The 770 is completely redundant. get an R9 290 more performance, less price enough said.

Hey man this is some kind of an idea that you've built in your mind by readings comments on forums isnt it?! Those where comments made by people that didnt had the hardware to push watchdogs on ultra at 1080p with a smooth framerate...the game itself is VERY fun and VERY addictive and with a core i7 haswell and an high-end graphics card the experience of playing this is VERY good...the game is perfectly smooth and bug free on my system and i loved every bit of it actualy. The game is not ''broken'' or ''unfinished'' or anything along those line. It is indeed a very demanding game to run on max settings and yes probably it could have been optimised better but that is the case for many AAA games out there and if you have the proper hardware to throw at it then it doent have to be optimised that well for it to run great, hence my recommandation to the OP to go the AMD route and get a radeon R9 290 4GB 512bit bus width video card instead of a shitty 2gb 386bit GK104 last gen tech GTX 770.

BTW before you say VRAM of 4GB is useless, be aware watchdogs and titanfall both require 3.7gb of VRAM to max out the texture settings at 1080P and it will be the same for many games to come, myself can't max out watchdogs texture settings because of VRAM limitation on my 3GB graphics card and that sucks, so i would trade my GTX 780 for an R9 290 anyday.

Well 1) i am not going to support someone who stabs every one that really wanted the see it as it's best. 2) my card has 4GB of VRAM but as you see I not really a fan of AMD for my reason in my personal life. So please do write and other large paragraph telling me why my opinions are wrong and why I should go back to ubi because 1)uplay is a piece of shit imo 2) I FUCKING HATE sony  so that the phrase of every time a watch dogs ad comes up it's "best experienced on PS4" that just makes me want to throw a brick in the face of sony's ceo
