680 or 770

[giggles9944]

I just saw that NCIX is having a sale on the 670 and 680, so I was wondering if I should buy a 770, or a 680 that is on sale.

Wait until black friday or the summer and buy a 770.


OR, do the logical thing, and wait for AMD's 8000 series and see which one performs better.

[Mac69]

the 770 is cheaper and has the same performance(give or take a few frames either way) but when they fix the gpu boost prob itll probably be a little bit better. plus its new and has all the driver support. dont take my word on it getting  much better performance but price to performance 770

[KaareKanin]

If you could list prices... :-p

9000 series*

From this choice, stick with a 770.

But depending on what you are running now, wait for the new AMD ones, and wait for a little price drop on the new Nvidias.

[TechFan@ic]

Since 770 practically = 680, get whatever is cheaper.

We don't know for sure how they're gonna number their new line of cards.

The 8000 series is technically already out. So yeah.

For mobile devices.

Oh god go 770, I bought one yesterday. It's unbelievably nice to be able to max out games fully and get 60+fps.

For mobile devices.

It's for desktops. http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/8000/pages/8000-series.aspx#2

Wow, it's like AMD just wants to make bad decisions. :\

[Opsilon]

Get the 770, it's a refreshed model, it can overclock more, and the memory is faster out of the box, the 680 memory can't really get to 7ghz, and the 770 can go even higher than that

 

the 770 will be priced in the range of 670 very soon so you might wait for that

No, I mean 8000....

Just wait until they're officially announced.

I'd be going for the 770 personally, the titan cooler and GPU boost 2.0 are two features I personally couldn't pass up. If a 4GB variant isn't unreasonably priced, that might be an option too.

 

If you got a good deal on a second hand 680 though, It'd be hard to say no too however.

HD8000 is for OEMs (including mobile platforms) only. Hawaii is from HD9000. It's been established.

there seems to be a little gotcha on the cooler. as the "partners" have decided to use

cooling solutions other than the titan/780 air-cooler. an Inno3D in EU is optioning

the titan/780 cooler and EVGA took a poll on; is a deciding factor in purchase of GTX770

based on the titan/780 cooler for $30 more in price?

 

so all of the partners are using private party cooling solutions.

MSI=Twin Frozr

EVGA=ACX

ASUS=DCUII

Gigabyte=Windforce

but no titan/780 cooler mentioned..

Let's call them the "new AMD cards", and everyone will be happy :D

 

Also, wait for the possible AMD announcement or go 770.

[LessThanSatisfactory]

get the 770, it is closer to the best price:performance ratio, and it is a bit more futureproof. If the performance doesn't satisfy you, I doubt that it wouldn't, you can always get another one later down the road.

I honestly don't care what they call them. To see people bitching about what number they're gonna use just makes me cringe.

[FluffyNuggets]

Get whatever is cheaper and has more VRAM. 770 is pretty much a 680 so there's very little difference between the two.
