I think this is a great deal, assuming you do the Promo Code (Which is $20 off and I think everyone should be able to do), you get down to $270, only $20 more than a GTX 960. Do the MIR and you got yourself an R9 290 for $240. Killer deal IMO.

Oh man I want it so badly, I just can't justify buying anything new because my 770 is still such a good card.

If I didn't already have my GTX 970, I would've probably gotten this card. $120 less and practically the same performance. But stuff happens, and I'm happy with my GTX 970.

considering the price of 960s, you might pull off selling your card for 220$ and buying this for just 20$ more. I don't usually advise to change gpu before 3 years but in this case it might just be acceptable :)

Don't know where I would actually be able to sell a 770 at though, Ebay takes way too big of a chunk of the final selling price and no where else really has enough people looking for a 770 for it to sell.

hm, good point. Unless you know anyone interested that could be a problem.

I had one for 24 hours... Was a nice card while it lasted. Actually paid $239 for it from Amazon. Anyway, I had a mosfet explode on mine. :( But now I have a 970.

Real problem is finding someone dumb enough to buy it for $220.

$220 shipped is actually a great deal for a 770, I still think it is going to outperform or easily match the 960 performance. And with 960's being rumored to being closer to the $300 mark someone could actually save quite a bit of money buying a used 770 like mine.

 

 

You like my sells pitch? :P

960 is already out, and it sucks. 200$ price point sub par performance.

Ah damn, wish Linus would have put a 770 into the benchmark graphs.

I would rather spend the extra $$ on a GTX 970.

Forgive me El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education...
