They're all pretty good to be honest, sometimes results can be so close that you can just judge them on their looks more than anything else. Also, look into the software that comes with them, like MSI Afterburner or GPU Tweak etc.

Any will do. Have you considered a 7970? It's quite cheaper.

I wouldn't say better in terms of performance. They're neck to neck.

I'm pretty sure this is the 2GB model and not the 4GB 770.

7970 is cheaper and better! Gives you free games too. You will have some cash left over, so you can grab the humble bundle also!

Like the title says, gaming on 1440. Just wondering what 770 should I get? Been looking at the Gigabyte and MSI 4g version but is the Classified series much better?

Windforce...

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300, MSI GTX 560TI Twin Frozr 2, 2x500GB drives, cheapo 500w PSU, cheapo HP Pavilion Elite m9000 case

What 7970 should I check out? Or would you recommend I should say.

MSI, ASUS, Sapphire. As log as the clock is reasonable, just go for what you like the look of.

Well it's also the reference 7950 and 7970. Both are huge OCers

This is the highest performing 7970 for a little more than a 770
