So, hey guys, I'm new and I really need your help. I am looking at the MSI Computer Corp. Video Graphics Card N770 LIGHTNING. I really need to know wether it is good or bad. If bad what would be a good one?

Thanks guys!

What do you mean by "it's you again", of course it's me again!

If you want a 770 then go for it. It's one of the best in my opinion.

One of the best 680/770 money can buy. Very good quality from MSI, no doubt. Quiet cooler and very effective.

 

But for the price I'd go for a 280X

Warning: This will be my subjective opinion!

 

It is a good card, but it is not the best version of the 770. I personally love ASUS and therefore i would go for the ASUS DCU2 version which generally performs better and is better looking. It is also more silent and better value. So yeah here it is anyway :)

i would get a 7970 or 280x because the extra gb of vram will mean you can everthing at 1080p on ultra without running out of vram. its also a bit faster in some games and a bit cheaper.

MSI is a good company and their products are top of the line but i don't like the way they make it so if you remove the stock cooler you loose your warranty. Other just as good  or better vendors are ASUS and Galaxy however Galaxy support is quite terrible but the GPUs are beast and OC quite significantly in my experience.

A water-cooled mid-tier gaming PC.

Its a great card with a great cooler. I would go for it if you are looking for a good GTX 770. Or you could save some money and get a MSI Twin Frozr 4 R9 280X card.
