Sold my cards via the auction site at last and will be picking up a Evga GTX 770sc acx,
Free backplate via Evga website.
Anyone else have this, any good? Reviews seem very positive.

Not bad but quite old. How much and what did you sell?

khani47 · 27 Jun 2013 at 18:36

Sorry, just edited the post, I sold 2 Evga gtx 570's, one was the classified version.they both went for £270.

Nice

the 770's are very nice cards. Much better memory bandwidth than the 680, should provide similar performance to your dual 570's but much less power use, cooler and quieter..

Surprised none of the GTX 770's come with a free game.

I have the Palit GTX 770 JetStream, the 770's are great cards and for me at least the jump of £200 for 10 fps seemed a little much, however I would watch the drivers I have been doing some reading up and the drivers at the moment (320.18) cause consistent black screening, with mine crashing during games and reverting to the desktop. This has been worse (Noticeably in the case of users with the MSI GTX 770 Lightening) where by it's been crashing the PC entirely. I have yet to try the beta driver which has been released (320.49) so I will post back on here if it fixes it or not but for the moment stick with the drivers that come with the CD (320.08) as I have had no issues that haven't been caused by myself so far!

The beta driver (320.49) I have yet to experience any problems with and it seemed to increase performance a little too

So I would use that, avoid 320.18 like it's the plague

Good card, apparently. Will look good with backplate.

Free stuff i didnt even know i could get... cool...

I got my EVGA 770 GTX SC ACX alphabet soup edition yesterday and im very happy so far.

nice -but isn't going from 2x570s to a 770 a downgrade in overall performance ?

jimfowler_82 · 28 Jun 2013 at 15:17

I have this card and can confirm it kicks ass

can push the clocks up quite a bit too for a few more fps.

Not all games perform great in SLI

True and I took that into consideration, what swayed me is the fact in a year or so, I can put the 770 in Sli config and would be kick ass... Well so I think.

yeah - good plan that actually

.... a 770 is quite tempting

I only have a single 570 atm - just not sure what to upgrade to

Good job I got the coolmaster Haf x, , rather ugly looking but keeps very spacious.

I love that case!!! Try cable management with a Palit GTX 770 JetStream its basically impossible:L
Im thinking of going for a corsair graphite case, i reckon they look awesome!

khani47 · 30 Jun 2013 at 00:37

Picked up the evga gtx770 sc acx, single card is running games higher than 2 gtx 570's, I'm very impressed, am now looking forward to adding another card.
(Installed some red LEDs too)
I'll add some pics on the cases section later)
