Four 770's ..one to choose

[White Wind]

Hi guys

Today I'm buying a 2GB 770 for a gaming pc that I'm building (4670k, M6Gene) ..tomorrow prices will rise where I'm gonna buy, so I'm doing it today.

I need to ask you which one is the most advisable, out of these four :

Zotac GTX 770 OC Dual-Silencer

PNY GTX 770

MSI GTX 770 TwinFrozr Gaming

Gainward GTX 770 Phantom
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b2031/gainward-gtx-770-phantom.html


Prices are the same, the Gainward just slightly more but no problem.
I plan to OC it myself, so I guess I shouldn't care if it's factory-OCed or not (?)
I'm seeking performance (of course), but also the best overclockability and the best cooling solution (efficient and silent)

What do you guys say ?

Msi or gainward, though you'll likely get better warranty terms buying either brand from ocuk...

If I were buying a new 770 right now it would be the Gigabyte version:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3x OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (GV-N770OC-2GD) £275.99
Total : £285.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Great cooler, 3 year warranty and UK-based RMA should it ever need to go back.

MSI

You can get the GTX 770 Lightning for the same price as the Gigabyte above FYI. Just gotta look.

MSI or Gigabyte, I'm biased so MSI for me as I have one.

Great cooler and performer.

I've got the gainward I got a good price on it from OCUK when they are £235. Its really quiet I havent bothered overclocking as it hits 1200mhz and tried it on BF4 Ultra and smooth as silky.

What else I like is that you can pop out the fans individiually and clean them without having to dismantle the cooler, nice touch.

although notice the 2gb version is out of stock on OCUK.

Thanks for the inputs guys. Still I decided to go with the Gainward because those seem to be better overclockers and performers, although likely louder but totally bearable, from what I read.
And well, still no way for me to buy from ocuk shop, being a Belgium resident. But thanks anyway

Is AMD out of the question?

Out of those i'd go with MSI if you want looks or gainward if you want higher clock out of box. personally i'd go with msi you can always clock it yourself
