The people you talked to are idiots. The evga 770 is a amazing gpu. The problem is its not cheap. You could get something much cheaper with same performance. A 670 or 7950 would be as others say here better bang for buck

Are you talking to AMD fanboi's by any chance?

The EVGA GTX 770 is a great GPU and at a good price too.

It is more powerful that any of the AMD GPU's and will last you for a long long time..

EVGA are also a great manufacturer with a great cooler design and a long warranty period..

To be honest if you came to me and said "I have £350 for a GPU what do i do?" i'd say get a EVGA GTX 770.

Let me re-phrase that "current single AMD GPU's".

That would still be wrong 7970ghz are about equal.

And £100 cheaper.

Just called my friend an idiot and brought the card. Thanks for the advice. One question those is that i see there are cards like Gigabyte and lighting and Superclock, which one do i get as there are lost to choose from.

Suarez7 · 12 Sep 2013 at 18:56

That post doesn't make sense, you say you've already bought the card then ask which one to get?

No problem, will you be overclocking the card?

The MSI Lightning is the best 770 imo,but EVGA is a great choice too. Also the 770 lightning is faster then the 7970 GHz too

Overclocked 7970's pull ahead of overclocked 770's.

Yeah all the other 770's but not the 770 lightning. Google is your friend.
