If you are talking about PC gaming, you have no way to ignore the brand Nvidia. They were producing innovative GPUs for several decades for us to enjoy awesome gaming experience. On last May 30th they announced a brand new GeForce GTX 770 GPU with lots of promising features as well as price tag. Let’s go and take a look.
New Features in GeForce GTX 770
Faster Memory
Gaming is all about how hast your hardware renders it. So you need a GPU with much faster memory and GTX 770 knows that. It comes with 7 Gbps DDR5 memories, the fastest in the world. Standard memory size is 2 GB or it could be increased in to 4 GB depending on manufacture.
More CUDA cores
Nvidia is very popular for their CUDA architecture for ultimate parallel processing. GTX 770 comes with 1536 CUDA cores and that’s equal to previous GTX 680. That’s a lots of processing cores. Gamers and even video editors would love this.
Cool and Quite
With all these performance GTX 770 still operates with much lesser temperature and noise compared to its predecessors. In order to achieve this Nvidia is keeping fan speed fluctuation to a minimum level with Adaptive temperature controller.
Software Enhancement
All these hardware goodness is backed up with very powerful software. GPU Boost 2.0 is increasing CPU clock whenever system is demanding more processing power as long as the cooling system can handle the heat. In addition it has 3D vision, Adaptive V-Sync, PhysX etc supporting software to make it even more powerful.
Cheaper
Here we are talking about GPU sitting between GTX 680 and GTX TITAN. So you must be thinking that price also would be the same. Surprisingly it’s not!
GTX 680 (2 GB): $499
GTX 770 (2 GB): $399
GTX TITAN: $999
GTX 770 packs all the goodness in GTX 680 and little bit more, yet price tag is $100 lesser. It doesn’t need a genius to say that this is an awesome deal.
Finally
GTX 770 is only an incremental upgrade. It’s still using Kepler architecture. What they have done is pack up more CUDA cores, faster memory and better cooling fan with unbelievable price tag. For sure it will work like magic for any gaming or video applications.
Once this comes in to market you won’t have any reason to buy a GTX 670 or 680.
