Saw this on OC looks like a great deal and if I was in the market for a good 1080p card this would be top of the list.!
"Geforce GTX 770 Gaming Edition OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card"
MSI's Gaming Edition GTX 770 looks absolutely stunning with the black and red styling. The cooling is the latest Twin FrozR design which is designed to not only reduce temperatures further but also noise levels as well. So you can enjoy the latest games such as Titanfall with smooth frame rates and in complete silence too.
Immerse yourself in an ultra-smooth gaming experience with exciting new NVIDIA technology advancements like NVIDIA Adaptive Vertical Sync. It’s a fast, seamless way to adjust VSync to your current frame rates for maximum playability.

- New 28nm process means cooler, quieter and far superior overclocking potential than previous generation graphics cards
Which would be better for 1080p gaming, this or a MSi gtx 960 2gb which is £160 at Amazon? I have an i5 4690k and a budget of around £200 to spend on the GPU. Any suggestions?

Depends on your powers supply. The 960 will be more power efficent.

Overclockers also selling the 780 gaming edition for £179.99, 970 similar performance :smiley: If you could stretch to 240 they have the 780ti which performs close to the 980. All 3 will trump at 1080p!

TBH if you want to spend 200 quid.... add in a little more and get a 970 instead.

The GTX 770 is the more powerful card, the GTX 960 will get better driver support over a longer period.

Do you need GPU processing in your software, is it something you'll take advantage of? and does it support CUDA? If not get a much cheaper card and invest the money in a RAM upgrade and faster storage such as an SSD. Also check out this thread, which is 4 years old but still relevant info >

An SSD can save time, especially if you're a heavy user, every second lost adds up and if you're working saving/loading files it will save time.
