got my gtx770 today Zotac amp edition....when overclocked it bests a gtx780 http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphi...ition/?page=11

Nice
Can't wait to see what the EVGA can do

Apparently theres not much headroom on the standard cards for overclocking, that's why i got the overclocked version as you can clock these much higher than standard cards......went to apply Afterburner to overclock mine and it was all at zero?.....so i used the Zotac overclocking utility....got mine at 1180mhz gpu....1860mhz memory ....Boost 1232mhz.....standard is 1150mhz gpu....memory 1800mhz......boost 1202mhz....i could go higher but that will do me.....never touched the voltage.....temps playing bf3 on ultra 65c oc ....idle 29c

Well, my EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SuperClocked with ACX Cooler should be here tomorrow..

[Lloyd_mcse]

Amazing, all installed.
I did have problems with that bloody 320.18 driver again! This time it wouldn't recognize there was an NVIDIA card installed!
I'll run some benchmarks in a bit, I need something to eat. It's taken me since 5pm to fit it as I had to keep dusting, and I can still see dust in the pictures lol

[Ya Mother]

You using afterburner?.......heres what mine looks like lol

[Lloyd_mcse]

Nice. No, I've installed EVGA's Precision 4.2 atm
These are the default clocks on the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclock ACX..

[Lloyd_mcse]

I'm wondering what kind of performance increase I will get with the ASUS Z87 Sabertooth's PCI-E 3.0 as this ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE only has PCI-E 2.0, we will see..

[Ya Mother]

Dont think theres much difference between 2.0 and 3.0 gaming wise, as i looked at this as a way to convince me to upgrade a while back.

[Lloyd_mcse]

LOL
I've got my Sabertooth and 4770k getting here tomorrow
See what that's like, can't wait lol

[Ya Mother]

[Lloyd_mcse]

Yeah it's Sandybridge mate.

[Ya Mother]
