Wow..... these 770's are amazing cards.
They destroy the 680's and are cheaper to boot.
Nice review.

Shame about that voltage lock.
By the way, you might want to re-proofread the Conclusion.

You're looking at it the wrong way. It's 7fps more than a 680 for $50-$100 less than a 680.
And in other games, the difference is much more significant (BF3 being 15-30fps more).

Yup...... I could buy a 770 4 gig for 460.00 and the cheapest 680 4 gig is 519.00.
If there was not a 2nd 680 4 gig in the mail right now..... I would be selling my 680 and getting two of these. Well I would probably wait for the 4 gig version of the ASUS card in this review.

Cheaper in the US too, $450 + shipping.
In terms of bang/buck, this is one of the best NVIDIA has released in a while.

For the 2GB or 4GB version? I was talking about the 4GB when I said $450.

I expect the 4gb to settle in the 400-425 range and i expect to see 2gb versions settling around 350-375. i could be wrong but to me it seems we should look at these as a more like a re-branding and expect prices of a re-brand to follow.
im glad they out perform the 680s but so did the 9800gt over the 8800gts even tho they were very similar. and the 9800gt was cheaper on the 2nd rebrand.
thats my theory i could be off by a mile.

As a new release always should
The 7xxx series in nvidia made the 6xxx series obsolete.
Just like the 2xx series obsoleted the 8800/9800 lineups.
The only time you run into stagnancy is when they rebrand which feels like a sin to me tbh.
Say all you want about amd but I've never seen amd re-brand which is probably why they some how amazingly caught up to nvidia in tech. which in all reality from the acquisition of ATI to now should have not happened except nvidia has now re-branded 3x since that time including the 770 ofc. i include the 4xx/5xx series as a sort of re-brand as all they were is die shrinks to fix heat issues imho.

AMD rebrands too, moreso at the lower end. The 6770 was a 5770 rebrand, to name one.

AMD also rebranded the 7xxx series as the 8xxx OEM series, and (presumably) is going to release a different non-OEM 8xxx series later for their new architecture.
Point being, I don't think you can really hold it against either company.

Mobile both companies rebrand like crazy, desktop AMD rebrands mid range and some low end, sometimes. Desktop nvidia often rebrands to pretty epic levels, though sometimes they're more sedate about it. It's part of the game, really.
There isn't room for another gk110 between the 780 and the 680 though, and they're all Kepler anyway. I don't have an issue with it personally.
Lv would you mind checking the markings on the core MOSFETs and posting them? Is like to see what sort of MOSFETs those are.
