Gainward has a non-referance design pcb on its Phantom cooler design series. I have their 770 Phantom card and it is pretty amazing.

But not as performant.

Apples and pears

It still lacks other basic features. PhysX, Drivers, SLI Issues…
For a card that fills a spot i think the 770 fares great. Three AAA games are nice, but in the end its just plain useless as most gamers will already have those titles and if they haven’t they probably do not want them.

The real value here is the card, not the bundled games. At least i choose my cards based on featureset, stability, performance and price. Everything else is secondary.

Free is free ? Thats an interesting conclusion. I’d rather have features like PhysX and better Drivers alongside the better overall performance.

Since almost all tests conclude the GTX770 is faster than the 7970 and 680 even if just by a small margin, for the same price i would always choose it over the AMD card.

Better for SLI as well -> refering to the drivers again. Oh and did i forget the terrible noise those AMD cards produce (mostly). My colleague at work suffers from that too and he hates it.

Price and performance-wise as well as feature set based no one with a clear head could get a 7970 over the 770. The only reason i could imagine is having a 7970 already and CFing them now.

Everyone else is better off with the 770. Funny to see how nVidia is playing the price/performance competitor for AMD now. Usually AMD cards give a better performance to price ratio.

Good for either AMD Fans and/or owners as prices will likely drop now.

Just too bad AMD drivers are shit and multi GPU isnt working as it should.

Sold my 7970 CF because of massive stuttering and framerunts, went 770 SLI and it works GREAT in all my games.

CF hasnt worked right since Tahiti launch, AMD promises a fix in a month or so, but its just 1 year and 8 months late. And lets see if the fix is working at all… Its a major problem.

On top of that.. My Asus DCII 770 SLI is much quieter under load than my 2x Sapphire 7970 Dual-X cards. Especially after OC…

So free (cheap) games at the cost of load noise, driver issues etc. Nah…

I cannot believe this is a stock version , guy’s for 10$ u get an insane amount of performance or even 20$ in some case’s! for MUCH beter coolign + SPEED from MSI / asus / evga those card’s are incredibly faster over clocked and without it too! So it beat’s the GTX 7970 IN EVERYTHING! 7970 get’s extremly hot , and overcloking it would be a killer in a short run yet the 770 iS VERY LOW TEMP’s not overclocked and overclocked it’s temps are MUCH LESS then the 7970 , if you buy the ASUS / MSI /EVGA card’s with the custome cooling solution

Even if you weren’t going to buy the games. Free is free. I got Bioshock Infinite. I was never gonna buy it, but I fucking love the game.

If you were going to buy those games anyways then yes, you should factor that in.

Sucks major balls. I was going to SLI two of them…might just go with a single 780 now, much cheaper.
