It is replacing the year-old GTX 680 at the same price point, while delivering some extra oomph, both are good things. Overall we are impressed with Gainward's GTX 770 Phantom offering, and for would be GTX 680 buyers it's a welcomed option.

The nVidia GTX 770 might not quite have the showmanship of the 780, but it is better value for money. It offers strong gaming performance without being extortionately priced. The 2GB memory is a small concern as this may look a little dated two years hence. For use with games today and over the next year or so, though, it's likely to remain a compelling choice.

With speedy performances and an effective cooling system, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 breezes its way to a five-star review. However, we can't help feeling that Nvidia could have done more with this card as, in practice, it's essentially just an...

The GeForce GTX 770 is a surprise performer for me since you're getting speeds that are not too far off the much more expensive GeForce GTX 780 at a price point of $399. It's a great card that's built well and quiet to boot. With features such as PhysX...

If you upgraded to a GTX 670 last year, the GTX 770 isn't going to be enough of a jump to justify a new card. If, however, you're still back on a midrange GTX 500 card, the GTX 770 is worth consideration. It's slightly higher price point is justified by...

It would be easy to feel disappointed by the GTX 770, given the huge leap in performance of its bigger brother, the GTX 780, over its predecessor. But, with an MSRP of £329, viewed in pure performance per pound terms it’s actually a most excellent...

The GTX 770 does all you could ask of a new second-tier graphics card. It is at once quicker and cheaper than both the top-tier single-GPU cards of the previous generation.

In terms of performance, the 104MHz factory overclock makes sense if you are into 2560x1600 gaming, but even at reference clocks the GTX 770 has plenty of muscle for 1080p. The Phantom is rolling out today and it costs a bit more than reference cards. The first listings put the price at 440 euro.

And that’s why we’re bestowing Tom's Hardware's Smart Buy award on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 770. Although high-end graphics cards are still expensive, we’re happy to get more performance in a better-built package for $100 less than what we could buy a year ago in GeForce GTX 680.

The GTX 670 is a bit faster?and a bit more expensive?than Nvidia's previous card in this segment.

The GTX 770 will also affect NVIDIA's own lineup. The GTX 680 is suddenly completely undesirable at its current price, and I would buy the GTX 770 over the GTX 670 any day, as long as the GTX 670 remains at a $370 price point, but even "last-generation" GTX 600 Series cards could become an interesting buy if NVIDIA pulls off price reductions...

The performance of the GeForce GTX 770 is nothing to complain about, in fact at 1920x1200 this might be the best card for the money if you are looking for some brute horsepower in the high-end segment. Overall definitely recommended if you are on the lookout for nice upgrade over say the GTX 500 series.
