Gtx 770

[pcslookout]

Are any of the next generation graphics cards right now and in the future going to be smaller than the GTX 770 or the same size ? This is my current video card and looking for something smaller but with just as much power or more.

970 comes in smaller for factors

970/980 is as good as it gets.Replaced a Zotac 770 Amp! with my 970 and my Asus Strix is nearly the same size,runs cooler by nearly 10cel and has more memory to boot.

These days,its as good as a replacement as one can get.Asus,Gigabyte and Zotac offer all offer cards under 9''.

Except for the memory bug.

Why are brand new GTX 770 selling for so much online right now ? Weird.

Because they are last generation and supply is probably low. You can get a used one on eBay or craigslist for around $200.

Yeah, I've seen one locally for as low as $170, but whats strange is 680s are going for more. I was looking for a 680/770 to put in a Mac Pro, and the used prices for NV cards are kinda weird. Everything costs more than it seems it should. Just bought a 280x on eBay for $150 shipped. I guess its because the 960 is slower and is at $200-240, and 970 is around $330-350, so the high ender last gen cards still have a place.

I was even hoping with the 4GB memory issue used 970s would hit the market at a good price, but if any are available they are basically at retail prices.

680/770 may be in demand cause people want to go sli,and the cards as far as i can tell are no longer on the retail market.

I rather have a 680/770 over a 960 any day,so there is that too.

The 960 is the only card out there with full hardware decode of HEVC 4K video. I'm satisfied with my 770 for now, but if I played around more with 4K video I'd trade it for a 960 (especially since I don't do any gaming). HEVC decoding is very CPU-intensive today.
