Power, Sound, Temperatures, Closing Thoughts
Power consumption on the higher clocked Galaxy GTX 770 GC card is bit higher under both load and at idle, but minimally.
Interestingly, even though the Galaxy GC card uses a custom cooler that seems to be pretty effective, it does not run more quietly than the reference design. Under a full load the Galaxy card is a couple of dBA louder than the reference GTX 770 (that uses a single fan). It should be noted that the cooler used on the reference GTX 770 is nearly the same as the one used on the GTX 780 and the GTX TITAN and is EXTREMELY quiet compared to the industry standards.
Even while running overclocked base and Boost clock speeds, the cooler on the Galaxy GTX 770 GC is able to keep the GPU right at the 80C level and right on par with the what the reference design is capable of.
Closing Thoughts
My time spent testing the new Galaxy GeForce GTX 770 2GB GC graphics card was extremely pleasant and I would have no problems recommending this card to anyone looking for a GTX 770 for an upcoming system build or upgrade. NVIDIA's GK104 GPU continues to be my favorite GPU on the market and the GTX 770 brings it to more gamers at a lower cost than ever before.
The overclocked speeds on the Galaxy GC model were able to get us anywhere from 5-7% extra performance in our testing at 2560×1440 which closely matches the 6% clock speed increases. The best news is that the card is currently selling online at stores like Newegg.com and Amazon for $399 (even BestBuy.com has it for $399), the same price as the reference cards! If you need a new GPU for the upcoming fall release schedule of PC titles, then give the Galaxy GTX 770 2GB GC a look and get a free copy of Splinter Cell Blacklist as well (limited time).

Ok, a stock computer is not likely to have a 600 watt power supply. So I guess a new power supply just might be in order.

How does this compare to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card (EVGA Superclocked ACX Cooling)?
I got this card guys and
I got this card guys and running it on 1920 x 1080 its amazing so far, the FPS on 1080p is just amazing every game is maxed out with very high FPS and everything is smooth and crystal clear and to my surprise its actually very quiet too which is a very nice plus.
Highly recommended for anyone who is considering buying it, you won’t be disappointed with the performance and quality. but the only issue I encountered is that the stickers on the fans have fallen off the card( probably due to heat) although I don’t see that as a big problem as whats important is performance and stability. but just thought I’d mention it.
Good luck!
not having the same
not having the same perfection you guys are getting , got my card and its been having trouble ever since i thought it was drivers and id wait it out but i cant run games on high or ultra gw2 runs slow at low setting and heaven benchmark crashes all temps on par and have fx 8350 and corsair ram with a 1050 watt psu
anyone got any ideas
I have the card and never had
I have the card and never had any of your issues it could be the driver you are running as recent Nvidia drivers have been problematic. but I’m using the 320.49 drivers and no problems at all, if you are using a different driver I would suggest that you install this driver and see how it goes.
hope it works well for you
if it still doesn’t work, make sure you CPU isn’t bottlenecking the card or anything like that.
no such things an AMD FX 8350
no such things an AMD FX 8350 bottleneck with GTX 770 it could be your system problems.
can anyone tell me if this
can anyone tell me if this card GTX 770 better then the Galaxy GeForce GTX 660 Ti GC 3GB
