Not sure if it's nvdia fault cuz the new driver introducing txaa and lots of other improvement. As far as I know only enbseries v0.182 support it so it's the enb's fault here.
Also even thought gtx 680 using the same gk104 architecture it performs lower than gtx 770 by 10%-15% not to mention gtx 770 have higher bandwidth, higher clock rate, better energy consumption --> higher OC etc etc. But what sold me was the 4gb vram and super coolers that come with it.
I got mine from Gigabyte @ stock OC'ed 1136Mhz core clock and 7Ghz mem clock, tweaked it a bit and now I'm enjoying gtx 770 @ 1241Mhz core clock and 8Ghz mem clock.
gtx680 is the exact same chip, same bandwidth, same clocks.. (only the gtx780 has a wider memory bus, gtx770 has not, it's still 256bit) the gtx770 is just overclocked while gtx680 is not... I have clocked mine to just under 1.3Ghz and mem 7Ghz for stability... can go a little higher for a benchmark, but I don't think that is a realistic OC. I have 4GB VRAM as well.. GTX770 is not available here with 4GB VRAM... my country is kinda behind on s***
And since I care little for other games, and enjoy ENB, and it being mega discounted, it was an easy pick.
Not exactly right, stock clock, rated boost speed and memory bandwidth are improved on gtx 770, you call it OC nvidia calls it fine tuned. Personally I prefer a fine tuned card that comes out just now with tons of support than something from last year which got lots of problem lately. You can easily find reviews for it anywhere online, or here http://gpuboss.com/g...GeForce-GTX-680 for example. The new 320.xx drivers are tailored specifically for gtx 770 and gtx 780 as well that's why so many people with 600 series having problems/ glitches/ crashes while I haven't gotten any issues.
As for OC mine is perfectly fine for everyday use as long as the temperatures are around 75-80C under maximum load that's why the cooling system on the card is important. Just under 1.3Ghz??? For real 1241Mhz cuz that is the maximum safe clock the gk 104 can go, heck even radeon 7970 rarely go over 1275Mhz. I wouldn't want to fried my graphic card just to squeeze out a couple more % performance.
That's why right now I'm really curious in your settings to OC that high. What's your OC program? Your mem clock? Voltage locked or unlocked and how much? And most importantly what's your peak temperature?
