Introduction

Last month, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 770 launched with great success. Based on the same GK104 GPU and using the same specs as the GTX 680, we've seen the card provide high-quality gaming at reasonable pricing. The biggest changes are the inclusion of Boost 2.0 and faster memory chips, which certainly helps with performance.



Today, we are reviewing the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 770. It comes at reference design clocks and price, but uses a large dual-fan cooler to optimize temperatures.

The Card

I really like Zotac's new dual-fan cooler. Its black matte metal looks stylish, and the orange fans transport the company's identity without looking out of place. Dimensions of the card are 27 x 11.5 cm.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include two DVI ports, one HDMI port, and one DisplayPort. You may use all outputs at the same time, so triple-monitor surround gaming is possible with one card.

The GPU also includes an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 1.4a compatible, which includes HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies support.


Two SLI connectors are available, allowing you to combine up to four GTX 770 cards in a Quad-SLI, multi-GPU configuration.
