GTX770 Review

The 770 is so much better than the 680, these are not high binned 680s, they are just the ones that come off a more refined production line so they just perform better overall.

It is a rebadged 680 that does a lot better and is a lot cheaper.


Actually they are high binned GK104's. But its not a 680 is it. Otherwise you could say the 670 is just a low binned 680.

All this rebadged BS is just people that dont understand shit about business and technology.
 

It does not come with a fancy cooler but it does get 4gb of ram.

Mine will be green :)

This is the 780m, so same chip as the 770 actually. Also with turbo boost 2.0.

Why not just buy a branded version, the cooler will be at least as good if not better.

Are aesthetics that important?

EDIT:// Sorry I just realised you were actually referring to the 780m all along and not the 770m. Fail on my part, my apologies!

The chip may be physically the same but the GTX 770m has a lot less cores than the GTX 770.

GTX 770 = 1,536 Cores
GTX 770m = 768 Cores

The two cards will perform completely differently. Only the GTX 780m has 1,536 cores active. But that too is lower than the desktop GTX 780 which has 2,304 cores.

You cannot compare the desktop to the mobile parts because it's not just clocks that are different it is also the core count and the mobile editions do not correspond to the desktop parts in performance at all. Everything sort of "steps down" one with the desktop GTX 770 becoming the mobile GTX 780m etc

I think he is saying that the 780m is comparable to the 770. They are similar in the core, but the clocks on the 780m are a lot lower than the 770 so the performance will reflect that. Now, if you manage to overclock the 780m to the desktop clocks you'd get a good chunk of performance, but that will be hard...

I have overclocked my 670m to just over 800 MHz, comparable to the 560 that is based on the same chip, but at that point the VRM is quite overloaded and the voltage has drooped from 900 to 867mV, not something to be running 24/7.

You are right and I apologise, I read his post as 770m and didn't see that he was actually referring to the 780m all along. My post is thus completely redundant haha
 
Yeah, yet to see a 4GB 770M (considering it has a 192bit bus that would be a bit odd when 3GB makes more sense).

I am the person who took a 680M from 720/1800 to 1180/2650 for benchmarking and 1033/2600 for 24/7. I am sure i'll cope with the 780M.
 
Ok and that's even slower than 2500mhz? Honestly no point in in getting high end gaming laptops when a evenly priced PC will destroy it.
 
I was quoting the memory chip speed so thats 6ghz data rate and 7ghz respectively. Its the same ram as the 690 basically.
 
What are you on about, I am saying the 780M will be clocked at 5ghz stock, is rated for 6ghz and will reach 7ghz or maybe a bit more which is the same as the 770 desktop.

You can also bring up the core clock like I said, I could run my 680M at 1033mhz and be completely game stable so it would never throttle at all even when left at 100% load.

Since the cooling on the new MSI is improved I should be able to hit 1050mhz core and 7ghz on the memory pretty reliably so that if you had the notebook and a desktop with the 770 in it you would not be able to tell the difference on a monitor side by side.
