Think TS might have hardware acceleration issues. Might be part of the problem.

Drivers between 16.7.3-16.11.4 all have H.264 encoding/decoding broken.

Tell me when it's Asus.

Should stop hard selling your used graphic card here.

I will still get a cheap GTX1050ti or GTX1060 3GB over a GTX770. Brand new vs old that has 1 month warranty left with just a little more top up. Doesn't matter if it's a Asus directcu or so, i also sell my Asus directcuII and honestly, most people do not care. They just want a card within their price range.

Of cos if TS can't go further than $200, then your GTX770 is another option he can look at.


And once again, don't hard sell your card here. It's consider as adv.

680=770 +/- 960 +/- 1050 Ti.
If TS wants a drop in replacement, probably 1050/RX460 will be a good choice considering PCS 7850 is a pitcairn than a PCS 7870 myst tahiti chip (cut down 7970).

But value buy wise will be 1060 3GB.

I'm not hard selling, nor trying to push anything. I'm trying to make a point to at least have a fair comparison. Period.

I did, however, edit my post to try to explain my point.

"Don't expect a flagship Samsung Phone to sell at the same price as a flagship Oppo phone. Even with similar hardware specs, surely the Samsung phone will be sold at a higher price in the second hand market.

So when doing comparison please at least compare Samsung to LG. and not "You must be joking, an old used Samsung phone so expensive? Top up a bit more can get a brand new Oppo flagship phone"

Problem is i can get an asus gtx970 2nd hand with longer warranty close to that price point.

Using your anology if i can get note 6 at 250 with longer warranty or note 5 at 220 with 1 month warranty, most people will go for the former.

I did mention prices are negotiable. No point listing at the lowest price you can go, and get bargained down even further.

I'm not.

I'm selling at this price because of the brand. If this is some random Palit / Leadtek / Weird unknown brands, i would have priced it below $200.

Please also note the GTX770 has about 90% the performance of a GTX1050Ti based on benchmarks. A new Asus GTX1050Ti price is as follows

1) Strix 1050Ti = $329
2) Expedition 1050Ti = $289
3) DUAL 1050Ti = $269

Of course, the 1050Ti has 4GB memory while my 770 only has 2GB. That's the catch. And yes I did mention prices are negotiable. Because I'm sick of encountering low ballers.

The GTX 770 has the same core as a GTX 680, albeit with a higher clock.

A GTX 690 has two GTX 680 cores and 2 X 2 GB VRAM, essentially GTX 680 SLI in one card. That was sold recently for $240, which is only slightly higher than the $230 you are asking for. The GTX 690 came with a free brand new mini-DP cable ($25 cost).

I grant you that the Asus GTX 770 has a very good cooler. The GTX 690 came with an Arctic Accelero 690 custom cooler which is much better. The stock 690 cooler has vapor chamber tech which is already better than the Asus DirectCU cooler and the Arctic Accelero 690 beat the stock cooler by around 10 to 15C.

No matter how you look at it, the Asus GTX 770 is overpriced at $230.

You can sell the Asus GTX 770 for whatever price you like. However, if you try to convince a noob that it is a good buy, you can expect fellow HWZers to respond.

I agree. Chances of failing for that old gpu is higher because of the age too.

I rather buy a new gpu than get that old gtx770.

Hmm.. So if comparison between GTX470,570,670,770,970,1070 is not a fair comparison, what is? Comparing between a GTX 680 and GTX260 is a fair comparison?


At least I'm trying to compare between 2 products of similar performance and brand and sell at a slightly lower price point.

Lol, if I am indeed trying to convince a noob to buy, I would have painted a nicer story to cheat that person. Why slap myself and compare with a GTX1050Ti that has better performance? I could have said my GTX770 can easily grind his old 7850 to dust.

I think I should sell my GTX770 at $1. Makes everything in the market looks overpriced. A GTX970 for $10? Overpriced.

  • APIs: DX12 support in 1000 series GTX and RX 400 series.
  • Driver support: Current gens benefit from targeted driver optimisation. Not last gen APIs and sidelined driver support for legacy products.
  • Media usage wise:the 1000 series NVENC already supports HEVC decoding, RX 400 series UVD 7 also than the dated decoding engines.
  • HDR displays wise: Both RX 400 and GTX 1000 series support HDR colour space/displays

Take the used and obsolete 770 overclocked 680 (kepler) out of this thread really. :s22:

Fyi, all GTX cards from 400 series and above supports Direct X 12 APIs.

2) As long as Nvidia GeForce experience is installed, drivers are updated automatically. Sideline Legacy drivers? This ain't GeForce 2 MX. Technically all past generations GPUs are already considered as Legacy. Yes, that includes the mighty 980Ti.

As usual. I'm just a simple person posting a simple reply, people coming in the whack me down.

Actually it depends. Simple people like me as long as can run 60fps at max settings can liao. I don't go into too technical into such details. Since I started gaming I have never ever bothered about Direct X, Open GL etc..

Sure, if you actually sell it for $1 instead of just using your mouth.

really bro your 770 is overpriced

the 770 performs around 1050 level and we can get 1050 for $159 now

http://www.lazada.sg/palit-geforce-gtx-1050-stormx-2gb-gddr5-graphics-card-9975625.html

sure its not asus but it will run cooler and faster (maybe in newer game) then the 770. and brand new condition and warranty too

who will wanna buy a 3 year old card with one mth warranty for $230 when they can save $70 and get a card that runs better, better driver support and 3 years warranty :s22:

if really wanna compare asus to asus we can get asus 1050 for $239, which imo is not worth for a card like 1050
