Guild Wars 2

Hi,I want to buy new PC with core i7,but I don´t know which graphic card(HD 7970 or GTX 770)is better for GW2. Do you have any experience with that?

check out this site I found yesterday – http://gpuboss.com/

It compares benchmarks and features of video cards. Surprisingly the 660ti beat out the 760, and the 770 was only marginally faster. 780 and Titan ruled the charts.

this is a wish list I’ve been putting together for my next computer – I grabbed a bunch of the best low cost gtx cards to compare prices and features – devise different price point computer build designs – http://amzn.com/w/AIJUZVJNMG13

also, if you decide on the GTX line, be sure to compare the different manufacturers who make it …for instance a gtx 770 from msi, may have completely different specs and features than a gigabyte, asus, or pny – at times extremely different specs.

For a website that believes the GTX 760Ti will exist, I’m not sure I would take whatever gpuboss is offering at face value. The GTX 760Ti simply does not exist and likely will never exist according to what Nvidia has said about the 700 series.

760 is the replacement for 660ti basically same gpu with higher bandwidth if I’m not mistaken. and 760(ti) for that reason is not going to be released because whole line is the revisioned 6xx series. (except 780 its cut titan)

As for OP’s question from what I have seen 7970 is better than 680 so is 770 I dont think there is so much difference between them apart from price. You could go with either cards but if you are into recording stuff nvidia is releasing something called nVidia Shadow Play which will use kepler’s h.264 hardware to record games without causing fps loss. It should have been released 25th of June but still no news regarding that. You might wanna take that into account.

I just checked the page on the 760 ti – and to their defense, they have a “rumored” next to it and guestimated the stats heh! http://gpuboss.com/graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-760-Ti

from the benchmarks though, it seems the 760 was a disaster – plus it goes for the same price as the 660 ti on amazon.com- so I suppose that’s a good reason it’s not coming out lol

Graphics cards won’t make much of a difference. GTX 650 TI / AMD Radeon HD 7770/7790 and up will get like max graphics.
The game is more CPU heavy but 7970 and GTX 770 are both great. I’d personally go with a 7970. I got two of them and the are faaaaabulooouuussss

I see quite a different story from gpuboss…according to their stats the GTX 660Ti does better in benchmarking, but this is a forum for gaming. In the tests for gaming, the GTX 760 does better and costs less according to gpuboss.

@OP
Either card (GTX 770 and HD 7970) are overkill for this game. However, you mentioned that you’ll be getting an i7, hopefully you’ll be getting one capable of some serious overclocking if you want to have decent frame rates in large WvW battles. If I had to purchase one GPU or the other, I would toss my money at Nvidia simply because it’s what I have been doing since the 7xxx series oh so long ago, prior to that I was AMD.

Personally I’ll be skipping the 7xx series and waiting for Maxwell to come out and see what Nvidia does with the ARM CPU that will be on board with everything else you would expect with a normal GPU.

So if you are saying both graphic cards are great, it doesn´t matter which one I will choose
Thanks people:)
