Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WINDFORCE 3X GV-N770OC-4GD: Under the hood
The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WINDFORCE 3X GV-N770OC-4GD graphics accelerator card is a perfect blend of the latest
hardware and software technology available for an extreme gamer. The NVIDIA Kepler GPU at the core and the GPU Boost 2.0
technology in the GV-N770OC-4GD enhances the graphics rendering by increasing the frame rates, taking the performance to
its maximum. The GPU Base Clocking Rate is 1137MHz and the Boost Clocking Rate is 1189 MHz, which significantly improves
the performance. Equipped with NVIDIA PhysX, images and videos are rendered with extreme levels of real-world life-like
details.
The Gigabyte OC GURU II, a monitoring software, is a promising enhancement offering a simpler user interface. The software
helps in managing the GPU and the memory clock, the fan speed, GPU voltage, Memory voltage, On Screen Display and update
the necessary driver and the BIOS if needed.
Thermal Cooling Enhancements
Greater clock speeds and fan speeds means greater heat generation. The specially designed WINDFORCE 3X 2-SLOT 450W Cooling
System is an assembly of 3 patented WINDFORCE silent cool fans fitted in a metal cover. Its unique 'Triangle Cool'
technology and the intricate design helps suppress heat, thus increasing performance. The heat dissipation system uses
three ultra quiet PWM fans and only 2-slot height heatsink. Two 8mm and four 6mm copper heat pipes and a high-performance
RAM heatsink make the integral part of the unique cooling system. The innovative thermal design guarantees heat
dissipation capability to over 450watt.
Memory Management
Higher clock speeds and increased frame rates/sec place demand higher memory consumption. The higher the memory, the
greater the performance. The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WINDFORCE 3X GV-N770OC-4GD handles this by its robust and reliable
memory management system. Embedded with the GDDR5 4B high-performance dynamic RAM, the GDDR5 offers data transfer rate
upto 4 times faster than it's predecessor GDDR4.
Connectivity and Display
The GV-N770OC-4GD features the DVI-I and the DVI-D connector ports, 1 HDMI port to connect to the TV and a DisplayPort.
The DVI-I supports both the analog and digital display, while the DVI-D supports only the digital display. The GV-N770OC-
4GD supports 3-way SLI allowing a user to use 4 graphics cards in parallel, primarily for the graphics rendering. The 3-
way SLI follows a distributed rendering task among the cards alternately, thus delivering superfine image quality. A point
worth noting while scaling the GeForce GTX 770 SLI is that the configuration of the GPUs have to match. For example, if
you already have a GV-N770OC-4GD plugged in and you wish to add another graphics card, then it has to be a GV-N770OC-4GD
Conclusion
To summarize, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WINDFORCE 3X GV-N770OC-4GD with the blend of NVIDIA Kepler GPU, GPU Boost 2.0,
the SLI and the PhysX enabled, makes it a stand out in the gaming industry and is a recommended piece of hardware for all
the die-hard gamers. It is priced at $459.99 plus shipping. The accessories shipped with the GV-N770OC-4GD are two power
cables, one 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe and a dual power 4-pin Molex power cable. The setup guide and the driver CD are also
provided. Happy gaming!
