haha i think i will retire AA also when i shoot up 1600p

im happy with 1080p atm, prolly when 4K is mainstream then only i jump ship

maybe year 2020

doesnt matter, will wait!

Just to share the performance of MSI Lightning GTX 770 after playing a few games since my purchase. Some latest games such as Tomb Raider and Metro Last Light require SSAA to be turned off to get 60 FPS.

* All games are tested and played on 1600p resolution.

Sorted alphabetically:

ANNO 2070 - All settings maxed.

Bioshock Infinite - All settings maxed.

Dead Island: Riptide - All settings maxed.

Dead Pool - All settings maxed.

Dead Space 3 - All settings maxed. V-Sync turned off.
For somewhat strange reason I also have poor performance when turning on V-Sync in Dead Space series. Turning it off makes this game reached 60 FPS all the time. Turning it on would make the frame rate suffer. Though it doesn't result in noticable screen tearing.

* Turning on V-Sync will lock the FPS to 30 due to the glitch inherited from Dead Space 2. It is probably due to console port.

Metro Last Light - All setting maxed except SSAA.
Again, FPS 60 without SSAA

Remember Me - All settings maxed except SSAA.

Resident Evil - Revelations - All settings maxed.

Resident Evil 6 - All settings maxed.

Tomb Raider - All setting maxed except setting Anti-Aliasing to FXAA instead of SSAA.
I must say that the graphic quality is simply stunning! Setting it to use FXAA makes the game reach FPS 60 almost all the time.

To sum it all up, this card really is worth the money for the performance that you can get. However you may noticed that SSAA is not really recommended when running a single card solution. To be frank, you wouldn't really noticed the difference much when gaming on 1600p or above even with or without SSAA.

+1

you suddenly made me have the urge to go for a U3011M..

Personally, gaming on 1600p is good for action/adventure/FPS type games and making you immerse in it. However it is not so good for strategy games like ANNO series. The text is just way too small and your eyes will just wandering off the screen all the time just to navigate.

Oh just to add on, the reason that turning on V-Sync on Dead Space 3 result in a locked 30 FPS is due to the glitch inherited from Dead Space 2 (bad console port perhaps).

haha didnt you said you want 2 wait till 2020 4 the 4k become cheaper

by then should be mainstream mah





i think

haha ok

here another poison 4 you 2 kill with

the new U3014

And there I was expecting to have 60fps and tear-free image.

and to my surprise it locked to 30fps.

yucks.....feels like dejavu to another game.

How reliable is Zotac brand? I'm in between Zotac 770 Amp! 2Gb, Zotac 770 4Gb or MSI 770 Lightning 2Gb. I found that Zotac is cheaper.

I am running in 2 monitor setup but only 1 is for gaming.

Previously I bought Gigabyte but always got problem with the broken fan.

No difference as far as that
However,Lightning have optimized PCB and cooler for better OC(YMMY as core itself still play biggest factor)

but it's price so pricey...btw i like their use "Lightning" ( i can hear thunder )

Personally i can't justify paying the difference as the price gap is just plain silly

When u are gaming at 1440p or 1600p u do not need to much AA for example u are gaming at 1080p than u need high AA maybe in games like Far cry 3 u must need at least MSAA at 4x on 1080p to cleat out jaggies and blur.In 1440p or 1600p there not much jaggies because of high texture thats why u need less AA in higher res.

670 is good, but the price is too......
