Question 1

There was no redemption code for the games within the box. Still advertising it as coming with "3 free games". False advertising. Messaged Newegg for the code, may have to return and purchase elsewhere if they don't honor their ad... Anyone else having this issue?

Accepted Answer

Its the holidays so their customer service is swamped atm. Not sure when you bought it but the same thing happened with me. It took them a while but they did get back to me on when I made a support ticket and have sent me the redemption codes since.

Question 2

Whats the difference between this OC2 and the OC version?

Accepted Answer

The OC2, as the name implies, has a higher factory overclock.  The standard OC looks like it has 1059 core clock with 1111 boost.  The OC2 is 1150 core and 1202 boost.  To the best of my knowledge the hardware is the same and the OC should be able to be clocked up to the same values, the OC2 just basically has it all done for you straight out of the box so there's no tweaking to be done.  I'm also fairly sure the OC2 is just about maxed out as far as the overclocking headroom of the stock hardware so you probably won't be able to push it much beyond that without things becoming unstable.  This is a pretty strong card so unless you're running lots of monitors over 1080p res, either should probably be sufficient.  Given the price points being the same I'd opt (as I did) for the OC2, throw it in your tower, game on and never look back.  Loving it so far.  Payday 2 maxed with everything but Anisotropic filtering (had to scale it back to 8x from 16).  A quick note though, only the Arkham Origins game comes as a redeemable Steam code.  The other 2 (Assassins' Creed IV and Splinter Cell Blacklist) have to be redeemed through Ubisoft's UPlay shenanigans.

Question 3

Can I run two of these in SLI and have headroom to overclock CPU, RAM, etc? My power supply is Corsair AX 860i Platinum.

My RIG:

SLI GTX 770's
Gigabyte UD4H Z87 MB
Intel 4770k
Corsair H105 Water Coole
16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600MHz Ram (4x4 Sticks)
4 Corsair Fans
2 SSDS

Accepted Answer

I don't see the SLI being a problem but I haven't tried to overclock anything. I do have to mention that I'm having serious problems playing Sims 3 with this card (the land beneath all buildings is invisible).

Question 4

Hey guys, I built a rig about 6 months ago and have been steadily adding to it, making it into a higher end rig, and I am currently running two 650ti boost s.c. from EVGA, whom I have had most of my gpu's from and have always really liked. Now, I have a question with the 2 in sli I can play almost every game out that I have on max settings, ultra, and or high on a 2560x1080 monitor wanted to know if this card could handle the same or if it would be close enough? because I am wanting one card for less heat and better power

Accepted Answer

Ok, your two sli'ed gpu's will be more powerful than this one GTX 770. The 650 ti's are fantastic cards on their own and sli'd you have something equivalent to a 690 or better. The only way I can think of for you to get what you want is to get a GTX 780ti. The only downside to that is the cost (close to a grand). I'd stick with your 650's and just keep them until the 780 drops in price or something better comes out. I can only see a reason to upgrade if you've been having issues with heat and freezes and warnings and such.
Just my two cents, I recommend asking others so you can get a cultured opinion on the matter. Good luck on your build!

Specs:
8GB DDR3 Ripjaw Ram
i5-3570k
GTX-770 PNY
(I can run BF4 on ultra with about 45-50 frames on larges game modes, just a comparison point)

Question 5

Why does this GTX 770 not come with the free NVIDIA games?

Accepted Answer

It does/did come with the free games, but the give away was limited quantity... all stores were given a number of scratch card.

A sweet deal, but the card is sweet too and for the price.  I paid more and it is down to 399.99, 25 less than what I paid. I'm still happy.

Question 6

Will I be able to run this with a 520w seasonic fanless power supply?  I am trying to make a quiet build but I would like this graphics card.  Thanks for the help.

Accepted Answer

Really depends what else you have hooked up to it. In short, I would say no because the minimum requirement  us 600w. This is why with today's machines I always tell my friends if you want to build a good gaming rig, invest in at least an 800w power supply. So you need either a bigger psu or get a weaker video card.  This one is a bit on the extreme side.

Question 7

So how good is this card? And is it worth the money? It seems fast but is it? How well can it run new games like Rust, or an older game such as CSGO, or the forest?

Accepted Answer

I believe it is worth the money if you have the extra money.  I play different kinds of video games on an off line with no problem.

Question 8

Hello, I was wondering if this card would be compatible with the card i have currently installed in my pc (for SLI purposes)?

EVGA 04G-P4-2686-KR GeForce GTX 680 w/ Backplate 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
 Thanks!

Accepted Answer

No nicely, I think there would be a lot of finagling to get it to work right.

Question 9

Does this card support multiple monitors?  How many?  Is any special hardware required to configure 4 monitors?

Accepted Answer

It supports 4 monitors with the geforce experience/graphics drivers installed; but the monitors can be managed through windows just fine as long as you have cables that can plug into it.

I currently have 3 monitors attached, 2 DVI and 1 HDMI.
