10 Aug 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

The GeForce GTX 770 EVGA W/ ACX Edition is a very low performing piece of gaming hardware and can probably only run indie system requirements.

DirectX 12 gaming system requirements will be met by this gpu.

Here is a quick game performance synopsis for the AAA games played in 2023. In particular we focus on how well the GeForce GTX 770 EVGA W/ ACX Edition runs at Ultra graphics settings and what frames per second it is getting at 1080p, 1440p and 4K monitor resolutions. This card runs recommended graphics requirements of 223 games from the top 1000 most demanding games being played today.

Running at 1080p this card gets a playable frame rate from Days Gone with 25 FPS on Ultra. Then we take a look at Back 4 Blood which returns a playable 34 FPS. Another title that we looked at is the popular Far Cry 6 which we saw getting a weak 0 FPS.

As the PC gaming masses explore larger screen resolutions we decided to run some game checks at 1440p across a few popular games. We discovered the GeForce GTX 770 EVGA W/ ACX Edition ran Days Gone to a weak performance level. Results across the graphics settings looked like this, Low: 50 FPS, Medium: 40 FPS, High: 27 FPS and Ultra: 19 FPS. Another game tested was Back 4 Blood, L: 68FPS, M: 54FPS, H: 36FPS, U: 26FPS. And then we checked graphics card performance on Far Cry 6, which returned L: 0FPS, M: 0FPS, H: 0FPS, U: 0FPS at 1440p. In summary we feel the GeForce GTX 770 EVGA W/ ACX Edition running at 1440p is not ideal and its more advisable to run modern games at 1080p resolution. But if you really want to play games at 1440p then you will likely have to make some graphical adjustments to improve game FPS stability.
