The GeForce GTX 770 Leadtek Hurricane III Edition is a very low performing piece of gaming hardware and can probably only run indie system requirements.

All games with system requirements of DirectX 12 or lower are met by this card.

We take a look at game performance achieved on this graphics card when running 2023 popular games. This short GeForce GTX 770 Leadtek Hurricane III Edition game hardware review looks at the graphics card frame rate performance on Ultra graphics settings at 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen resolutions. We look at 1000 of the most demanding games available today and this GPU is better than the recommended graphics requirement of more than 232 games in the list.

With 1080p being the most common gaming resolution at the moment we explored how well the GeForce GTX 770 Leadtek Hurricane III Edition can run Back 4 Blood at 1080p and saw it return playable frame rates at the following graphics settings - Low: 91 FPS, Medium: 72 FPS, High: 48 FPS and Ultra: 35 FPS. For performance contrast we can see that Star Citizen is predicted to return a playable 35 FPS at Ultra 1080p.

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 Leadtek Hurricane III Edition ran Back 4 Blood to a playable performance level. Results across the graphics settings looked like this, Low: 69 FPS, Medium: 55 FPS, High: 37 FPS and Ultra: 26 FPS. Another game researched was Star Citizen with predictions of L: 69FPS, M: 55FPS, H: 37FPS, 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. 1440p gaming on the GeForce GTX 770 Leadtek Hurricane III Edition is going to struggle to keep a solid FPS, but a modern game could have a few options tweaked to get it playable at this res but on low graphics settings.
