The GeForce GTX 770 PNY XLR8 Enthusiast Edition GPU could struggle if it was to try and run the most demanding games available today, but it meets a lot of game system requirements found in today’s games. Capable of running games with up to a DirectX 12 requirement.

This PC hardware performance game review for the GeForce GTX 770 PNY XLR8 Enthusiast Edition graphics card, when running 2020 more popular games, lets us see what type of FPS this card gets when playing at 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen resolutions and ultra settings. We look at 1000 of the most demanding games available today and this GPU is better than the recommended graphics requirement of more than 112 games in the list.

A GeForce GTX 770 PNY XLR8 Enthusiast Edition card at 1080p is seeing a playable frame rate when running Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord on Ultra - 32 FPS. Lets look at the performance its getting on Valorant which is 360 FPS. To add a bit more variety lets see how the popular Call of Duty Warzone performs on this hardware, which gets a weak 20 FPS.

We move on to 1440p, and tested Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord which delivered weak FPS results. Here are the graphic presets - Low: 64 FPS, Medium: 51 FPS, High: 34 FPS and Ultra: 24 FPS. Next we have Valorant running on GeForce GTX 770 PNY XLR8 Enthusiast Edition which gets L: 724FPS, M: 570FPS, H: 384FPS, U: 274FPS. And for performance contrast the popular Call of Duty Warzone gets L: 40FPS, M: 32FPS, H: 21FPS, U: 15FPS at 1440p.
