So as you can see the GeForce GTX 770 is looking a lot like the GeForce GTX 780 SKU from Gigabyte, a similar fashioned cooler is being used, that I might add is awesome as it is very silent. The card is using the new WindForce 3x dual-slot cooler which used three silent 80mm fans. The aluminum radiator covers the VRM and even memory area. The radiator is tied towards two 8mm and four 6mm heat pipes. The cooler can dissipate 450W of heat whilst remaining 100% silent. As a result under full load this card manages to stay below 70 degrees C in our testing. Absolutely impressive.

With the GeForce GTX 770 you will receive four display connectors, you'll spot a full size Display port connector, one full size HDMI connector and two DVI connectors (dual-link). You can combine these connectors to setup a surround view (multi-monitor) setup. One card will give you more than sufficient performance to play your games on three monitors.

To date we still receive this question a lot, but dual-link DVI does not mean you can hook up two monitors to one connector. Dual-link means double the signal, that way monitor resolutions over 1920x1200 can be supported or you could use a 120Hz monitor. So explained very simple, dual-link DVI supports high-resolution (above 1920x1200) or high-refresh rate (120Hz) monitors.

Gigabyte offers this OC edition 2GB WindForce edition factory clocked for you at 1137 MHz (Ref 1046) with a Boost clock of 1189 MHz (Ref 1085). And as our article will show later on, there's room for tweaking as we got this puppy running stable at 1300 MHz on the boost frequency.

The card is 10.5 Inches in length which is like 27 cm for those that like and reside in the Metric system.
