Hah, got to love comments like this. Why would you take a card that have 2GB and more or less same performance as 280X?

Sometimes i really don't understand you.

2GB isn't the factor at my use, i prefer nvidia as i have vastly superior XP with them then with AMD, and they have 3D Vision which i use, AMD don't have anything that come close to 3D Vision... so yeah all of those make me choose 770 despite 2GB.

easily?

you would easily pay an extra $75 or 125$ if you buy a 770 which has more than 2GB of memory (the 280X has 3GB minimum) for this

it may be your preference, but I wouldn't call giving an extra $ for a practically equivalent card an "easy choice".

if u read what i wrote, in my location they cost the same.

3D vision (and stereoscopy in general) uses about 20% or so extra memory for the same load, pretty cool though especially because it is more supported in games than AMD's approach to 3D.

I am not saying there are no reasons to chose the 770 over the 280x, just surprised about the "easy choice" part and I am going to stop here before the conversation turns into this:

yeah :D i want to avoid all that nvidia vs amd, we have it enough that was not the purpose of this thread.

Still i would not recommend purchasing the Phoebus, the hardware is cool the software is garbage.

You know i had the same experience with my EssenceSTX -- great hardware horrible software -- I wonder why this is. Their software support for their motherboards, in my experience, has been excellent. Their soundcards have had the opposite treatment.
