NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770

The GTX 780 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Kepler set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 770 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 399. NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Kepler graphics card inside the GTX 770, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, R9 280X, the GTX 770 was -8 % slower. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Valorant at 82 fps to 82 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 82 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Valorant at 67 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 67 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480

NVIDIA ’s xx80 cards have always been defined by high-end prices with performance that knocks on the door of extreme graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Fermi graphics card inside the GTX 480, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, HD 6970, the GTX 480 was -21.2 % slower.
