Graphic Card Brands

[Timmo]

I was just wondering what brand graphics cards are used at PCS.

I am looking at getting an ASUS GTX 760, but on PCS the option only states GTX 760?

Usually the brand used by PCS are Palit,but they use other brands as well depending on stock available.

Yeah it can be any one of them really. I don't think it matters much though, any reason for the specific preference?

 

[Timmo]

I was just under the impression that the Asus one would be better build quality.

 

[mantadog]

Not really true. They are all the same, unless you go for custom coolers, factory overclocks etc. PCS just use reference cards I believe so it's not a big deal which manufactures makes it.

Has anyone here got the 4gb GTX 770? If so what's it like?

You can check benchmarks online. For one screen not really a difference between the 2gb and 4gb version

I emailed PCS and they advised the 2gb is the standard Palit version and the 4gb is the Palit Jetstream version. Is it worth paying the extra £40 for the 4gb jetstream version?

For gaming in 1 screen either will be fine.

Will play anything you want at, or very near maxed on a single 1080p screen. Just stick to the 2GB version though, unless you plan to play on multiple screens that is.

Only if you plan on gaming on 3 monitors.

Thanks alot all.

Think I've finally made my mind up. Didn't realize how many variants of cards and how many different models there really are, just didn't know where to start!!

The stock Palit cards are excellent, I have a stock 780 and it's a beast.

I don't think PCS uses all reference cards. My 780 Ti from them is a Jetstream edition.
Not complaining, but just want to let you guys know.

Any one know which brand they use for R9 280x cards? I see Sapphire make a whole load of variants of this card with diffrent Core Boost and cooling.

Generally I believe PCS use PowerColor for their AMD cards, but its is not guaranteed.
