If the rumors are true that the dev kit 2 will come out sooner rather then later I am thinking of upgrading my two year old HP Pavolin Elite with the Geforce 770 GTX graphics card here:
Do you think it should run it without a problem? as it meets the power supply requirement thanks! hopefully i put it in the right section :-).
The card i have now is the Geforce 550 GTX Ti...which according to the charts this newer card would do much better! I am really happy with my PC as it is now even though its two years old i can run most games and programs fine but just to get a better Oculus experence i thought it might be nice to upgrade the graphics thanks!
The minimum recommended power supply wattage of the GTX 770 is 600W, so you should theoretically be safe there. power_2.png
You should make sure, however, that you will have a 6-pin and an 8-pin power cable ready to plug into the card: power_connectors.png
I am running the GTX 770 in my machine, and it is a great card. People seem to be liking those new AMD cards, so make sure you look at all the options on the market.
oh it only takes up one 6 pin the 550. hmm i didnt have any other things installed on my PC other then what came with it so i hope there is a free 8 pin 😛
thanks but i think ill stick to EVGA ive used them before and they do well 🙂 so yeah i see the thing does say i should have two PCI-e cables so i assume it should be able to work 🙂 Sounds good. The 770 is one of best cards out there and its near as powerful as the titan (which is now outdone by the newer nvidia cards) but at a price thats not TOO over the top about the cost or less then a PS4. and honestly the PS4 is nice but it really cant beat a decent PC 🙂
The 770 is rly a good card to buy now i think... i also bought one (the MSI TF) about 2 weeks ago 🙂 i had a 560ti till then, and i am very satisfied now with the 770. The 560ti was VERY loud, so i wanted a quiet card, and the MSI TF did sound like a nice combination of performance & low noise. But also dont forget about AMD, like treytech said, people seem to be liking the new AMD cards.
