NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Review With Gigabyte & MSI
Power Consumption, Noise, Temps

With specifications so similar to the GeForce GTX 680, it should come as no surprise that power consumption between the GeForce GTX 770 and GeForce GTX 680 is similar as well. Due to its higher GPU and memory clocks, the GeForce GTX 770 consumes slightly more power than the 680, bit the deltas separating the cards are relatively small.
The reference GeForce GTX 770's GPU temperatures fell in line with expectations. Due to the card's support for GPU Boost 2.0, load temps will peak at whatever value is set in the driver. The non-reference cards from Gigabyte and MSI, however, ran at much lower temperatures, and appeared to ignore the GPU Boost temperature target.
In terms of noise output, all of the GeForce GTX 770 cards were very quiet. Considering the fact that the reference cooler hand handle the heat output from a GeForce GTX Titan's GK110, cooling the GK104 on the 770 is no trouble at all.
