Nvidia has officially launched its newest member of the Geforce GTX 700 series, the 28nm GK104 based Geforce GTX 770. Although it is just a rebrand of the GTX 680 with some improvements, the GTX 770 has just the right price and enough performance to put some serious pressure on the AMD Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition.

In case you missed those earlier reports, the Geforce GTX 770 features pretty much the same GK104 GPU seen on the GTX 680 but with higher clock speeds, GPU Boost 2.0 and higher power limit. Specification wise, the new Geforce GTX 770 feature 1536 CUDA cores, 128 TMUs, 32 ROPs and a 256-bit memory interface with either 2 or 4GB of GDDR5 memory. As noted, the GPU works at 1046MHz base and 1085MHz Boost clocks while those 2 or 4GB of GDDR5 memory work at an impressive 7010MHz.

The GTX 770 uses the same reference cooler previously seen on both the GTX Titan and the GTX 780, draws power for 8+6-pin PCI-Express power connectors and feature two DVI, an HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

Surprisingly enough, Nvidia decided to launch the new GTX 770 with a US $399 price tag and has actually given a green light to its AIB partners to come up with their own custom-design versions from day one.
