In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M 2GB SLI are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 770M.
The GTX 860M has a 218 MHz higher core clock speed and the same number of Texture Mapping Units as the GeForce GTX 770M. This results in the GTX 860M providing 17.4 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 860M has a 218 MHz higher core clock speed and 8 more Render Output Units than the GeForce GTX 770M. This results in the GTX 860M providing 13.4 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 860M was released less than a year after the GeForce GTX 770M, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The GTX 860M has 1024 MB more video memory than the GeForce GTX 770M, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 860M also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 860M has 64.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 770M, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 860M is much better than the GeForce GTX 770M.
The GeForce GTX 860M 2GB SLI has 1280 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 770M has 960. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 860M is 1896 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 770M is 779. The GTX 860M having 1117 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 860M delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GTX 770M.
The GeForce GTX 860M 2GB SLI requires 120 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 770M requires 75 Watts. The GTX 860M requires 45 Watts more than the GeForce GTX 770M to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 860M may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GeForce GTX 770M.

| Mini Review | Overview GeForce GTX 860M 2GB SLI is a solution of two GeForce GTX 860M 2GB put together using NVIDIA's SLI technology. Architecture Check the Page of [GeForce GTX 860M 2GB](http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?gid=2143&graphics=GeForce%20GTX%20860M%202GB) to know more about its Architecture. GPU The Central Unit of each GPU runs at 1029MHz and goes up to 1097MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory: Speed Each GPU is equipped with fast GDDR5 and Accesses the Frame Buffer through a 128-bit Memory Interface. The Memory Clock Operates at 1253MHz. Memory: Frame Buffer Each GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 2GB. Power Consumption Power Consumption is around 120W. Performance Gaming benchmarks prove that at 1920x1080, the best suited resolution, GeForce GTX 860M 2GB SLI is around 20% faster than a Single GeForce GTX 880M. System Suggestions We recommend a High-End Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview GeForce GTX 770M is a Performance Mobile Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Kepler Architecture. Architecture The Kepler Architecture was NVIDIA's big step to power efficiency. Each Stream Multiprocessor (SMX) now hosts 192 Shader Processing Units - against the 48 of older Fermi Architecture, and has been redesigned being now clocked at the same speed of the Central Unit. This means they are more energy efficient and will consequently lead to cooler operating temperatures. However, it also means they are weaker. It can be said that one Fermi SMX is as fast as 2 Kepler SMXs. Additionally, and not available in all GPUs, Kepler also introduced the Boost Clock Feature. The Boost Clock is an even higher Clock Speed activated when in gaming mode and becomes the effective speed of the GPU. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed Kepler GK106-N14E-GS-A1 which has 5 Stream Multiprocessors activated and thus offers 960 Shader Processing Units, 80 TMUs and 24 ROPs. The Central Unit is clocked at 811MHz. Memory The GPU accesses a 3GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 192-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is exaggerated and no way benefits the GPU. The Memory Clock Operates at 1002MHz. Features DirectX 11.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for SLI, Kepler Boost, Optimus, CUDA, OpenCL, DirectCompute, 3D Vision Surround, PhysX, Realtime Raytracing and other technologies Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 75W, it is suited for large laptops. Performance GeForce GTX 770M is essentially a fast GeForce GTX 675MX. Gaming benchmarks indicate its performance is slightly better than the older GeForce GTX 675MX. System Suggestions We recommend a Powerful Processor (Intel Core i7 Mobile) and 8GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GTX 770M. | |||
