EA has not kept up as new generations of graphics chip that have come out. Basically what you need to do is fool the GraphicsRules.sgr script into thinking the GTX 770 is the same as a card that is closest to it. The GTX 770 is based on the the GK104 core which is the same core as the GTX 660 (not the mobile version but that may work) .

You have to have your codes (I don't know what they are for a GTX 770) and get the GraphicRules.sgr script to identify your codes.
I did all that and it worked, but the graphical issues were not fixed.
How much Texture memory is reported im the DeviceConfig.log file? Does your dxdiag say Window 8 or Windows 8.1?
