or one of these

Ill be gaming in 1080p

770's will give better performance in games that scale reasonably well, but even at 1080p 2gb is not enough. I'd go 970 as you'll also get less noise, heat and power consumption.

really so cards like the 960 are already obsolete

The 970 for sure. It has more vram and won't have scaling issues, not to mention lower temps and lower power consumption.

No, they're just budget cards. They're good for the money, but you can still do better.

[Goldensapling]

A single 970, dual-gpu scaling is generally awful.

According to tech of tomorrow 2 770s are better than a titian

Titan

No. The difference is that 770 SLI would effectively give you a really powerful GPU with a pitiful amount of vram, whereas the 960 is a pretty weak GPU in comparison and its vram is appropriate for what the GPU itself is capable of.

[tmlhalo]

Yes, two 770s are more powerful than a Titan... IF the game supports SLI which not every game does. Here are the games Nvidia choses to showcase for SLI. If it isn't here then support is mediocre for that game. In which case you effectively have only a single 770 as the other will be idle. The single 970 will perform like a single 970 regardless of SLI support since it is a single gpu.

Not yet but the 2GB of VRAM on it will become a limiting factor sooner then the 3GB VRAM on the similarly-powerful R9 280

[alphaproject]

gtx 770 4Gb...???  Use those. More usable Vram than 970.

Titan

 

A 970 is better than a Titan also.
