Hi,
I currently have crossfired HD 7770's which have performed really well up until now but i am getting fed up with the games that just don't want to run properly because for crossfire bugs, it's just too unreliable for me.
Having just have my birthday, christmas and a lot of temporary work i have saved up a fair bit i can spare on a new GPU but i don't know which one will be the best for my needs.
I currently use a 21.5" 1080p monitor and don't plan on upgrading that for a while, so i dont really care about 2k or 4k performance, i just really need to know what will get me the most reliable/consistent high to ultra settings on games such as BF4, AC4 and next years releases.
My budget is about £400 so i can afford a GTX 780 (EVGA SC ACX) but i'd like to know if its worth getting a GTX 770 for about £280 and also getting a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD? which will give me the smoothest fps in 1080p. I would just like to reiterate how important it is to me that it performs well as consistently as possible, i want to be able to buy a game and play it, not buy it and find out that it just doesn't want to work.
As an additional note i have sidelined looking at AMD cards because i don't know what kind of impact MANTLE will actually have, people say it will be great but that could be hype since i haven't actually seen any proof yet (please link if you can find some), if it is released soon i will consider the r9 290 or the r9 280x + the samsung SSD but at the moment the NVidia cards + those 3 games looks like a better deal.
Please correct anything i have said, and any information+advice you can give to make this decision easier would be great. please dont say that because i can i should just buy a GTX 780 because if it wont help much for 1080p i can spend it elsewhere.
thanks in advance
p.s. i have added a poll to make it easier to see the overall opinions but please do explain your votes, thanks
