Should I Upgrade My 770 2GB?

[JBatten]

So I have a MSi GTX 770 OC Edition with a light overclock that on average gives me an extra 10fps on games and what not. Anyway, the 770 is beginning to struggle on newer games a fair bit. It isn't the the GPU itself but the 2GB of memory that seems to be the bottleneck.

 

So I've been looking around and I've found a few 1060s that are in my budget but I cant really warrant the money for a 1060 as its not that special and just so i can turn textures up doesn't seem to be worth it. Any thoughts on where I should go with this?

Wait for Vega. It's coming quite soon.

get a rx480/580, it's cheaper and better than the gtx 1060.

don't think vega will be that cheap.

Could have a lower end card for all you know.

What is your CPU? If it is good get a used 980Ti or 1070, if not get a 580 or lower

So if Vega release a lower end card to compete with 1060 would they be technically releasing another 480/580 again?

That's what the RX500 and 400 series are.........

There are supposedly leaks out there that shows how they perform

Use logic man, don't you think it's stupid for AMD to release a similar performing card every few months?? (RX 480 - June/July 2016, RX 580 April 2017, Vega - around July-August)

Unless you can get a more decisive upgrade, such as a xx80 (TI) or the Vega that is coming, I'd hold off a bit longer. A 1060 and RX 580 are faster, but not $200+ faster.

 the low end VEGA chip is $400 dude

I think you can get more mileage out of it.  2GB of VRAM is okay.

I'd upgrade. That 770 is pretty much identical to the 960 I had 6 months ago.I upgraded to an 8gb RX480, and games literally doubled in FPS on max settings. I'd say it's worth it :]

if its not broken dont fix it
