Id like to state my specs first.

i5 4670k @ 4.6ghz

16gb ddr3 1600

evga gtx 670 SC 4GB

asus maxims vi formula

corsair ax860

qnix evolution II (1440P 110HZ)

samsung 840 evo 250gb

wd caviar black 1tb

 

I run battlefield 4 @ 1440p Textures and texture filtering on ultra, everything else is on medium, HBAO and no AA. Most maps i get 80-110 fps, on some more demanding maps It can go down to 60

 

Ive been planning on upgrading my gpu this year. Ive wanted to wait for the 800 series to come out. I just found out about evgas step up program. So sometime later this month I should be able to buy one of the 700 series and just upgrade to an 800 as long as they come out within 90 days(crosses fingers). I need help deciding what to go with.

 

I am highly considering a 780 ti kingpin, or maybe just a 780ti classified. On the other hand I could also get 2 classified 780s. I know 2 780s is better than a 780 ti. How would it compare to a beast like the kingpin? Any information is appreciated

I would go with 2 780 Classifieds. Kingpin is sort of made to water cool.

Just get one 780 or 780Ti, should be enough and when the 800 series come out you only have to get rid of 1 card. And the chance that 800 series will come in 3 months is quite low.
