I would wait until the prices simmer down, until then. keep your money, i mean no games are gonna have a MINIMUM requirement of 780 SLI or GTX 980.

Why not 970 sli?

 

Because we'll get to the point we're at with the 770 where people are all like "Uh, it's not the best, why did you bother, errgghhh"

If you have a 780 already, buy another one, I'd say. They might get cheaper again, but I doubt with the amount they've dropped in the last 6 months, that they're going to drop much lower than what they already are. Especially since retailers will have already been trying to clear stock

I would buy a used 780, a lot of people will probably sell their 780 to get a 980.

1440p

i think you first have to mesure the odds of you buying such a monitor as they are quite expensive...

so am i...but i feel that for the games that are out at the moment its not worth the investment..do you feel the same way? i mean i'd do it for a brand new BF5 on a frosbite 4 engine or something like that but theres just no such things happening the next big title will be far cry 4 and its based on the engine of the far cry 3 so it should be pretty light to run as well...anyway.
