Hey guys,

i was thinking about upgrading my GPU's. I have currently HD6970 and a HD6950 in crossfire, my question is should i buy a GTX 770 or wait till the GTX 780 price drops or the HD8000/HD9000 series are realesed?

(i say 9000 series because there are rumors that AMD are just going to do OEM HD8000 series and jump to HD9000)

You will be waiting a LONG time I would go 770 or wait for AMD

i5 3570 | MSI GD-65 Gaming | OCZ Vertex 60gb ssd | WD Green 1TB HDD | NZXT Phantom | TP-Link Wifi card | H100 | 5850

I wouldn't be on your toes about any new updates. Go with the 780. Right now its probably the best single gpu besides titan.

Why do people recommend a 770 when the 7970 is the same price, pretty much preforms the same and comes with 4 games?

The games i already have,with the cards i have now its like 30% jump and i want more then that, because i get 2 high end cards and have them for a 2yr cycle :)
