GPU Quandary

[The_Blind_Bandit]

Currently I have a GTX 770 SC ACX 4gb card. My experience with it has been great. However, I felt like an idiot because I bought in August not knowing the newer stuff was coming out a month later at a similar price point. Now I'm wondering what the best course of action would be:

 

a. Get another 770 for SLI (It's still around $350-$400 for the SC ACX 4gb one)

b. Replace it with a 970 (Not to keen on this on with the whole 3.5gb vram debacle) and then later another one for SLI

c. Save up and replace it with a 980 and eventually get another one for SLI

d. Do nothing and wait for Nvidia to release the GTX 1080 or whatever they decide to call it

Um wait for a 390x which will kill the 980?

Men the 4000 cores, hbm stacked... It has double the bandwidth of a 970. Double...

Hbm however is confirmed

So you've seen the card perform?

Nice!

D. Do nothing. Unless the 770 is really killing you for some reason I would let the gap between current and future purchase performance grow some more.

e) One of the above.

 

Personally, would wait until you actually have problems with current card.

I was thinking along the same lines. Thanks.

Why does stuff always have to devolve into a brand war?

Only person who mentioned the other vendor was the AMD enthusiast.

How was it a war? No one insulted the companies...

it was merely recommended..though yes, a bit off from the OP's choices..a recommendation out of the box (not only limited to gpu's, but cpu's aswell, lol)

 

on topic: i'd support the best answer selected..700 series are still great, i'm still considering it in making my purchase this month (after reviews and benchmark)..

Never mind, forget about it.

Being shown off in June, so probably around that time.

I'm in the same boat.  I'm going with B, but because I'm actually wanting to play The Witcher 3 really badly, however it helps I have a buyer for my old 770 (which is also only 2 gigs).

 

But yea, the 4 gig one should be fine
