So I'm shopping for graphics cards and I'm stuck between the gtx 770 and gtx 760.  I'm currently playing on a 1080p monitor.  I have enough money for both. I do realize the 770 will be a better choice, but as stated above, is it really worth an extra $160?

definitely the 760 is meant to replace the 660 ti and the 770 is basically a GTX 680 on steroids.

It's like comparing a 660Ti to a 680 if you're more familiar with GTX 600 cards! 

770 wins hands down!

One last question, Asus dc2 gtx 770 or EVGA sc acx gtx 770 and why?  Which has better warranty coverage and which cooler is more efficient?
