Go to solution Solved by arronleeds,

Nah stay with your 770 and wait till the games get to powerhungry (eg. Cant achieve 60fps on min settings)

not been rude but thats a stupid move, why would  you wait til games cant run low settings O.o.

 

id say go for it, next gen probs wont be released til the end of the year or even next year.

 

or better yet wait for amds new gpus and nvidia may just drop the 980 price.

It wouldn't be a terrible move.

 

A GTX 970 is a great card for the price, at around $330.    And it looks like the current market value for a used GTX 770 is around $160 - $200.  So your out-of-pocket costs will be in the $150 - $200 range.

 

For that price, you're roughly getting +50% performance boost going from a single GTX 770 --> GTX 970.  So the performance boost will be there.

 

I'd say go for it.
