Upgrading from GTX 770?

Howdy,

 

I'm running a GTX 770 for my PC. What is the best options for upgrade?

 

Reasons why I want to upgrade:

- It runs hot. My room heated up when playing game, so I'm looking something more power efficient.

- My build is miniITX, and the 770 makes internal temp rise really quick despite of I have an relatively good airflow case. I'd opt for reference blower design.

 

Is 970 a viable upgrade? 

 

Note: I need to dual boot Linux for school work, and Nvidia driver has been great. How is AMD driver for linux?

How much money have you got because a Fury X would be perfect for a small build.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Under $400. I'm waiting around year end to take advantage of black fryday sales.

 

How's AMD driver support for Linux?

Not to sure about amd's driver support but I don't think that the 900 series from Nvidia is supported on linux yet.

Nvidias 900 series is supported.

NVIDIA's GTX 900 series supports Linux just fine. They have the drivers on their website for 32-bit and 64-bit OSes, along with support for Solaris and FreeBSD as well.

I do not need a good support, a working driver that display correct resolution is fine.

I had bad time when I helped my friend with his AMD card running Linux.

Well, It does not run hot. My temp rarely reaches over 70C.

 

Just the heat output is not that great. I have small room and it makes me sweat while gaming..  :D

For 400 USD the best option right now is get a 980 used on eBay. But the Mini ITX is an issue because idk if  a 980 will fit. 

 

I don't think it's worth waiting until the end of the year for price drops because you can find the same savings on eBay. 

 

brb waiting 5 months till black friday for 100 (maybe) dollar savings.
