So long story short i am using EVGA step up program to upgrade my gtx 670 FTW to a 770 and i have been in the queue line for 3 weeks now. I am very impatient. I was originally 75 in the queue and now im only down to 59 in 3 weeks, its ridiculous. I was thinking of just buying another gtx 770 in a few days and SLI it when my other 770 from the step up up program comes in (seems like I wont get it for months). Is it worth the SLI in terms of stuttering?

1920X1080... 1080P. Ok so i have another question. I have a second option. I keep my gtx 670 FTW and SLI it, currently another gtx 670 FTW is about 350 dollars. I dont now what to do.

For just 1080p, a single GTX 670 should be fine. What games are you playing such that a single GTX 670 or a single GTX 770 is insufficient?

Playing BF3, ARMA 3 etc... I guess ill just wait for my gtx 770 using the step up program in that case. I really dont need to SLI but I feel like the 670 FTW as a single card will be obsolete after this year. BTW i play all the games on ultra. I get about 70 avg FPS on BF3.

Perhaps, but if the card still plays the games you want fine, why spend money now on a new GPU? By next year, the GTX 770 will be cheaper if you need an upgrade by then.

To tell you the truth i don't have any money issues right now. But even then I do like to save money and have the best performance. BTW my main goal is to have a 75 to 85 + FPS on BF4 and with my single 670 FTW that will not happen (i get about 75 avg fps with my 670 FTW on BF3) and i really don't want to spend 1000 on a card, even if you have the money for it thats is just a crazy price for a gcrad. As of now BF3 is my main game and it seems like if you can run BF3 on ultra with 1080P single monitor, then you can basically run any other game on ultra other then crysis 3 and farcry 3, at least from my knowledge base that's what i have observed, (I only play multiplayer games on my PC, dont like single player anymore).

I still do not see the problem. BF4 is not out yet so any benchmark or assumptions made is not factual. So there's no real statistics on how the GTX 670 will do on BF4. In any case, stick with your GTX 670 now and if you need an upgrade when BF4 is out, then buy a new GPU then. The GTX 770 may be a bit cheaper at that time as well.

That is a good point.

It's crazy cause I really didn't know how to build a comp till 4 months ago. And now that I do I want the best and powerful of everything in my comp. and I can't stop my self hahahahhaha. Obviously I'm not going to spend grands of dollars but still. Last year didn't know anything about building comps and me being an idiot I bought an ibuypower computer. These r the specs:
Amd fx 6100
Gtx 550 to
700 watt azza psu
8gb ram
As rock n68-vs3fx... Worst mobo on the plant literally
3 case fans

I paid about 850 dollars for this crap not knowin that its shit. And because of this I have replaced everything in the desktop
My rig now:::::
Amd fx 8350 oc 4.5 ghz
Evga gtx 670 ftw
Evga 750 watt psu
Gogabyte 990fxa-ud3
8gb corsair vengence
Windows 7
8 case fans
H60 cpu closed water cooler

As you can see I did not know crap about building comps a year ago so I am sort I power hungry right now hahahah

I know but I was on a budget A few months ago which I'm not on now and it's pointless selling the psu. It's works fine as of now and at least it's better then my past psu. I'm prob not gona sell it until it stops workin or it dies. I know it's not good but it foot super reviews on amazon and on newegg, even after a use of a year.

I would not say "only". Maybe to you, $420 is little, but to most people, $420 is a lot of money.

The difference between the cards is what I am talking about

Clearly he/she is willing to spend a BUNCH of cash, and if you are going to
I would say go 770 because the price difference is minimal, when speaking in BUNCHES of dollars.
