Hi all,

I'm currently running dual GTX 480's in SLI and I was considering upgrading video cards. What video cards do you all suggest as a good worthwhile upgrade while not completely smashing my wallet?

Thanks
Jekt

Tom's actually compared those two in their review of the 760.

The performance jump from 760 to 770 is around 15% to 20%.

GTX 770 is best bang for the buck right now from NVidia. 2gb models start at $400 a pop. 4gb for $500. Those single cards will outperform your 480s in SLI hands down. If you wanted to keep an SLI configuration, you could go with the GTX760, starting at $250 a pop.

Yep. 760's in SLI. I agree.

How does 1 x 760 compare to 1 x 770?

Well thing is 480x2 (SLI) perform about the same as single 680. A 770 is roughly about 5-10% faster than 680 so to be honest just upgrading to a 770 (baring SLI issues with some games aside) won't really bring a noticable difference in FPS. While going to a 760 wil actually be a downgrade in performance so the best bet would be to go to either a GTX780 for $650 or do 760x2 SLI (faster than a single 780) for about $500.
