I need a quick answer - I`m building new system and thinking for GTX 680 or GTX 770 for 3ds max landscape scenes. Watched some comparisons between GTX 680 and Quadro K5000 and GTX 680 was about 25% slower when rendering some scenes, so for me it`s a good choice. GTX 770 is newer, quieter, less heating, it has the same specs as GTX 680, and although it uses different GK104 chip than the the one used in GTX 680, I think that it`s performance will be similar to the GTX 680 (couldn`t find any rendering tests with GTX 770). Another plus for GTX 770 is that it`s easier to find it with 4GB, so do I need more VRAM and what exactly does the VRAM - will it improve the rendering time or the viewport speed - the differences in price is not that much but some says that when it comes time to use them, the GPU will be so slowly that I will have to change it because both GTX are 256 bit. Also what do you think about two GPUs x 2GB - as far as I know it does not improve the rendering time by 100% (/2) but about 70% and it`s better not to use them is SLI when renderin, but will a two GPUs in SLI mode or not will improve the viewport speed?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, Gigabyte offers 3 years warranty, so it`s another way to choose between different manufacturers, but what about 2xGTX 770 2GB instead of 1 GTX 4GB.
