I have a GTX 560Ti SLI setup right now, and I want to see if it's worth upgrading to a single GTX 770 (Asus) ?
Will there be any performance improvements?

I want to make sure it runs BF4 at Ultra in 64p maps in future.

You say this because? The 770 costs over $50 more for almost no performance increase, comes with less vram(2gb vs 3gb) and lacks free games like the radeon.

I heard 2 GTX 560 is basically a GTX 680. and GTX 770 is a refreshed GTX680 with higher clocks.

So does that means I am just getting the same horse power with just a little more fps? :(
I really want to secure 3 years of gaming run. My budget is like $500 for the graphics

The 560 performs like a 650. 2x them would not equal a 770, but its not that far off I guess. Your best option is 2x 760s in SLI. This costs about $500 and performs as well as a titan!

No I would never go for a SLI setup anymore... It was really troublesome and buggy. It's really incompatible with new games. I always had to wait for an update release from Nvidia and the game company itself...

But I guess you are right...with my budget I don't have many options.

how about a dual monitor setup? not for gaming, just for multi tasking, browsing and stuff.

SLI is very good now. Sure, nothing beats a single GPU, but there are really not that many problems with new cards, especially higher end cards. As for dual monitor, I don't have any experience so I can't say.. One monitor works fine for me, some hate multiple screens for gaming some love them. For not gaming I'm sure it would have a benefit though.
