Since the battlefield 4 specs have been released i don't know what to do with my gpu. I originally want to do gtx 760 two-way sli but my friend said to get two gtx 770's. I would do this but it would cost too much at this moment to get two 770's but i can afford one.

So what should i do?

Get two 760's now
Get one 770 but wait 4 months until i can get another

I want to run on ultra but also want to make the gpu last until next year atleast. Plus if you could what psu should i get with it. the budget is £80-£150 for psu

Agree get a GTX 770. If you are gaming on a single monitor at say 1080p you may not even need a second GTX 770. Either way I would go for the GTX 770. For a Crossfire/SLI setup I think it is best to get the best cards you can get instead of pairing two lower end cards together. Overall it will give you better GPU performance.

For me I am going to stay with my SLI GTX 670 setup I think it will still get me though the next gen games as I have not found a game yet that my rig can't handle.

A single 770 will probably last you more than a year, there probably won't be a need to add a second one in four months, rather in a year, maybe two :) What PSU do you have right now? And what are the other system specs?

Your current card can handle the game very well if not on ultra settings. If you want to get a card then go for single GTX 770, later if you were unsatisfied you can buy one.

Here is a good PSU, for future SLI.

just wait for the game to come out... nobody can do anything but guess right now about what will be good for bf4


it's just foolish to make a gpu upgrade right now... just wait a couple more weeks

I'm not 100% sure, but I think they can. Also, lonewolf's PSU should do very well.

A single GTX 770 2 GB can run triple monitor setup with over 30 FPS in games. As I said earlier get a single card now, play with it, if not satisfied, then get another one later.

2GB VRAM will be enough for triple monitor setup.
You can go with the above mentioned PSU, it will handle a SLI setup also very well.

And if you want to test your PC for Battle Field 4 which will be due on Nov 5 2013, here is a link to answer your question : http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri
