Herro,
So here is my situation, i want to play bf4 ultra at 1080p. At the moment i have a single 60hz 1080p monitor and cant afford a 144hz 1080p monitor. So my question is, if i get a 770, can i play bf4 ultra at 60 fps and then in the future when i get enough money for another monitor, get that and then sli. So basically here is the progression to make it easier
770 single 60hz monitor
770 144 hz monitor with complementary 60 hz
770 sli dual 144hz monitor (Is dual monitor good for gaming?) and then a complmentary 60 hz

What would a single 770 paired with a 4670k get 1080p wise on bf4? I've searched all over and cant find it. Will sli 770's be good enough for 3840x1080 in the future? Is that a good resolution to game of should i stick with 1920 until i can get 5760x1080?

Hope fully i explained this well enough as i'm usually not to good at that.

Thanks!

770 single 60Hz. This would work great.
770 144Hz would be fine, but you probably won't hit the 144FPS constantly (probs around 80 - 90 which is still great).
770 SLI w/ dual 144Hz would be okay performance wise, but in any shooter, your cross-hair (or reticle) would be split down the middle which most people don't like. FPS could be around 80 - 100FPS, but I'm not entirely sure.

I would say, go with one 144Hz and the 60Hz in the end of the process (easily hitting around +100FPS), or go with 3 144Hz for tri monitor gaming (probably around 70 - 90FPS so getting 3x60Hz wouldn't be a bad option either).

Thanks! Just after I posted this realized that the 780 had a price drop and I'll probably get the galaxy hof 780edition with the 60 hz then get the monitor in a few months. A 144hz monitor with a complementary 60 hz is awesome with a 780. I'm super happy about the price drop. Any ideas on what the 780 gets 1080p ultra wise?

Any of them would be great. Are you looking for strong cooling or best performer? If you want a cool running card, the ASUS GTX 780 DirectCU II OC 3 GB. EVGA have great customer support. Gigabyte and Galaxy tend to be better priced, while still performing closely to ASUS (sometimes a little louder or hotter). I'm not too sure where MSI, XFX, PNY, Zotac or any others sit but I'm sure they have great products too.

OH! Sorry, I had miss-read your post! Well, at 1080p the 780 performs as well as my two 670's in SLI (if not better). I would say you could easily play most games on max settings, and with a small OC on top, you could get more AA on Crysis 3 and other titles as intense as that. You should expect around 70 - 100 odd frames in most games @1080p, as long as all your other components can keep up. If you read this review, this is what you should expect from the card: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_780_review,23.html

r9 290x gets hot even tho they say its ok but thats to much heat for me..Going with a 770/780 would be ideal with the prices coming down as well
