I am mainly interested in playing the next-gen games. I would be fine with a 760 but i am totally willing to pay for 770. Bf4 on ultra would be good but i would NOT like to go with an Amd.

More about : geforce760 770

GTX 770 mate you should get some decent fps with little drops on 1920 x 1080p :)

If you can stretch your budget, its always best to get the better card rather than regret it at some point in the future. The 770 is a pretty good value these days at just over $300 with three free games.

The 770 is a good choice, but if you max it at 1080p ultra with 4xMSAA, you will get 60fps but with some drops below sometimes I guess.

I have an OC 680 (ASUS TOP) which performs maybe 5% less than a 770, and I prefer to keep BF4 in High with full 4XMSAA just to rarely drop below 60 (just my way of playing, i prefer to be smooth).
If I go all ultra with AA, I get 60 fps but when it becomes intense in fight or there are explosions I have some drops to 45-50 and I don't really like it :( 

Enjoy

I would say go for the R9-280X. The 3GB VRAM might come in handy at times.

Examples of the situation where the extra VRAM might come handy are :

1. Playing BF4 for long durations. So even if the RAM utilization goes above 2GB, still there would be no frame drops with the 280x, wheras if RAM utilization ever goes above 2GB in Nvidia 770, then you are going to see frame drops.

2. Playing Skyrim with high resolution texture mods applies. I mean anyone who plays skyrim mods it with high def textures and all which causes an increase in VRAM utilization. And 280x has 3GB VRAM which really comes in handy.

3. Playing GTA 5, I mean you need some VRAM to load all the textures and other stuff.

So, looking for the future the 280x would be better option.

Though if you can go for the 4GB 770, then that would be awesome. But I am not quite sure that the 256 bit bus would be able to utilize all the 4GB.

The 280x has 384 bit wide bus so, it can utilize more than 2GB RAM without a problem.

Currently running ultra with my gtx 670 slight overclock @+95/95 MHz/memory clock and currently don't ever drop below 55fps on bf4 (using vsync until gsync comes out!), are you on windows 8.1? I couldn't run ultra on windows 7 but no problem on 8.1 so 760 will give you what you need but 770 will give you more... If you desire higher than 1080p you have to go 770 minimum. Ultra @ 1080p is enough for most gamers =)

The OP clearly states that he does not want the AMD card.
He's better off with GTX 770 (also the recent price drops from NVIDIA).

Well.. then get the AMD 770 4GB. More VRAM would definitely help in the future. Recent games are memory hog.

Ultra with 4XMSAA and POST max ? How come, even my 680 OC (TOP editition) struggle sometimes and go below 50 for a while.
Can't be man.

Can you tell what CPU are you using? There might be a bottleneck somewhere.

I am... although I pushed overclock up to + 100mhz and clock +200mhz now which is still stable .Are you on windows 7 or 8? My performance was poor on 7... runs better on ultra/win8 than med/7. I am using an i7 2600 CPU.

280x has been the better battlefield 4 card from various benchmarks over 770 (~5fps) without mantle. Would personally get this card if I wasn't getting g-sync monitor so if you aren't that is something to think about.

And yeah I also missed that too.

The BF4 is said to be making use of Mantle API soon. With that you can expect significantly a lot of performance increase. This point I missed in the post I compared the 770 and the 280x.

Also some more games are going to make use of Mantle, so this is where the AMD is going to have huge advantage too.

I'm on windows 8.1.
If I put ultra with AA on, I'm over 60 fps but when there is action I sometimes drops to 45 or so..

sad..

Well. BF4 is able to use more than 4 cores, hence it is performing better with the i7 2600. That is the difference that you guys are seeing.

Windows 7 and Windows 8 perform about the same. Doesnt they?

you are good on cpu then... try on msi afterburner a 100mhz overclock 200mhz memory clock boost and either a 4x msaa/high or 2x msaa/ultra those will raise your min fps to avoid frame dips. Your 3d settings maybe too high also in nvidia settings reset to defaults for best balance

I also was not happy with my windows 7 64 bit performance on bf4 so upgraded and it was night and day...
