So I currently have two EVGA GTX 570s running in SLI with watercooling. I game on a 120Hz 1080p monitor, and I'm not intending on moving up in terms of resolution for a long time. That said, my graphics cards, while nice, are starting to lag behind in modern games. I'm getting about 80 FPS in BF4 at medium graphics. So I'm hoping to get back up to Ultra at ~120 FPS. This doesn't have to be instantaneous, and the problem I'm having is deciding how I want to upgrade.
I'm looking at the range of the EVGA GTX 770 - GTX 780Ti in terms of cards, and I guess I'd like your commentary on what you think would be the best way to go.
So the options are as follows:
1. Buy two GTX 770s right now and SLI
2. Buy one GTX 780 now and another in a couple months.
3. Buy a GTX 780Ti now and another in more than a couple months.
Some points I'd like to hear your views on:
1. GTX 780 vs GTX 780Ti Price Vs. Performance Vs. "future proofing"
2. GTX 770 SLI longevity, i.e. if this will cost more now and not last as long as a 780/780Ti (eventual) SLI setup
3. Stock Clocks Vs. Overclocked Cards
4. Stock Coolers vs Aftermarket
What I'm not interested in hearing about:
1. Why I should buy AMD cards.
2. Why I should consider a different GPU manufacturer. I have never had a problem with EVGA, and don't expect I ever will.
Thank you in advance for any insights you provide.
