I am currently running a single radeon 7870. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605

I had purchased a second identical card and set up the crossfire but the temps they were pushing were reaching the upper 80s C and exceeded 90 during a benchmark test. Radeons simply run too hot.

I'm looking at switching over to a GeForce card and leaning towards a gtx 770. I want to go with an EVGA brand and I'm looking at the cards on new egg but not really sure how they compare to what I currently have and between the other 770s. 4gb vs 2gb? All the other variants they have, kind of clueless.

I don't want to go much over $400. I just want a considerable upgrade from my current radeon card and something that would compare to the performance of two 7870s or greater, but in a single card.

My system:
MSI x58a gd65 board
i7 950 3.07ghz quad core
18 GB RAM
OCZ 750w PSU
 
Solution
If you could sell your 7870 immediately and get a 780ti do that...

You won't regret spinning for the fastest card in the market.

Go for it..

On topic, usually two GPU's murder one GPU unless compared to the top GPU in the market.

Exactly.

And last I checked Gtx 780ti was the top end card...

And I said clearly unless its a top end card...

My bigger picture plan was getting a good 770 and then a second 770 later on as a next upgrade. My problem is I don't know which 770 over a different 770....seems like there are so many variations I don't know how to pick.
