I'm looking to upgrade from my 2GB 6950 currently installed in my system. It will be used heavily for gaming with simultaneous streaming/recording. I'd like to be able to at least do this on High settings in most games for the next year - 18 months. I'd prefer something for under $300 however there is a particular PNY 770 that is $315 on Amazon at the moment that also has my eye if the jump from what's available to me under $300 to that is worth it. The extra $15 for that is honestly a stretch and as far as I could go, so that's the only 770 I could get that I've been able to find. My understanding is my best performance/dollar staying under $300 is going to be a 760.
Is the the jump worth the extra $40-$60 for that particular 770, or would I be better off saving the money and getting a 760. Basically, is the recording at the same time gonna hit the 760 hard enough that things would be noticeably bad, or would it still be capable of delivering 30fps+ in those conditions? Or would one of the third party 760s with overclock be comparable? Is there a better option than the 760 for less than $300 that I've overlooked?
