I've decided to get a 770 in the next week or so, and had decided to get a 770 4gb in anticipation of getting another for SLI sometime later this year (this isn't normal for me, but I'm going to want it for star citizen, and this seemed better than planning on doing a single generation upgrade to the 800 series). However I noticed while poking around to see how much I could get for my old 570 dcII that older GTX cards don't really...well exist at the retail. Is this just because the 700 series was an upgrade of the 600 series, or is this a common phenomena of GTX? (would make sense since AMD as I understand dominates most everything outside of the top tier [where I know they win sometimes as well]).
If its the case that this is common in GTX, how long after the 800 series comes out until 700 prices start to go up, and will they come down at all? (if there is even going to be an 800 series before the fall, I hear everything from any day now to end of year to 2015).
I know this is just speculation, but that't what I'm asking for speculation from those with experience.
Thanks again for your time guys.
