I'm going to be upgrading from a 2 GB 7850 and I was wondering if I should go for the GTX 770 4 GB or the GTX 780 3 GB. The clock speeds are faster on the 770 but I understand that doesn't mean it's faster than the 780. Also, the 780 has 384-bit compared to the 770's 256-bit. If there isn't a huge performance gain with the 780 compared to the 770 then I'll probably just save some money and go with the 770. My budget for the GPU is $660 and no higher.

Truthfully.....either one of those is way ahead of it's time. It's gonna be a while before either one has a problem absolutely shredding any game out there. I'd go with whichever one is least expensive.

Thanks man, I guess I should just save some money then. I'll make sure whatever card I get is SLI compatible that way if games ever do catch up with it then I can just add another one.

No worries! And the SLI idea is a good one. I would say it will be a couple of years AT LEAST before you have anything to worry about though. Those are stout cards.

I would say go for the 780 or jump down to 770 2gb version. You will only see an advantage to the 770 4gb if you are using a multi-monitor setup or if you plan to SLI in the future (since vram does not add in SLI or Crossfire).

Edit: woops, just noticed you were considering SLI in the future. personally I would go with the 780 if I had your budget
