Just upgraded my PC to a GTX 770 for gaming and After Effects ray tracing. I plan to game in 1080p at some point soon, but right now I am rocking two 1600x900 monitors, and when gaming, the second monitor is mainly used for GPU temperature monitoring and browsing. Only one monitor is displaying gameplay. I was told that I kind of overkilled it by going with a 770 not going beyond 1080p, which gets me pretty excited, because I wanted to prepare for games like Witcher 3 and Watch Dogs. First time I ever upgraded a component in my PC, so I'm just wondering just how truly awesome this card is at 1080p. I almost regret not getting the 780, but everyone I have talked to says I sort of overkilled it already since the 770 is mainly built for resolutions above 1080p. What do you think? Will this card give me awesome performance at 900p/1080p on next-gen games?
