Are you keeping both computers? If you are only using the one, then dump the 670.

Sell it.

Strange upgrade though, its not a huge amount faster than a 670.

yeah, its like 10% but with oc id say 18% its awesome. i usually upgrade every year or two. . i think ill sell it, let someone else enjoy it. instead of it collecting dust :(  i really liked it too.

Yeah, the 670 is still a great card for 1080p gaming. What you can do in the meantime if you can't sell it is use it as a PhysX dedicated card for PhysX games. Won't really increase overall performance in games, but will give you much more resistance to frame drops and stuttering during PhysX action.

Though selling it would be great, and you could use that money to get another 770 :p  lol only keep it as a PhysX card if you plan to use the future build as a gaming rig.

Yeah the 670 is very similar and shares a lot (both gk104 with 256bit bus, except its a few cores less, 1344 to 1536. and clock speeds are higher).

670 is still a great card, you should be able to sell it no problem, worth about $200/£120 used I would say.

Next time I think you should read reviews, not be so eager to upgrade and save your money for a better upgrade step. You could have OC'd the 670 and the 18% wouldn't have been so great either.

You could have SLI'd the 670 :p  lol but still, for $290 with a copy of watch dogs, that's about the retail price of a 760.

Closer to $700 on the 780 Ti lol

The 770 is a great card, and will handle 1080p at Ultra/Max for a good amount of time (or until next year when the 870 is out and you can't help yourself :p  )

why sell it if you don't need the money ? you can keep it incase you have a issue and need a backup card to get something going quick or to check issues you mite have with a new card or board ... sounds silly to hurt your self in that way

lol ^ yep :)  probably get the 870 when the price drops like this 770 did :)  "i cant stop" i have an affinity for them. i only have a 750 watt psu and no other 6=2 pin connectors. i dont see sli to be worth it.
my 670 ran 5760x1080 impressively well believe it or not. med- high settings 40-80 fps on bf3 since then i got a 46" tv as my monitor :) 
my 670 is on ebay for 190 if anyone wants dibs. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251529140327?ssPageName=STRK:ME...
