So I am planning to run a triple monitor nvidia surround setup, and can't decide which gpu to get. I really want to just get a single card and then maybe sli for later. I have a choice between the EVGA gtx 770 classified 4gb. Keep in mind that I want to be able to run medium to ultra graphics on bf4. Or I can wait for the 6gb EVGA gtx 780. Also, does anyone know when the Evga gtx 780 6gb does come out?

Thank you-

if you plan to just keep a single card, the 780 is your answer.

while it is possible to use over 3gb of VRAM running the triple monitor resolutions, that only happens when you're on ultra with AA cranked up to 8x...
the 780 would run out of horsepower to play smoothly on ultra with 8x AA long before it would use up all the VRAM

even with two of them, you wouldn't chew up the 3gb of VRAM without high levels of AA.

I'm a 1440p guy, so I'm not as knowledgable about the 3x1080p resoultions and GPU needs. There's a million benchmarks and reviews out there, google around.
