Ok, so I have had the 770 4gb for around three months and I wasnt really satisfied with the results I was getting, just wanted to go bigger. I want to order a GTX 780 ti but I see online that It could be weaker due to only 3 GB of vram. Im sure that it has the muscle to out power the 770 but will the 3 gb of vram be a limiting factor? I should also note that my monitor is not conventional, I'm using the Asus mx299q. Its a 2560x1080 29" monitor.

my setup:
i7-4770-k @ 4.5
Asus MAXIMUS VI HERO

Vram is not a limiting factor. Else you would see the 4GB GTX 770 beat a GTX 780Ti. Vram is not a measure of performance of a gpu.
The GTX 780ti is the faster card regardless of the Vram differences. The gtx 780Ti should be fine at that resolution.
Look up gaming benchmarks of the card for a more accurate difference then looking at specs.

Sell the GTX 770 4GB and get the 780/780Ti 6GB. All the new games require 3GB+ to run smoothly at ultra settings : Cod Ghosts, Titanfall, Watch Dogs, Wolfenstein the new order and imagine what The Witcher 3 will require...

Disreguard what the person above said. Non of those games need more than 3gb (maybe watchdogs but that game seems to run horribly on a lot of systems that should easily run it). Definitely go the 780.

Well of course they don't NEED more than 3gb, hell BF4 and AC4 look better and use even less vram BUT due to next-gen lazy devs, vram is considered for them as unified ram and they are stuffing to it as much as they can, so generally the more vram now means SMOOTHER gameplay, even if average fps are the same as with graphics cards with less vram and a smooth gameplay is what I believe every 780 owner wants and paid for.
