Okay folks, here's the deal. I currently have an outdated EVGA 570GTX SC card. My birthday present is going to be my upgrade. My birthday is the first of October. It looks as though it will be close to the release of the release of the 800 series of cards and thus my dilemma. I'm currently looking at a 770 GTX, but if the 870 is out by then, should I ask my lovely wife for that, or stick with my guns on the 770? From my understanding the 870's (or w/e they decide to name them) will only be referenced cards and thus not be as well performing or priced as a superclocked 770.
So, I humbly ask your opinion. As if you were in my shoes. I've been long awaiting an upgrade to my GPU. Would you go with the 770 or try the shiny new maxwell 870? Couple things to note:
- I want to stick with an NVidia card
- I'm willing to wait until after my actual Bday (within reason) for the 800 series
- This is primarily for gaming
- My CPU is an OC'd I5 2500k
- I'm looking at a price range of under $450. If the 780's drop below that I'd certainly look into it
- Resolution of 1920x1080
Thanks in advance for all opinions on the matter! Cheers!
