I have 2 GTX570's right now.

Should I get the 780 now, or wait for the 760TI?

When will prices go down on these 7 series cards?

What are you guys doing, its hard to justify $650 on a card that is a re-bundled 6 series.. however, I want to play BF4 on ultra along with other upcoming games.

The GTX 760 ti is, most likely, a stripped down version of the GTX 770 (based on the GF104). If you want a GF110 based card the cheapest id the GTX 780.

But a pair of GTX 570s should just about get you there anyway.
 

The GTX 780 is NOT a rebranded anything. It is the GK110 chip that was originally destined to become the replacement for the GF110 chip found in the GTX 580 (my current card). As it was, the GK104 was good enough and cheap enough to produce so it went into the GTX 680 instead. The GTX 780 is only worth $650 because it lacks any competition and truly carries the current tag of "world's top GPU".

If I were looking to upgrade, I would love a GTX 780, as I feel it is the true successor to my GTX 580. However, with the games I'm currently playing, I see no reason to upgrade so I'm waiting for Maxwell in 2014. I'm sure you're in the same boat with GTX 570's in SLI.

Now, you probably won't have to wait long for the GTX 760 Ti to be released, maybe a couple weeks. It should be faster than a GTX 670 for about $300. A pair of those in SLI for $600 would be a very tempting upgrade for someone like you, giving GTX 690 performance for $400 less.
