Future proof GPU (760 vs 770 vs R9 280 vs R9 285)

[petr0s]

Looking for best possible solution for next two years.

Will use 1080p resolution, maybe, just maybe will try to stretch over 3 monitors.
Motherboard is Crosshair Z and cpu is FX-8350, 8GB of ram (will be 16 in next few days)
Looking to replace ASUS 650ti 2GB (not boost)

At this moment this cards are in my budget (I prefer ASUS):

ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5
ASUS ROG STRIKER-GTX760-P-4GD5
ASUS STRIX-R9285-DC2OC-2GD5
ASUS STRIX-R9280-OC-3GD5

Note that in 6 months i will be able to add one more card (sli or crossfire)

Now, i know that at this moment 2GB is enough, but will it be in next 2 years and for multi monitor setup?

760 and 770 are both GK104, is he getting a bit old?

r9 280 have 3gb and it is a bit outdated, r9 285 in new tonga chip with support for future dx12 but have 2gb, but again have cool feature that crossfire works with out external cable.

Again, i looked some awesome STRIKER SLI (card it self looks so good) reviews where this card in SLI was as good as 780ti.

I could go on and on like this because there is so much info but what I need is some advice what is best future proof solution for at least 2 years.

if you can get another GPU in 6 months, out of the options you provided getting a GTX 770 x2 would be quite good for a few years. However for, a 3-monitor setup you would definitely need more than 2GB. For a single 1080p monitor 2GB is plenty.

Go for the 770 if you plan to play on 1080p or less even in the future.
If you plan on going more ion the future get the 280 as you need that extra vram.

best choice ? Get a 4GB 770 and upgrade to another 4GB 770 later and this would give you more performance overall.
An sli of the 760 is not bad at all too but the 770 would still give you more.

I'd wait and see what is offered by the 9xx series of cards, and see what happens with current prices, if wanting something for 2 years or more, then would look for 3GB VDRAM minimum (and keep in mind going SLI or XFire does not add VDRAM)

I know about 770 4GB would be kinda best solution, but it is not option at this moment, need to decide one of those on list

So as I said before,
If you plan on gaming at 1080p and no more, then get the 770 and sli later (best performance)
If you plan on going more than 1080p in the future then get the 760 4GB (still great performance but a bit less than the 770s)
