I'm hoping to upgrade my gaming rig later this year, and nearly everything has been updated on it over the last 2-3 years, apart from the graphics cards.
I'm running a 6-core at 4.0GHz, 16GB of 1600MHz RAM, a nice motherboard and plenty of fast, high-capacity drives, but I've never updated my two GTX 260's in the 4 or so years since I bought this rig.
I was looking at getting a single GTX 770, but I can get the GTX 760 for quite a good price through trade accounts, but didn't know if that would be a big step up.
Obviously there's advantages like much less power consumption, quieter, less heat, no SLI issues in games, DX11+ yadda yadda, but I have a pretty hefty overclock on my GTX 260s and I don't really have any issues in games, they're just not the latest and greatest any more .
So basically, I'm wondering if a GTX 760 would be a large step up from two GTX 260s, or I should wait and get the 770 when I have a little more money.
Your thoughts people?
I know how old my cards are, and all the benefits of the new 760s, but try to answer as if it were your money. I know the easy answer is to just upgrade, but 260s in SLI are still not a joke.
