How much of a performance difference would I see on BF4 ultra?

The other specs will be
CPU: FX 8320
RAM: 8 GB 1600
Thanks for the help! Tell me if you need more info.

The 770 will max BF4 at 1080p. Why are you getting the 4gb version though? the only point of a 4gb 770 is to SLI it with another 4gb 770 at resolutions higher than 1080p. Your money would be better spent on an overclocked 2gb card. Also asus and evga make better cards than gigabyte.

One of these two cards will suit you better if you do not plan to sli at high resolutions.

I plan on SLI ing in under a year so thats the reason for the 4gb. Would it be that much better to get a new card? I thought it would save money. What would the FPS difference be?
Thanks

What do you mean with the last parts of your post? Are you asking if it would be better to get a single 770 now and upgrade it to a different single card later? What are you comparing when asking what the FPS difference would be?

Sorry about that. I was asking if it would be better or cheaper to get 1 770 now then 1 more in about 1 year then to get a new card in 1 or 2 years. For the second part what is the difference in FPS between the non reference models of 770s. Thanks.

From this link the clock speeds look higher on the gigabyte. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125463&clickid=wJq1M62wv2bGzJaVRwW-2VZOUkT3bcQBW3FGz40&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na
Are they wrong?
Thanks! Sorry for all the questions.

The fps difference between the cards can be in the high single digits between the lowest clocked card and the highest clocked cards. I'd go with EVGA or ASUS for non reference nvidia cards.

For the other part, if you plan to SLI you would need a 4gb 770 for it to make sense, which run around $400. So after you buy the second one you will have dropped close to $800 total. Unless you are playing on 3 1080p screens or 1440p or higher, I'd say buy 1 770 now, save up, sell that 770 and then buy a badass 800 series when it lands.

Thanks for the help! I posted another question if you didn't see it, but you've already helped enough.

Oh, well yes the clock speeds are higher, but I personally don't like gigabyte when there are evga and asus alternatives, especially since the evga is like 20mhz behind which you can OC using software in 2 seconds.
