I am currently running a single radeon 7870. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605
I had purchased a second identical card and set up the crossfire but the temps they were pushing were reaching the upper 80s C and exceeded 90 during a benchmark test. Radeons simply run too hot.
I'm looking at switching over to a GeForce card and leaning towards a gtx 770. I want to go with an EVGA brand and I'm looking at the cards on new egg but not really sure how they compare to what I currently have and between the other 770s. 4gb vs 2gb? All the other variants they have, kind of clueless.
I don't want to go much over $400. I just want a considerable upgrade from my current radeon card and something that would compare to the performance of two 7870s or greater, but in a single card.
My system:
MSI x58a gd65 board
i7 950 3.07ghz quad core
18 GB RAM
OCZ 750w PSU
