    I bought a gtx770 for $260 and the other for roughly $60 bucks. I've done some research, read several threads on here and other websites.

    Conservatives say, 2 gtx770 is more than enough, at least for a while. Other say, the 2gb will be a limited factor in some games and a single 970 would be more beneficial. I only game at 1920*1200, I like the idea of a single card solution, less heat, less problems, although the set up does look awesome. lol

    I am assuming that these cards would easily sell at 250 bucks easy. Say I sell both, thats 500 bucks, enough for either a 970 or 980.

    IMO I'd keep that 770's until the next gen. They have more than enough power at that resolution

    I doubt you can get 250 per card, new on newegg isnt much more, I had a hell of a time selling my 2 4gb 680 ftw. Took about a month to sell both cards here

    I'd say sell each 770 for $150 or so and get a single 970. later add another one.

    Yeah that's what I was thinking. It's not like I am running multiple displays, yet lol

    Really? I see 770 going for 300 on average on craigslist and 350 for a 780, thought maybe a 250 price tag would sell quickly and easily consider both still have warranty.

    That's 3 for 3

    UGH 150 is so low though, I think I would feel bad for selling them so cheap lol. You wouldn't?

    You sure $300 isn't for the 4GB version? I bought mine brand new 6 months ago for $320

    I think you would be doing good to get between $150 and 200. If I was upgrading from 770 sli I'd wait for GM210, actually that is what I'm waiting for to replace this card.

    them cards are enough for 1200 and 60fps in most stuff. 780 and 780ti had big price cuts as well. the time to sell 700 series cards for good money is over

    I think you guys are right, 150-200 would probably be the best. The 770 are averaging 200. I'm hoping the 670 drop in price, would love to get my brother another 670 for a SLi. We were able to get 2 gtx670 for 120 each which I thought was a steal. Keep in mind i'm talking about craigslist lol You get some awesome deal guys. Bought a 370k for 300, Asus P8Z77-V for 70 bucks xD

    I have had my two 770's on Craig's for a week now and no one is interested. I am thinking of keeping them for my backup pc and waiting for the next version to come out before buying.

    Keep them yes, unless you need some hi-res W-D tittle :D

    1200p isn't a problem for your actual 770 sli, out of my experience at least.
    i got a single 670 dcuII running on that resolution not so long ago and with the latest dirvers it should be more than ok

    i think it is pretty fine.
