Currently have a i7 950 @ 3.8 and a GTX 570 and seriously considering an upgrade. The card is a bit old now and gaming at 1200 I would like a few more bells and whistles for the latest games.

Really can not decide on what to get, I have stuck with Nvidia for ages now just because I have always been happy with them. Was considering a 780 as it looks like an absolute monster and will last me a good few years like this 570 has. However it is also over £500 and for your money is not maybe the greatest option. A 770 is still going to be a substantial upgrade on my 570 at something like 60% isn't it? And is a more realistic price of £350 or so.

I have been offered a 680 for £260 which is pretty much on par with the 770 isn't it?

Just wondering what if anything is in the pipeline? I believe the 770 and 680 are using an oldish architecture and not sure what might be coming up from either AMD or Nvidia or is that it from Nvidia for a little while?

Thanks ladies & gents
