Upgrade GPU?

[jackle13]

Hi all,

I did do a search prior to this post but I want to be more specific with my question / specs to help aid an informed decision.

I am currently looking to upgrade my GPU which is a GTX 770.
My brief pc spec is: SSD, i5 3570K @4.8ghz, 8gb DDR3
Two Monitors: both 1080p, both BENQ's but the main one being a 144hz XL2411T.

My aim is to be able to buy a decent monitor e.g. Predator X34 or PG279Q ROG - At some point near the end of the year adopt a VR headset as well.

Is 4k gaming going to be a big thing this year or is 1440p sufficient? (I'm not keyed up on this), and is it a big difference.

Also with the little information around about PASCAL, is it worth the wait? I am tempted by upgrading to a 980ti, but of course don't want to find I've wasted my money as you can imagine.

Will it be such a leap with pascal that the 980ti will fall down the benchmarks hard :/.

No one can say for sure whether the new generation of cards will bring a large enough increase in performance to make it wise to wait for them to come out rather than upgrading now. I'm personally inclined to think that the move to the 14nm process will bring the largest increase in GPU power we've had for years, and so I'm waiting.
