upgrading gfx card

Hi, i currently have a Radeon HD 6900 series 2GB card, do i need to update? also ive been looking at the EVGA 770 GTX 4GB card, would this be a good move?

Thank you

Yes, it would be a decent upgrade over your 6900. Have you thought about a 280x? It's quicker than a 770.

No more than a 770.

could get that now, but what about physX?

Not supported as that's an nVidia feature only. There are not that many games which use it either.

What games do you play?
