Try to hold off for the 16th to see what AMD Releases. Even if you don't want an AMD card, it may cause more Price drops on Nvidia cards.

Have you tried playing the game yet? I've been playing on my old 1GB 5870 at 720p and it runs perfectly. Certainly not the best looking, but the main thing holding that back is lack of Memory and not the GPU itself.

I suspect you could play the game at 1080p, with really good graphic settings, and 60+ Frames with no problems.

New AMD cards are getting announced June 16, not 24th. Might want to wait and evaluate the landscape. Don't get a 980 or a 2nd 770. Better to sell a 770, and get a 980Ti. That makes more sense.

Wait for the AMD R9 3xx series launch. As said above by RS you can evaluate your options after performance and pricing of R9 3xx series is known. So wait for the reviews and see if it causes price cuts on GTX 980. :thumbsup:

If you are open to AMD cards then you can pick from a bigger list of cards. be patient and good luck. :)
