Which EVGA 770 card?

Hey guys. With my new rig that i recently purchased i bought the EVGA 670 FTW Sig 2 because of the Step-Up program they have, knowing that i could upgrade within 3 months to 700 series.
Well, now the time has come to upgrade to the 700s😀. Given that the 770 is just about the same price, i'm going to be upgrading to that, and since I can only Step-Up to an EVGA card, it has to be from them.
This now leads me to the whole point of the thread and my question: Which EVGA 770 card would be the best to Step-Up to? Or is it too soon to tell?
Thanks guys.
 
If you are only using one card, and you have good case airflow, the ACX is better. If you have poor airflow, or small card, or have a toaster setup (2 or more cards), then go with a blower style (SC if they come out with one).

Are there even going to be any blower style 770s? Anand's article was pretty disappointing on that front in saying that there were going to be nearly no reference designs with the higher quality blower heatsinks.
 
Can you step up to a card with the same chip? 770 still uses gk104.

Edit: never mind, I was thinking about the time I tried to go from 680 2gb to 4gb.

The reference card they say I can upgrade to is this: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-2770-KR, which Scott14522 said.
My 670 FTW Sig 2 was actually $409.99 from NCIX, so i don't think it'll cost me anything (except shipping).
I'm just wondering whether it's still good to upgrade to this reference design from the improved cooling of the FTW Sig 2. I heard, and saw from Tomshardware's review, that the reference fluctuated the fan speed a bunch and wasn't consistent.

Bump.
Is the EVGA reference 770 worth the step-up from the 670 FTW Sig 2?

Is it worth the trouble sending in the card for the 10-15% gain? :whiste:

Let alone, the price difference you have to pay. For the 10-15%, is it worth it, really?

I suppose, it's cool to upgrade if you like upgrading, for the sake of upgrading 😀

If I were you, I'd upgrade to 780 instead. At least that card, is in the Geforce Titan performance territory 😉

I dont think it'd be that much trouble :<
And there would be only a small cost, if any, as the card i got was the same price as their current reference.
And i wish i could go to the 780 D: I dont have that extra $250 🙁
