I'm looking to upgrade from my HD 6950 (shaders unlocked to 6970 specs). Given my budget (about $300) I think the GTX 770 might be the best upgrade path. I'm wondering how substantial of a FPS difference I should expect if I go through with this.
I game at 1440p, I'm using a 2600k OC'd to 4.5ghz with 8gb of ram. I play a wide variety of games including Wolfenstein: The New Order, Bioshock Infinite, CSGO, Red Orchestra 2, Tropico 5, and a bit of War Thunder.
Right now I get 40-50 FPS in Wolfenstein running on mostly high settings. I only pull about 35 FPS in Tropico 5.
Using sites like GPUboss, it looks like the 770 is only about 10% faster than the 6970 in raw horsepower. This isn't really enough to justify laying out $300. Should I expect to see a bigger change than these numbers would indicate?
