Hello guys, first and foremost Id like to say I love this card to death iam going to miss it ( Maybe ill put it in my other build ?) Iam looking to spend somewhere around $500-$600 could be a single or dual-gpu I don't really care, I kinda like the idea of owning like an Exclusive card like a Mars II or something similar.Another card iam really considering is the Gtx 690 used maybe from Ocn marketplace?

As far as what the future holds for this card id like to give 4k a shot but iam not sure if my other components can handle that kind of demand. You guys tell me whats my best bet heres what I have so far- Cpu Fx 9370........Motherboard; Asus Crosshair Formula-Z.......... Corsair Hx series 850 watt psu............... Can upgrade if needed............. 8 gb Corsair Dominator Gt ram 2000mhz.......

What about a Single Gtx 780 ti? It cannot handle 4k on its own I need 2 right?

I wouldn't recommend a 780 ti simply because of it's price to performance ratio in comparison to a dual GPU setup. I've also heard the AMD 290/x's do better in 4k than Nvidia counterparts, but I know very little on the subject.

Dual 280x's or GTX 770s?

Possible 4k iam still not sure? I might even try Nvidia 3-d monitor instead still haven't decided. Yeah I know the Amd cards are a better value but I really want a Nvidia card. 770s are nice,no doubt about it! Lets see if 2 of them in Sli can do 4k? Maybe a user can pitch in on this topic?

Single Titan? Used maybe?- Sorry I know very little about these new cards,I use to have Radeon 6970 crossfire and I had a terrible time with them, wasn't really user friendly to say the least.

A single GTX 780 or 780 Ti will be a great match for that system. As others will tell you, with the release of Watch Dogs, 3GB of VRAM is a necessity for high-end gaming now. Unfortunately, that knocks out the normal GTX 770 and 760.

I remember a lot of people used to say that a 680 would never take advantage of 4Gb of memory in gaming, but I've never seen anyone say the same thing about the 770; which is a very similar card. What made everyone stop complaining about the supposed bottleneck?

Not trying to start a huge VRAM fight, I'm just curious.
