Calling upon JC the god of lurking
JC:
Yeah, much like Crysis ('1') I don't think Metro 2033 actually runs well on anything, It's a beautiful game nonetheless :3
I'm fairly tempted by a 770 - the only thing that puts me off is that I haven't actually had time to pay any games for at least a month so I'm not sure it's worth it for me. I wouldn't be worried normally, but my 560 Ti is pretty much on it's last legs (a fan bearing has failed, so it sounds like an electric drill for ~30 seconds when it starts up) so I should grab one while I'm overseas :@
Patty:
Yeah glad I didn't waste the extra money on 780, for 1080p 770 is absoultely fine :3. Yeah I'm just a lazy ass student so I have plenty of time for gaming :>, but if you do upgrade I can reccomend the 770 (even though the 800 series will probably be out soon enough so maybe it's worth waiting.)

Ah the good old conundrum with IT equipment - 'But the new one is only a few months away' :3
Probably will go for the 870 though (assuming it fits in the same price bracket as a 770 with a performance bump of course), the 750/750 Ti is supposedly using similar tech to what we can expect in the 800 series and they've got pretty incredible performance per watt so we can probably expect some pretty awesome cards.
A 780 would have been pretty overkill for 1080p - I didn't realise you were running such a low res, you should upgrade your screen now ##
