I know its pretty dumb but I am very excited for my upgrade. I currently am running on an EVGA gtx 295 co op edition. It still runs all the games out there with ease but not at the true potential. I JUST was finally able to get a EVGA gtx 780 SC ACX from newegg and it say it is being shipped already. From researching all the benchmarks and testimonials from the forums I have high expectations for this new card. 
 
Cant wait.

    Not dumb at all! You're going to have a lot of fun with it.

    That's going to be a huge upgrade... I went from that same card to two SLI'd 470s. And that was a massive increase! This is just going to be gigantic for you. Have fun!

    Makes me happy when someone has stuck with their card for that amount of time and then finally invests in an upgrade, no matter how fast their card was at the time, upgrading to a card 5 generations newer is like stepping from a Ford Fiesta into a Lamborghini Rebenton. You'll get a much better sense of the speed increase than someone upgrading from a 5 or 6 series ^_^

    I have been with this card for very long. The only reason I am upgrading is it is on its way out. I keeps freezing and crashing my computer. I have been through tech support already and have performed all recommended maintenance. It is just growing old. I will be doing a whole computer build shortly in the form a mATX using the 350D. Hopefully EVGA will produce a board in that form factor for the Haswell chipset. Other than that I am looking forward to my "Lambo"

    I can't remember when I was so excited about performance of new graphic series. Maybe 4870 DX10 when
    ATI launch 5870 DX11 with 2GB than performance increase was huge. And of course 580 Classified but that was model that special.
    Now I think is better situation than when 580 and 680 series show up. GTX780 is great but this 780 SC ACX is killer with space for more OC.
    I was right about whole regular series of EVGA GTX780.  
    FTW ACX will be ready soon with 2 phase more than SC ACX. Really lot of options.

    We will see huge upgrade. 
    Best games for me are on standby because I don't want to spoil enjoyment with AA Off and similar things. 
    I can't wait to start Assassin Creed serial, I finished only first from 2007, others wait for easy playing on Maxed.
