My 4GB 670 FTW's have been serving me rather well. Can't complain about performance and temps. I debated on getting two vanilla 670's, but the 680 pcb and blower style fan made it a no brainer. My cards stay at 68 degrees with fan speeds at 60%. Mind you, my wife hates AC.  I'd grab another.
 
@Sean I'll be doing that as well!

I would agree the 670FTW was one great deal. The 700 series is overpriced, I remember when the 580 was just a few hundred, now the 780 starts at $640.

If you already have a GTX-670 FTW ,then the best thing to do would be to get another GTX-670,because the GTX-770 is not that much faster maybe 3 to 6 FPS faster,but the GTX-670 will overclock very easy to make that difference up .Plus two GTX-670-SLI will blow that one GTX-770 away.

Oh... Well for $20 it's worth the new technology. The 670 FTW is just a 670 overclocked a bit, and even a reference 770 would have much better performance than a 670 FTW.

False, the 670 FTW is a reference 680 GTX with one Smx unit turned off.....the 670 FTW also has a 8 phase VRM, reference 670's have a 4 phase VRM. The best choice is to try to find another 670 FTW, as 770's aren't beating the 670 FTW's by even 1%. The 770s ranked in this forum are performing terribly.....look at the Valley Benchmarks Leaderboard....

I've been running GTX 670 FTW SLI for over a year now. I have them locked at 1228MHz boost clock. There is nothing I can't max at 1920x1200. Even Crysis 3 at Ultra with 4xAA stays silky smooth 95 percent of the time. My first bad SLI driver experience was with the recently-launched Battlefield 4. Still waiting on a new driver from Nvidia so I can run both cards w/o ridiculous stuttering.

Yeah I stay away from Console shared Port games, except for a few titles like Crysis/Metro/Dead Island- franchises.

My dual 670 FTWs absolutely blew my mind when I first used them. I knew that the performance was great from what I heard prior to buying them but I never expected it to max out every game no sweat... as long as airflow is solved (unless one uses water cooling).

Motherboard: ASUS Z77 Sabertooth
CPU: Intel i5-3570k No OC
GPU: EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB in 2-way SLI
PSU: NZXT hale82 850W Bronze Certified
RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
SSD: 120GB Samsung 840 Series
HDD: 3TB Toshiba 7200RPM
Case: NZXT Phantom Full Tower Green Trim
Fans: 3x 200mm Green LED, 1x 140mm Green LED, 1x140mm, 2x120mm
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit

definitely go with the extra 670 FTW for SLI. you get the entire worth of the card in performance over your current (almost double).
where as the single 770 is only a very modest upgrade over a single 670 FTW
 
like most have said already a 770 is literally just a 680 with new tricks and mhz, that is IT.
 
the 670 FTW performance level is 95% that of a reference 680 in essence.
