Re: If I were to pull the trigger
I too will be getting a new card in the next couple of weeks, so I am watching this thread.
I just want to play BF4 with everything cranked at 1080P. I'd like to keep the cost in the $3-500 range. I currently have a 6950, so I think I would prefer an ATI/AMD to avoid having to do the Drive Sweep dance (I would most likely just wipe my SSD and start fresh.....again). Although, if the Nvidia cards are the way to go, I'd gladly go that route.

Mantle enables even my humble 7870 to put everything on Ultra and play above 60fps. The only limiter is my CPU when I turn shadows up. You probably don't need more than a R9 270, but a 280/7970 GHz will do you just fine.
My only problem with making a recommendation right now is that 20nm dies are coming next year, so any card you get now is going to get obsoleted fast."In matters of style, swim with the currents... in matters of principle, stand like a rock."

Re: If I were to pull the trigger
Not too concerned with future-proofing, just now-perfecting.
I built my rig last year (mostly), but excluded the vid card because it was decent enough, and I knew I would get a new one for BF4. Now, I just want the horsepower to full BF4 on Ultra and stay well-above 60fps.
So it looks like it would be between a 280 or a 770GTX. They both released new drivers specifically for BF3, so I guess we'll see which performs better.
I don't plan on CF or SLI right away, but I may down the road. It was the original plan with the 6950, but never came to pass, and now probably wouldn't be money well spent.

Get two Titans, dial everything up to 11, set it, and forget it!

Re: If I were to pull the trigger
You mentioned CF and SLI as well, Dex. ATI makes a great card for single gpu use. But nvidia/sli is much better when it comes to multi-gpu setups. If you are planning that route go with the 770.
