The dual 480's served me very well for years and I'm hoping to be able to have the same long term performance for the next cards I buy.

Well with 4GB of VRAM I'm not sure how future proof these cards will be. There's already a game out there that requires 6GB of VRAM for max texture settings, Shadow of Mordor. Even if it's due to lazy optimization, you might see more games like that down the road. That's why I opted for the 970 instead of the 980, it's a great upgrade for right now and will be more than enough to tide me over until the 8GB cards come out and become more affordable. My plan is to wait for the 10xx series due out in 2016 and do my future proof upgrade then, selling the 970 for a reasonable amount
