2GTX780tiSC or 1GTX980ti

[Mr_FijiWiji]

About a year ago I bought a new EVGA GTX 780ti SC, but just recently the new GTX 980ti came out. I need help deciding on what would be best selling my card and buying the new 980ti or buying another 780ti SC and running SLI.

980 TI. No point going back...

edit: If you already have one, in that case just go the SLI route.

I suggest you sell your current 780Ti and upgrade to a single 980Ti. I feel that single card configs are better than dual card configs as with dual card configs, you get more heat and noise output and power consumption. Not to mention that not all games support SLI. Plus, the extra cash that you get from selling your 780Ti will make the upgrade a little less hard on the wallet. 😀

With games starting to use over 3gb vram even at 1080p it has to be the 980Ti to be more future proof with its 6gb vram

First of all, hello... and excuse my poor english.

980 Ti performs like 2 x 780 Ti in SLI, but without the SLI troubles, double vram and DirectX 12 full support.

Even that DX12 will gather the whole vram memory, If you go for another 780 Ti, you will probably need to change your PSU.

Many games demand more than 6 gb of vram playing on high res... and Directx 12 allows more than 63 million of polygons per second (over 6-12 times more than Directx 11), so that means that future games could use more vram because of the level of detail, just like Skyrim with mods (4-5 gb of vram used).

So, if you want to play games on high res and a gpu for a long time, sell yours and go for the 980 Ti... or wait till AMD releases the 390.

980ti why? Full DX12 support thats why unlike the 780ti with basic DX12 support also it is a good card low TDP for the performance

the 390X is a rebadge of the 290X afaik

the Fury X is what u want to look at (the one with 3 fans the AIO version will at least cost 80-100 usd more)
