Im gonna change my card, i got an 7950 HD ATI Sapphire Vapor-X and im going out of country in this week so i can buy a better card.

MY PC:
i7 4790K
16GB DDR3 2400MHZ GSKill sniper
PowerSource Coolermaster GX 750W 80 Plus
SSD 500gb EVO + 1tb SATA 3
3 Monitors 1080P HDMI Acer Flat Borderless

I got my 7950 HD but i cant use those 3 monitors, because of displayport unavailable (here in argentina i cant get any adapter for this and i donw want to mess with this anymore).

I use 3 monitors for work, but maybe sometime im gonna play some game on 3 monitors.

Ive founded an EVGA 980TI for a really good price and MAYBE can found a 980TI Gigabyte (not confirmed)

This cards worth it? is the same and good change if i get EVGA SC 980TI because Gigabyte is out of stock?

Well the 980ti is one of the strongest gpus out there-if you have found a good deal on one I'd go for it. As far as which one to get it really comes down to preference-the difference in performance should be small enough not to matter. I'm personally a gigabyte fanboy but i know a lot of people who rave about evga and their customer service

Thanks a lot for the replies. Ive read in other threads, lot of people saying "just wait until PASCAL nvidia cards" but i think pascal would be SO EXPENSIVE for the firsst 3-6 months so i think this is my best option. 500 usd for a 970 or 900 for a 980TI . Its cheapest thatn my country where it cost 1200 usd 🙁

I think im gonna try to get gigabyte (but many here says that has LOTS of coil whine 🙁 ) and if i didnt get one of this, i would buy EVGA.
