AMD Radeon R9 295x2 VS Nvidia GTX980 SLI for 4k

[Corey Koerner]

im building a new pc. and i was wondering which would for better for 4k high end games

 

[Andres de Groot]

Non of them. I would wait 1 month when the R9 390X comes out

That card can REALLY handle 4k at 60fps 😀

It's hard for a single GPU to run 4K at 60 fps, even with an R9-390X. It will take a couple of years for that to happen. Perhaps the next-gen "Pascal" or "Volta" NVIDIA GTX TITAN III (or whatever it will be called) will have a chance.

well i said sli, so 2 gtx 980s

2x 980 are better than a 295x2 the same way a single 980 is better than a single 290x.
The 295x2 is roughly the equivalent of a pair of 970's so you could expect 15-20% better performance from the 980's and they should use about 100 Watts less power as well at peak load.
