Do i spend £500 on a radeon 295x2 or a gtx 980 extreme edition

[NeymarX]

both the cards are the same price. surely the radeon is the best buy as it has more memory? sorry if im being naïve here, I am a pc noob lol .

what do you want from your GPU??
295x2 will be better in performance , but this card need more power , also dual gpu cards are recommended for ultra hd gaming

Yup, Can you tell us what resolution your monitor(s) is.

I have a iiyama 24 inch 144hz 1080p. Ive got around 1000 to spend i might spend 500 on a better monitor. All i want is FPS . The morw the better. I have a 1000 watt be quiet power supply. Thought about 970 in sli but heard about the coil whine. Or would 2x asus mars 760 cards be better? 4 gig on each ...quad sli?

The 970 is designed for 1440p, so it's somewhat overkill for 1080p. It should run a single monitor at 144Hz at 1080p. So a single 980 or 2-way 970 is probably over-kill. As for the 295x2, that's for 4k really. It's waaay overkill and it's also a ridiculously hot card. Don't do 3-way or 4-way SLI...ever. It causes micro-stutter in games and it's extremely annoying. For £500 I would do either SLI Zotac 970s or a single 980.
