If i do not have a 4k monitor would it defeat the purpose of having SLI? Or what that also increase fps on my asus monitor?

your asus monitor is 144hz refresh rate so you could get 144 fps instead of the standard monitor 60

 

[craft35]

So would there be an extreme increase in performance with the SLI compared to just one 970?

 

[Justin Millard]

Don't bother with SLI for 1080p gaming. Its far more trouble and expense than what its worth and a lot of games don't support SLI or crossfire. So for many games there would be no performance benefit.

 

[Justin Millard]

If you're aiming for 100FPS 1080p gaming I'd recommend the GTX 980. Although the 970 should get you at least 70FPS on most titles. Honestly though, I don't think most people can tell the difference between 70FPS and 100FPS.
