Geforce 970 sli or 980 ti when it comes out?

[Raave]

Hello! i searched alot of places. and i dont seem to find the answer. I am wondering what graphics card would be best for gaming? i use 1920x1080 and to run everything on ultra and get most fps. and get the smoothgame play.

Is it best to wait for the 980 ti or will 970 sli be better? The game new game GTA v do require a bit of Ram. Aswell as im not sure which one would give best fps and gaming experience in other games also.. if i should go with the 2 970 or 980 ti?

Thanks! I hope for a reply with someone that knows the answer

Hang on and wait, the GTX980Ti isn't out yet, but it should be available mid June.

Instead of 980Ti you should get a Titan X. When the 980Ti is released I am sure it will cost more than the TitanX.

coozie. I see.. well i saw someone release specs about the 980 ti that it had leaked about what it has. so thats why i was curious to ask.

And i see mugglens. thats quite expensive card then yep. Or i can go for even cheater than the titan with 970 sli ^^

At 1080 a single 970 with modest overclock would probably be more than sufficient.

Honestly, to answer your question, I need to know one thing: do you intend to switch up to 4K?

If you are aiming for 1080p:
The 980Ti is an expensive card, but any single card is a safer bet than any SLI'd pair. The SLI'd pair may be more flat-out powerful, but that's only on games that are optimized for it, which many aren't. If you already have a 970, then the price of another 970 will be much lower than a 980Ti, but if you are planning on buying both 970's at once, then you would be better off with the 980Ti, or waiting for something newer to come from NVidia.

If you are planning 4K+:
The reason I mentioned waiting is that, right now, unless you have the new Titan Z or Titan X, gaming at these higher resolutions is not feasible on NVidia cards, it just isn't... If you absolutely must have 4K this moment, your best option is to buy an R9 295 XII for the same price as the 980Ti, you'll get much better performance at higher resolutions.

Summary
1080p or 1440p: 1x 980Ti
4k or better: 1x R9 295 XII

Hope this helps

Yeah. it does. Thanks alot for the help ( i got old 670 card atm. and i7 cpu. )

And nope. for now i will stick to 1080p gaming might move to 1440 in future. but take that when time comes.

Yep. i will wait a bit longer for msi and other brands to release better cooling for the ti before i buy. Thanks for the help.
