Hello,
I am having thoughts about upgrading my GPU in the near future. So I would be grateful if you could give me your opinion about this subject.
Don't get me wrong, for the most part I am satisfied with my current GPU. It does a quite good job with games at 1080p (single monitor), not much to complain about.
I recently bought a second monitor mainly for editing at home, since I work as a video editor at the National Television. Decided to try a few games with the dual monitor setup, not the best experience, since the bezel is right in the middle, but I liked the idea of multiple screens. So that got me into thinking about perhaps buying a third 27" 1080p 60Hz monitor. But this probably requires a more powerful GPU.
At the moment I am using "MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G" GPU. So I guess the most reasonable option would be to buy another GTX970 card (SLI). But this also requires me to buy a new MOBO, since my recent one doesn't support SLI. I live in a small country in Europe, so my options are limited regarding the prices. Another identical GPU would cost ~370€ ($416) + new mobo Z97 (MSI, Gigabyte or Asrock) ~135€ ($152) =~505€ ($568).
Would it be worth it? People say that some games don't support SLI or are badly optimized, micro shutter and messing around.
or
Would it be wiser move to buy GTX 980TI (Gigabyte, EVGA or MSI) for about ~680- 699€ ($765- $786). Less chance of issues, less heat, less power consumption, less hassle, more ram etc?
My rig:
Processor: Intel Core i5-4440 Haswell Quad-Core 3.1 GHz
Motherboard: ASRock H87 Pro4
Memory: 2x Crucial DDR3 4GB 1600MHz
Video Card(s): MSI GeForce® GTX 970 GAMING 4G
Hard Disk(s): Samsung 850 EVO Series 250GB SSD/ Hitachi Deskstar P7K500GB
Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster s27b350 27" , Samsung s27d590 27"
Power Supply: Corsair VS Series™ VS650
Software: Windows 7 64x Ultimate
I appreciate any help that you can provide,
Chris
