GTX 980 Ti SLI Upgrade

[Dangz]

I have a question I want to see if it is worth to upgrade my GTX 980 Ti SLI for a GTX 1080ti, or is it better to wait for the 11 series to come out or do you think my gtx 980 ti's can hold more years for the future?

I'd defo say hold out.

The two 980ti's are still very decent, even by GTX1080ti standards. What res are you playing on?

At 1080p they will still eat most games. At 1440p, will still be great, specially for those games that make use of SLI (although the support is dwindling).

I'd say unless you are having some specific issue, or a particular game your playing isn't performing as it should, then apart from that there is no reason to consider an upgrade.

Your system is still a HEDT, and will game well for a few more years yet. Maybe it judge it better in a year or two when the 11xx series comes out.

I just wanted to add that you should go to a single GPU when you upgrade as SLI support is dwindling.

Nice monitor. I'm well jel!

I'd agreee completely with WildCard999, having the best single GPU is the best way to go now. SLI was great in it's day, and unleashed some crazy performance, sometimes nearly 2x, but often less. Along with the micro stuttering and sometimes lacklustre performance increases and with lack of support, and less developers implementing it, it doesn't make much sense now. So a single, powerful GPU is always the way to go.

Well, at 1440p you're not gonna be pushing 144hz/FPS in most of those games. Yes, maybe Fortnight or CSGO, or something like that, but for COD WW2 and BF1, prob not, unless they have SLI support. Funnily enough, I play both games, and have never even looked to see if there is SLI support

A GTX1080ti, plus an OC of your CPU might push FPS towards the 144hz/fps mark, but you might have to dial back settings here and there.

With that said i'd still say stick with what you have. Wait for the 11 series. You're system is well capable for now.
