Is it worth buying a second 970 or waiting till the new gpus come out and buy a 980 ti equivalent

[Devildog8teen]

Hey guys, about 2 months ago I built a gaming rig with a evga ssc gtx 970. I'm getting awesome performance but i want to crank up the settings even more and make use of that 144 hz monitor that i have. I'm faced with 2 options.

option 1: buy another gtx 970 right now for $350 and get kickass performance but have to deal with the drawbacks that come with SLI

option 2: wait till the new gpus come out and buy a 980 ti equivalent for around $650 (almost twice as much) but get all the goodies of the new gpus and won't have to deal with some of the hassle of SLI

I have a 750 watt power supply so i got plenty of power to go with either option.

system specs are as follows. If you need extra information

case- corsair obsidian 450d
case fans- 4 corsair af140mm and 1 af120mm
motherboard- Asus Z170-A
RAM- 16 gb corsair vengeance DDR4 2400mhz
CPU- intel core i5 6600k
CPU Cooler- cooler master hyper 212 evo
SSD- samsung 850 pro 512 gbs
GPU- EVGA gtx 970 scc
PSU- corsair rm750x

Monitor- Acer xb240h 1080x1920

Thanks in advance guys!

I would personally either get a gtx 980 ti right away (and sell my current gtx 970) or just wait for the new gpus. No point going sli 970 at this point in time.

Id say wait so you dont have to deal with SLI issues and extra heat/power caused from second card. and sell current card obviously, the sooner the better on this move doe
