Sup fellow community members!
Okay so about march / april i was on here asking about possible upgrades etc etc, and came to the decision of upgrading my CPU to i7-6700k
While doing so i got another Asus strix GeForce GTX 970 4GB meaning i had SLI
Now, what i noticed by doing this was jack shit. No noticeable increase in fps, apperently most of my games don't do well with SLI, or support it at all, i know rookie move from me.
I run 3 x monitors of 144 hz @1080p
So i was sadly disappointed in not being able to se a increase that i would have hoped for.
Now i was thinking about buying the 1070, as a hope of increase on fps etc. But is it really worth going from SLI gtx 970 -> Gtx 1070?
I'd like to know pros / cons and suggestions to why to and not to do it. And perhaps you had SLI config, and updated ur self.
My goal is also to be able stream at a high level of quality.
with that in mind, a old friend of mine has offered me 500 euros for my 2 x gtx 970, my old i5-2500k and mobo / ram 16gb.
Since my old rig is boxed away, i was thinking this is a fair price, and was thinking of spending the money from here on the 1070.
gtx 1070 starts at 390 euros in my country and goes to 450 Euros
gtx 1080 starts at 610 euros and goes up to 680 Euros.
But wouldn't mind leaping for the 1080, but then it really has to be that much money better, and a few year safe, in terms of upgrading it again any time soon.
and if i should get a new card, which one, as in brand and model, since there are like 20 different models to pick from.
Thanks in advance!
