So i have an older graphics card which is the AMD 7970. Now its a good card runs most the games i need but not enough power for my liking. I want to upgrade to nvidia mostly because of shadow play and amd version is not to great. So obviously there is a big upgrade to a 980ti but i dont think i can justify spending that much on a card. But then when i look at the 970 i think its to weak compared to a 980ti. I use my computer for gaming a little bit of editing i mostly plays less demanding games but do like playing newer game which the 7970 can just about barley handle. So in anyone's option is it worth upgrading to a 980ti for future prof or is a 970 worth it and if i need more power the i could sli? Please help. My budget would be from £200-£400 but if its worth it i could spend the extra on a 980

Also this is my setup:
i5 4690k Devils Canyon 4.3ghz
Corsair H55 water cooling
Gigabyte Z97X-SLI
AMD 7970 OC 3GB
Corsair CX750M
8gb Ram
Crucial M500 SSD 256GB
 
Solution
Two 970s are like single 980ti
single 970 overclocked right is about as regular 980.
r9 390 is like ~5% faster then 970
r9 390x is ~10% faster then 980
so I think you want gtx 980ti
