As the title suggests I was wondering whether it would be a worthwhile investment to upgrade from my current setup of 2x MSI GTX 660 in SLI to a single GTX 970, with the possibility of adding a second one further down the line. I can't really find many (if any) benchmarks that compare these two. There are a few that measure the difference between GTX 680 (closest performance single card to 660 SLI) but obviously with SLI scaling and what not, it is not 100% accurate.
Even though I only game at 1920x1080, with modern games I feel like VRAM is starting to hold me back ever so slightly, and will almost certainly be a hindrance in the near future. Although not the best games to judge performance by, FC4 and AC Unity and both performed poorly on my machine, and the performance in Dragon Age is also lacklustre. Would upgrading to a 970 help?
As a follow-up if you believe a 970 would be a worthwhile upgrade, which one would you guys recommend? I was looking at the MSI Gaming as well as the Asus Strix, the difference in price is not that much of an issue, but is the higher Asus cost worth it at all?
Thanks, Blackspur.
