GTX 970? max 1080p gameing

Jasfe

GTX 970 is enough. And I'd rather go 2 970s than 1 980.

I'd choose the 980 or go AMD at this point in time.

I wouldn't go 980. I got one and I kind of regret not going with the 970. (A little less now with the 3.5GB controversy). It's only like 15% less performance and almost half the price.

Also, R9 290x is a really good choice. You can get 1 for $300 new (Newegg US). 2 for $600, and it is more than enough to max out 2 1080P Monitors.

Hey im making a gaming pc for 2k and im wondering what is a better choice. I want to max out 2 1080p monitors. Should i use a gtx 970 or 980.

I'd advise against 2 monitor setups for gaming. Unless you game on one monitor, and use the other one as a net browsing, it becomes really weird.

 

But anyway, at 1080p, 2 970s is the way to go. In fact, you can buy 1 970 now, see if that fit's you (it should suffice), and only THEN you get the 2nd one. Should also help lowering the burden on your wallet.

 

 

Btw, about your build, I hope you know that you are flushing money down the toilet with your memory choice. You could literally save 30 bucks on it. Also, you should get a bit beefier PSU. I mean, 600w is enough, but I wouldn't have the balls needed to go all out on OCing the CPU and 2 GPUs with it. Cue AMD 300w tdp cards.

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

Id go with the Gtx970. I used to run 2 1080p monitors on my gtx770 without an issues, while i only gamed on one and used the other for browsing and stuff i still had no issues.

Im currently running an acer 4k monitor on my same 2g gtx770 and have no issue playing games at 4k on medium settings, even games like bf4 im getting around 45fps and on COD:AW

Due to the current state pf GTX 970 with the 3.5gb VRAM slow downs I would go with a 980 or R9 290 or R9 290X or eve a R9 280.

 

Avoid GTX 970 for now, suspicious and false specs and the recent VRAM slow downs mean it is an area to avoid.
