Gtx 980 vs Gtx 970 SLI

[smolkomartin1]

I wanna now what is better and smoother at 2K.

[TheSLSAMG]

The GTX 970 SLI will wreck the GTX 980 in games properly optimized for SLI.

[lani100]

SLI GTX970, can confirm since I use them wrecks a single 980 in almost every game.

980 if you want space to expand

[GodSpoon]

Good lord this is asked every day

 

980 if you want the ability to add a second later on, but 970 sli will smash a single 980 when games are optimized

[Redjo]

Gtx 970 Sli for more performance !  

Gtx 980 for upgradability later !  

 

 

There u go clean and pretty answer

I agree, also a single card is always the best option anyway but if you wanted to you could always get another GTX 980.

[IceCold007]

You have a third option and wait. See what comes out later this year it might be worth the wait. AMD NEW line and the interesting 980ti sometime soon hopefully.

 

Im ready to upgrade seriously since im running 670 SLI and im looking at the 980ti with interest because of the speed,vram and price.

 

Power, Heat and looks don't bother me when buying GPU's

Not all games are optimized. :3

[R_Golden]

Please just get a single GPU

970 SLI for sure. Depends on the SLI profile of the game.

Gtx 980 is overpriced. Gtx 970 sli vote in here. 1 gtx 980 is about 10-20% more powerful then 1 gtx 970,so does 550$ vs 340$ price explains it? No freaking no.

After having so many issues with SLIs profiles (the shuttering, oh the shuttering), I just sold one of my card. So far so good with one single 970 at 1440p

Might upgrade to a single 980 / Titan X in the future

Sounds strange to me. Been using gtx 970 sli for a while. Didnt have to turn off sli or play with profiles even once.

Had problems with Dying Light - Shadow of Mordor - Final Fantasy XIV and Guild Wars 2. All of them had shuttering, and specially FFXIV where you can see the SLI bar drop down the floor at lighting effects causing shutthers. Speyally pair up with G-SYNC. It's been 2 days playing with just one card. 10 or 20% less fps but much more smooth.

Tried Dying Light and Shadow of Mordor both works fine even after 3.5gb vram.

I think it was a problem with SLI, not with the old 970 ram issue
