Using one year old card in dual SLI is it worth it?

[Stoinberg]

So I have a gtx 780 3gb in my rig right now that I built around one year ago. I've seen that the price is going down and I was considering that instead of buying a new card I wanted another gtx 780, therefore having a two card sli. I mostly want to do this for fun and I don't want to spend a lot of money on a new graphics card.

 

Will a gtx 780 dual SLI be more worth the money and performance than for example a gtx 980?

 

In my country i can get a gtx 780 for around 300 USD while a new gtx 980 would cost 700 USD

 

What do you think?

Yup, it's a good enough deal.

Go with the SLI if you want more raw performance. But if you want the features of the newer card, sell the 780 and get a 980.

Yes, I have sli gtx 780's right now while my dad has a single gtx 980 in his rig. I can say it crushes the 980 for most things only drawback really is heat (unless you happen to water cool) and power consumption. I cant say a lot in all honesty as im planning to get sli 980's this summer cause i have an itch to build that wont go away lol

3 displayports for multimonitor 4k and/or gsync, HDMI 2.0 for 4k tv's, 0db fan modes out of the box, higher efficiency, autobalancing power rails for smoother overclocking, are some just to name a few.
