I always say that a single card is always better so I would go with the 980ti

A 980 ti new is a bad deal now, is you can find it for 300 bucks used yeah but just buy a newer card.

How is it bad? I agree it's only good at $300 or less (I got mine for $300, a 1070/1080 is about $350-400), but it's a beast of a card for any older games, or newer ones that are well optimized. It can match a 1070, even edge it out by a few % when both are overclocked, if you won the silicon lottery.

Oh, missed that. Yeah, it's a terrible deal to pay $600+ for one new, but I wouldn't think anyone would look at buying one new, being that they cost that much. (circular reasoning at it's finest)
