GTX 760 2-way SLI vs GTX980

pszero57
Go to solution Solved by menendez1293,

Personally I think your better off just waiting it out for a little while and seeing what comes out next. The 980 is a great card, but like always there will be better in a short time. And it seems like your in really no rush. 

 

The only reason I am moving from my 760 to the 980 right now is because I was in EVGA's step up program and it made sense. 

Good afternoon, I'm requesting the help of the comunity for check comments and suggestions about this:

 

I have already an GTX760 SLI since 3 months, but the arrival of the new 900 series, I'm really having a bad time thinking if I should upgrade NOW or stick with my 2 760's for at least another 6-7 months, I know a single 980 overperform SLI 760 but what im looking for is price/performance...

 

for gaming: 1080P, single screen.

 

I really need many opinions..

 

Greetings and thank you in advice!

If your current set up is doing what you want, there really is no point to upgrade. So I guess my question is, are you happy with your current set up?

I'm really happy with the performance of my 2 cards, with this setup I can play almost everyhing that I throw to my rig.

 

So if the question is "are you happy"? the anser is yes, more than happy, this stuff overperform a titan.

 

the problem is the amoun of VRAM they have (2gb) and now are coming out games like Dead rising 3, Watch_dogs and titanfall that are using more than 3 GBVRAM..

 

so my main "reason" about upgrading is the amount of VRAM, is like I have a mini titan with 2 GB....only that...

 

Thank you for your support guys, looking for more suggestions...rightnow everyone is making me  feel that my actual SLI setup is winning the price/performance...

If you need more V-ram then you might want to think about selling your sli setup and buying a 780 ti

Yeah...I could enter in the Step up program...but sadly im not resident from the USA :/..

as I see, I will stick with my SLI setup, anyway they perform Awesome, like a titan...so maybe in 6 or 7 months more I will think on move with the sucesor of the 980....cos ofc there will be 1...

 

thank you all for your answers!

Unless you want the maxwell features (which is why I went from 2 way 760 to the 980 @ 1080p) then it's pointless. SLI 760 gives huge amounts of performance for 1080p systems. However, if you wanted to play something like Star Citizen maxed out @ 1080p and achieve optimal performance then yeah a 980 is #worth. Also part of the reason I bought a 980 is because I am sort of addicted to the very idea of Star Citizen. But even so, games demanding like Star Citizen, BF4 ect perform fine with a single 760 let alone 2.
