What an upgrade!

[Chelsi_Gamer]

Going from a 1.5gb gtx 580 at 1440p to 2 gtx 970s! It feels like a whole new world!!!

[dizmo]

Is it glorious?

I'm still waiting to retire my 1.2gb GTX 480...

[MrGoat]

I did a similar upgrade, but a 580 to a gtx 980. It really is one hell of an upgrade. That's what happens when you skip a few gpu generations.

 

ENJOY!

[Chelsi_Gamer]

My new z97 setup should arrive tomorrow. I have a slightly oc'ed 1100t so the old pci-e isn't helping.

[Bhav]

It was enough of a whole new world going from SLI 680s to 970s, I cant image how large an upgrade it must have been for you.

[PirateCoffee]

I'm going from a GTX 560 to a GTX 970.

 

Wish the new card would get here already.

[Bhav]

Seriously you should get two.

[anon3na]

Seriously you should get two.

I think a bit more context about the panel is required before recommending SLI... A single 970 would be fine for the average 1080p 60hz and a 2nd should only be considered if either of those are exceeded.... Even then SLI and crossfire will always run into problems with micro stutter, driver issues, etc down the line

If u can get away with a single gpu, for a reasonable price always go for it...SLI and crossfire have come a long way but there are still rough edges to smooth

I'm going from a gtx 430 to a 970 xP

430 is shittt

[IcarusLSC]

I'm building a system right now, going from a GTX 480 so anything will be a boost and nice break from the heat and power! I can cook eggs in here on my desk when I close the door and get a gaming spree going!

[s4spencer]

went from a 7950 to a 970

Wasn't expecting much and didn't get much considering I have 2x1080p (one of which is normally shut off)

 

but god damn its cold in here now ;(

[Chelsi_Gamer]

Not sure if I should upgrade to 4k from 1440p or get a secondary 144hz monitor.

[Jey R.]

Nice for you . And nice setup btw

[Real_PhillBert]

I know that feels bro. I just went from a 570 to a 980, my 3Dmark firestrike score literally tripled lol

[Garuger]

I am going to go from a GTS 450 to GTX 960

[OhhTee]

I thought I was cool with my 660ti to a 980. Guess not.

[renz62]

I'll be getting mine soon. GTX 560 to a GTX 970! HUGE FPS BOOST!

Nope, stop thinking, just get two. You know you want to, look at how pretty they are:

i know what that feels like, in got past 100F for me with my duel 6950s, and my current duel 290s, the... well... hot.

[RushTfe32]

I've just bought a 970 too, I've sold my old gtx550 in order to buy it. So right now I'm with Intel HD graphics until my 970 come home. That is a big boost. I'm killing my hype playing age of empires 2 hahaha

[Hodor]

I went from HD 4650 to r9 280x. Mind blown!

[Bhav]

That's nothing close to a 970, silly Hodor.
