Which gpu i should choose?

[awesomenatorrad]

Hi guys, I am building a rig with three 4k screens. What gpu in 4 way sli should i choose to get around 40-60 fps in metro last light with settings to max? Should i wait for the gtx 980 ti or r9 390x because gtx 980 is not powerful enough?

I would look at waiting for some more badass, >1 core GPUs to come out with the maxwell architecture. Unfortunately, because of Nvidia's release schedule, this could be another year away.

I also would be concerned by the 4-way SLI. As you could see in Linus's video, SLI just ​don't scale very well so it's probably best avoided in 4-way, where 2-way is definitely the sweetspot. Maybe you could have a better gaming experience with fewer higher end cards.

Honestly dont know what card can get 60fps in 3 4kscreen lol

double 295x? Iono

[xAcid9]

You need 2x 980 for a single 4k monitor so for 3 you need 6x 980. Yeah just wait till Pascal.

[the crunchiumo]

get 4 980s with the 8GB vram when they come out

thats too far away even further than the GM210

[XiaoPineApple]

Think nvidia already confirm thats a no

[awesomenatorrad]

I will also overclock all my gpu to around 1600 to 1850 mhz with custom capacitors so i would think with the oc, I could get high fps with 4 gtx 980 ti, r9390x or titan x.

That ain't happening

[awesomenatorrad]

But i am asking which one is better r9390x, gtx 980 ti or titan x.

[theKumba]

Either 2 Titan Zs or 2 R9 295Xs could get closest to what you want, but probably neither of those can do triple 4k in games.

The best thing would be to get a triple 1440p setup with 2 or 3 GTX 980s

[Brandogg255]

If you want smooth 4k gaming i would wait and see if NVIDIA release a GTX 980 ti and go 2 way sli or wait for GTX 1080 and 2 way or PASCEL

[XiaoPineApple]

But i am asking which one is better r9390x, gtx 980 ti or titan x.

How can anyone know which one iz going to be better when none of them release anyting to us lol

4 titan black with 3x 4kscreen is only 50fps at most. Come back after 2 more gen for real triple 4k experience

[KingDaddyDaniel]

If you can find a motherboard and CPU that supports 8-way SLI then get 4 of the r9 295x

[LiamApex]

Go for 4 way 980 sc edition or get a water-cooled version so you can over clock allot more

Lol isn't this a troll thread? No offense

NEVER go up to 3way or 4way sli/CF!!!

I think you should wait and see 390X and 980Ti. I think they may have the power to run 4k with single card.

If not, 2way SLI 980 should work.

PS: Metro  have really bad support for SLI or CFX.

[harharri]

Now triple 4k is near impossible right now so maybe dual titan z but it wont be great or a 4 way with 980s but thatll cause some really high temps (dont even try more than 2 titan Zs) Also new cards are coming out soon so wait untill then if you want 4K

 

[harharri]

Oh and there probably wont be a 980 ti but there will be a 970 ti

I think you're a little ahead of your time. Even 3x 1440p is a pretty absurd resolution. Even if 4-way SLI or Crossfire was enough raw firepower for 24.8 megapixels, 4-way GPU configurations are poorly supported and often provide inconsistent gameplay experiences from one game to another. If you managed 40 FPS in one game, another might be completely unplayable.

 

I don't think triple 4K is going to be practical until you can get reliable framerates with, at most, a two-card configuration.

i don't think any graphics cards now will be good for a configuration like this i would wait for the 390x it has a reference water cooling design.
