Hey all

 

I have two GTX Titan's (SLI)

Would it be worthwhile upgrading to two GTX 980s?

I am a gamer, I use a Dell U3014 30in 2k monitor.

I am thinking about getting one possibly two 4k monitors, most likely 27-28 inch

 

Thanks for help

Keep the titans, 6GB of vram will help with 4k textures in the future if you're planning on buying 4k monitors.

You'd probably get better fps with dual titans on 4k due to the 6gb vram

The gain in performance is just not worth it, unless you want to be on the bleeding edge of tech. But remember that will your wallet will also be bleeding cas

 

 

P.S. the extra frame buffer on the Titans will help a lot in dual 4K
