I agree go with two 970 will be better than on 980 and not cost that much more.

Go with a GTX 970 no matter what. Almost same performance but way more bang for the buck.

yes and the 970's would give you a 60-70 percent performance gain over a 980 in real world with bad scaling which wil improve in future driver revisions to possibly 70-80%

There are often games (usually badly optimized ones) where the GTX 970 performs almost the same as it's bigger brother. I'd get the 970 just for cost effectiveness. If you want the absolute maximu, the 980 is of course no stupid choice but not the most effective. ;)

who cares...
