Need advice

Go to solution Solved by ShadowCaptain,

I have seen a palit gtx 970 for only $363

 

But why do you NEED sli? a single 980 will get 60fps in almost every game at 1440p

 

and in a game with no SLI you will get lower performance

i have a 980 and I was thinking of selling it and replace it with sli 970s do you think its a big gain or waste?

 

What resolution do you play at? the 980 IS better, and you will probably not be able to sell it for the amount you bought if for so you will lose money

 

also you will get worse performance in games that do not support SLI

You already have it, I suggest keeping it.

id keep it because : 

 

1 is always better then 2 if the 1 is more powerful

and because you:

 

1080 at the moment but planning to go to 1440... 

 

 

and get an SSD as soon as you can. its FAN-TASTIC.

may your framerates be high and your temperatures be low. #pcmr

If you can get a good price it might be worth it

 

BUT a single 980 does a pretty impressive job in 1440p on its own, my 780ti is still kicking ass at 1440p

I can get both models of 126gb for $90 USD(after convention) it's either plextor m6s or crucial mx100 but i could get a mx100 256gb for $120
