Go to solution Solved by DND,

Yeah, but a decent 980 costs almost 600€ here :( so I could try OCing a bit those 760s I have? \

yeah you could just go oc those babies out and maybe just upgrade to a better cooling? it would cost you much less rather than having to upgrade.

Heeeeelloooo :)

 

Yesterday I was thinking (which is a rare thing for me, lol)... right now, I have two EVGA GTX760 in SLI and I was wondering, if I should switch to one, more powerful GPU, and if so, which one?

The GTXs are not that old, so I could get a decent amount of moneyz for them (I hope) and I have my old mobo and CPU around, so I can sell those too and that would technically be my budget (with some spare change) - 500€ (608USD). 

 

I know, that a GTX970 would not outperform my 760s, so AMD maybe? Is there a GPU, that would outperform my GPUs? I dont know, so I am asking you, the wise community :)

As stated, the budget would be around 500€ (608USD) and I dont care much for the color of the GPU shroud, as I could plasti-dip it to match my build :D

 

Thanks

I would ask you not to upgrade.

dual 760s are really strong (i think they are about a single 980 performance)

 

People need to stop throwing cash away just because they have them IMO (no offense)

i think if you overclock the gtx 980 a bit more its stronger

Stick with the gtx 760s for now, no point in buying something newer for a very small performance increase.

The EVGA ACX cooler is fine, but maybe I can switch out the stock fans in my H440 for better airflow... Thanks for the help :)

Oh i see. yes you can do that. did you already put fans in the top panel? That case is really good just got mine a few days ago and it looks so frickin sexy :)
