Single card solution to replace SLI

[t-scene]

First of all I play a lot of early access games. (Just like the concept of small production non main stream AAA games)

Most of which don't support SLI a few do but I seem to get about the same or better FPS in some cases.

For example BeamNG.Drive which I can do about 60 fps.

 

I want stick with Nvidia because of G-Sync.

I currently have 2 GTX970's  I was thinking of doing a single 980 or Titian X.

Would a Titian X be overkill for 1440 at 144hz? and or for my 4790K system with 16gb of ram.

Either way I would sell my 970's to cover some of the cost.

Would I be off keeping my 970's or upgrading?

Titan X is the only single GPU equivalent to 970 SLI.

If you need a single card, I'd recommend the 980, or possibly the 980Ti

[GzeroD]

I would keep the 970's

if you must switch I would go for the titanX or wait for the 980ti.

the 980 is just too much of loss when sli works and too little of a gain when it wont work to be worth switching, at least in my opinion.

For now, you should keep the 970s. Are they performing bad at the stated resolution? Or are you planning on buying a monitor with that resolution?

If you can afford it, go for the titan x Then you can brag about it to your friends and such, and its the most powerful single gpu card out there atm, so yeah...

[Fluffinator]

980 and save some cash?

Not really performing bad at that resolution just sometimes performs better with SLI disabled.

Get fastest gpu you can afford plan and simple. If you can however wait the 980ti looks good if its released.

This is not always the best advice. Especially when someone is thinking about upgrading in the same product generation as their current setup.

i would wait for r9 300 series, stop letting that money burn a whole in  your pocket

[vembutech]

wait for r9 300 series GPU.

Not equivalent, better.

Its roughly equivalent to 980 SLI.

[Trolling]

Doing a SLI with a card that has 3.5 Vram seems like a huge waste for me.

[GzeroD]

Not equivalent, better.

Its roughly equivalent to 980 SLI.

Are you high?

[FruitBasketSilex]

Are you high?

No? I saw the titan x benches.

It loses to a 980 combo by about 7fps.

[GzeroD]

 

In terms of raw performance, SLI GTX 980 is certainly the faster option. However the benefit of the Titan X is that it would give you around 70% of the performance of SLI GTX 980

Nvidia Dissagrees with you.

I prefer to use non-biased sources, but hey, whatevs.

Whatever he does it will be the best choice for him. Even if its not the best choice to make.
