960sli vs 970

[scobie56]

2 960 in sli or 1 970

970. More VRAM to play with.

[Comessy]

970

 

2gb vram isn't enough

While you could get the 4GB 960s, you're better off with a single 970 - you won't have to deal with SLI issues.

I would get the 970 as it gives you upgradability to a second 970 in sli later.

Paul's hardware has a video on this, 970 is better.

That is a lazy thread if I've ever seen one. You don't list what games you play and what your rig is (especially resolution). Hell, your thread consists of 7 'words'.

960 sli wins in some benchmarks, loses in some others. some its performance is way too close to call. don't waste money on a 960 sli. on average you'll get roughly the same performance as a 970 but you'll have to deal with sli scaling in games. and some games have issues with sli at launch. if you go with the 970 you can always sli later for MUCH better performance. games like far cry 4 and tomb raider scale well with a large lead on the 970 but most benchmarks are closer, like the ones i've shown.
