What should I do?

So, I've had my computer around two years now, building it up as time went on and buying whatever was new at the time of purchase and making it as best as it can be at what I seem to feel is a good price, however the time has come to upgrade my GPU again and my question to you is, should I jump to the newest generation of GPU and jump on a single 980Ti or should I stick another 780Ti in my PC and have 2x780Ti?

Id say a single 980ti is better. But, the real question is did you really ever feel like you needed that extra performance?

If you're staying with a single 1080p screen, I see no reason to upgrade at the moment. Unless you're not getting your 144hz.

 

980Ti if you can afford it.

 

Also, that 3770 is toasty! What cooler are you using on it?

I would get a second 780ti.  Especially with DX12 on the way with the added support for multiple GPUs

well if you can aford a 980ti that beter but do you need it?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

The 780ti is fine for now. If I were you, I'd get an SSD for a boot drive.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

I think they should be about neck and neck for raw performance, however the 980 Ti would probably be better because of the larger framebuffer plus all games should work with it optimally straight away (SLI can still be kinda finicky).
