What GPU (s) to get?!

Go to solution Solved by N1mp,

This may be a stupid question but would this motherboard support the 980ti? Also would the PSU be good enough? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-z97-gaming-3-intel-z97-s1150-ddr3-pcie-30-(x16)-2-way-crossfirex-displayport-hdmi-atx

 

Mobo will support 1 Nvidia card but it doesn't look like you could SLI it in the future.

 

Fork out another £15 and get this one instead: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-ga-z97x-sli-intel-z97-s1150-ddr3-pcie-30-(x16)-2-way-sli-2-way-crossfirex-d-sub-dvi-hdmi-at

 

You can run SLI or Crossfire in the future, whatever you prefer.

 

PSU should be enough for up to 2 cards in SLI / Crossfire (apart from the 295X2)

I'm having such a hard time deciding what GPU(s) to get for my new build which will be: i7 4790k, 16gb 2133mhz, 750w 80 GOLD PSU. There is so much controversy between AMD and Nvidia as you know, but then, there is also the problem with the 970 actually having 3.5gb of VRAM instead of 4gb. Here are the cards I could get, I'd love to know which would be best in the build I posted for 1080p-1440p gaming. Any opinions are appreciated.
 

SLI 970s
Single 980
Single 980ti
295x2


Thanks

Single 980ti.

I'm going to put a link to my PC specs which actually aren't my PC specs and I cry myself to sleep everyday so I can have these PC specs but I can't afford these PC specs so PC specs PC specs PC specs PC specs PC specs PC specs.

Single 980ti.

 

+1

 

I'm running 970 SLI which should perform just a little bit above a 980 Ti. If I didn't have the 970s, the 980 Ti would be the default choice.

 

Even with the 970s I'm dwelling between upgrading to a 980 Ti or even SLI but it would be more to please the little kid inside of me than to make reasonable decision.
