980SLI or 980ti on 1440p

[jurian123]

Sup guys, 

 

Currently i have a 860 watt psu is that enough to power 2 980s?\

Or 

Should i go with one 980ti ? 

 

Let me know

You should go with one 980ti, but it would be enough for 2x980.

Depends on your components check their TDP values and add them up

[Acquire]

860 is technicality enough to power two 980 Tis, but you'd be pushing it. I'd go with a 980 Ti.

TDP != power comsumption

 

And yes, 860w is more than enough for two overclocked 980s. Each one draws ~300w overclocked so yeah.

For 1440p dual 980s are amazing.

[Rolling Potatoe]

Id go with a single 980 ti and overclock it like stupid, plenty performance for 1440p, better price/performance, more vram and less trouble.

Btw, why the heck does a 980ti cost 660 $ in the USA and 760 Euro in Germany when an Euro is worth 1.12 $ .
