I think that if you were to add it to your current build listed on your profile you cpu might bottleneck it so keep that in mind.

 

P.S. Don't forget to follow your own topics so that you are notified when someone posts.

Also his display is a 60hz 1080p projector so dual 280's is sufficient.

It is but Im looking for a 4k screen in the future plus there are some games I can't run such as project cars plus the crossfire on the 280s are useless. there are only a few games that use the crossfire most of them I need to turn it off or ill get texture issues or just overall worse performance. 

 

About how much longer would y'all think the wait would be? I mean are we talking weeks or months. I see new egg is allowing preorder on the G! but thats another week and half wait plus shipping wait time?!?!

I would at least wait until the R9 300 series comes out.

Ive considered this but I don't AMD hasn't been its strongest lately and even if its better then the 980ti to titan will it be worth it in the long run, I mean Ive been an AMD fan Ive never owned a Nvidia card and 90% of the PCs I own or oversee are AMD PCs. 

 

I not saying AMD is bad but I want to see how the Green team is and how that experience will be.

 

Also 300 series will be a rebadge if I'm correct only the fury would be a truly new GPU and it only has 4GB Vram I know its HBM but id feel better with a bit more for future games....

One thing is certain, the 980ti wouldn't see a price cut

Why do you get powers that let you see into the future, that's no fair.
