980 vs 980Ti

[thefrostmizer]

So I am a game designer and currently have one 980 that i bought when i built my new PC in March. The question is should I sell my 980 and get two 989Ti's or just buy a second 980 to SLI with my current one.

Either way you are going to have a lot of horses in your pc enough for 4k gaming, if you are low on cash get another 980 if not go balls to the way and get two 980 ti's

Theres a decent performance difference between the cards... theyre based on different chips after all. But i dont think it warrants selling the 980 unless you really want the 6GB VRam of the 980Ti.

this guy kinda scares me BUT heres a comparison, ill leave you to decide i suppose

I think you're ganna use the 6GVram very much when creating the things, and the TI is WAY stronger

By "game designer" what do you mean? Are you making side-scrollers or open-world RPG's?

 

AFAIK, no one even needs a 980 Ti for game development, it's more of a luxury piece of hardware. 980 should suit you well and you'll be happy with it.

You might if you are doing CryTek, IDTech, or Unreal work and heavy realistic modeling for higher resolutions.    But, ya the type of games, the engine, sw, and tasks they are aiding with = part of it.

I am making a side scroller but also I game on tge same machine, and im using Unreal 4 that has already been eating both system memory and VRAM while causing my 980 to heat up and thats just sitting there doing nothing

If you can get a good price for the 980, go ti.. I doubt you need the extra horses but if you have the cash the RAM is nice for designers..

The 980 Ti will be much better for game development especially since it includes DirectX 12.1 support which will help you with game compatibility!
