I live in the UK but I can have it delivered to California where, I have people who can pick it up and bring it back for me, there working there but they dont mind to

Just in case you didn't realise, the GTX 980 Ti is available in the UK. It's available for £530 at Novatech, but I wouldn't want to buy the reference design.

In terms of what card, you first have to decide if SLI is worth it. You could pick up two GTX 970s for the same price as a single GTX 980 Ti, and you would get more performance, but there's also the inherent drawbacks of going with SLI, being increased power consumption, less compatibility, less usable VRAM. The compatibility and usable VRAM is up for discussion with the imminent release of DX12, but still.

Having watched the LTT video on the Fury X, it seems like the GTX 980 Ti would be the better shout. It's got more VRAM and is faster (in most cases). It also uses less power.

I'd go for that if I were you.

As a side note, the GTX 980 Ti is also cheaper in the UK than the R9 Fury X.

How much is the 980 Ti where you live?

If you can get it in your budget, get the 980 Ti.

530 pounds is 832 dollars he can save himself some money by buying it in the usa if he has that option.

You've also got to consider import tax, which will be $100+. And there's the issue of if you have a problem with the graphics card, not an issue, I'll take it to th- Oh wait, I bought it in America.

And then deliveries can get delayed, so it could take a couple of months. However, if his friend is bringing it back for him, then fair enough.

Still makes problems with the card a bit of an issue.
