Currently running on 980 SLI

 

Im seriously thinking about going single card, selling up and just getting a 980ti. I run a rog swift i understand 980 sli is better for frame rates but im sick of all the issues and headaches that come with SLI. Stutter, driver support, frame time inconsistancy, loss of features like MFAA and DSR to name but a few. 

 

Anyone else thinking along these lines, do you think i should just go ahead and do it?

 

Thanks for all opinions....

Not worth it. You will lose money and framerate. Games that cause problems you can just run with one card, 980 is not that slow after overclocking.

I think the chips on 680s are faster then the ones on a 690..at least I know that used to be the case on the X90 cards. the ones I have are also OCed from factory.
