Should I SLI my 780 or get a single 980 ti?

[johnnyTheMac]

Hello,

 

The title is pretty much my question. I have a Gigabyte Windforce GTX 780 GHz Edition. I can pick another one up for around $275. Would it be wise just to SLI for that price or try and sell my current 780 and put the money towards a 980 ti? Do games still struggle with SLI?

 

I game at 1080p @ 60Hz. Before I get an influx of, "It is not worth it for 1080p @ 60Hz" comments, let me just say that I know. Even though I game at that level, I want to be able to check everything in the settings menu. I am pretty much set do one or the other.

 

Thank you in advance for all help!

You'll always find better performance from a stronger (flagship) single card than two in SLI

Eventually in time you can always SLI the 980ti if need be.

4k would also be better in the future with a 980ti

With that thinking nobody will ever need to SLI

Wait another gen then get a large single card.. yes there are a few of the uber high-end boxes you can't tick but IMO buying now when you have a very good card and at that res / refresh is a waste of money..

 

If your really set on it, I'd go 980Ti and sell the 780 to help offset the cost.

 

Really is a waste though as the only settings I can think of are the uber ones in GTAV which give you very little in graphics quality and sacrifices huge ammounts of performance.. and from what I hear 30 fps is fine for it anyway..

Sell 780, Get 980Ti. Done. SLI in the future.

Well some games have issue with SLI, but GTX 780 SLI performs great.

 

But I'd say go with GTX 980Ti, better to have better single GPU. Less heat output also consume less power.

You can sell the GTX 780 if you want. Then get the GTX 980Ti, you can SLI it in the future which performs even better than GTX 780 SLI.

980Ti is really only necessary for greater than 1440P gaming.

Sell 780, Get 980Ti. Done. SLI in the future.
