690 or 980?

[User(s)]

I can buy a used EVGA 690 from my brother barley used for $400

Or just add the money for a new 980? My case / psu can support both so no worries there, cooling will be fine as well.

Just curious as to what one to get. 

(I will be gaming on two 1920x1080 monitors)

i would say 980ti save more money.

Fuck I'd take a 970 over a 690 let alone a 980. DX12 and hdmi2.0 alone are enough for me to make that decision.

Between those 2 i would go with the 980.

But the 690 will have better performance in games with good SLI support.

 

But personally i would just **** both and go with a 970

The 980 performes better, but the 690 still kicks ass.

Didn't think I'd get so many replies so fasts. Is the added $150ish for the 980 worth it? As in will it get higher fps in newer games, ark survival evolved, etc.

even a 970 should be enough, i'd get a 9xx card instead of a 6xx because of power consumption. personally, i would go for a 970 or save more money on a 980ti

Ehh, I'm not really worried about power consumption I just want the higher fps card what will be future proof for gaming, etc. I think I'm more leaning on a 980.

IMO the only nvidia cards worth getting right now are 750ti, 970 and 980ti. I'd get a 900 series card over a dual gpu 600 series card any day. 980 is way too expensive for what it is. It made sense when it was the strongest gpu out there, but right now I don't see a reason to get it.

Decided to get the EVGA SCC GTX 970 things a absolute beast.

Not at 1080P unless you dont plan on upgrading the GPU for another 3 or 4 years. The 980ti is for high end 1440p and mid range 4k gaming respectively.
