Should I sli my 980 or buy a 980 ti

[clevercouple]

I already have a Gigabyte G1 980 but not really a great overclocker had to go down to 1480 Mhz for stable. I play at 1440p should I sell and get a 980 ti, maybe a Fury or Fury X or buy another 980? I have some extra cash right now but couldn't buy 2 980 ti's. I intend to keep this set up for some time and have heard mumblings about DX12 and Maxwell not being able to uses async compute. I have no loyalty to either Nvidia or AMD. I could always wait but I think the next series of cards are going to be a long while out.

2 980's will crush anything and will cost less money, assuming you have good case airflow I'd get a second 980

Just got my EVGA 980ti classified, waiting for the backplate to come from EK, to add the 980ti to rig.

you already got a 980, you might as well SLI'em as they scale reasonably well

id sell the 980 and get a 980ti and maybe another down the road, like you said your card isnt great overclocker so your second card can only go as far as your first which means bad oc for both, get a 980ti (or fury X) you will get better performance then a single 980 (obviously) and you wont have to deal with games bugging out if they dont go well with sli

In this case, I'd go for another 980.

I am selling my gtx 980. I am tired of the Nvidia shenanigans. I just purchased a new 8gb 290x on Amazon for 299.99 after rebate maybe I will buy a second depending on temps. The memory 3.5 for the 970, the narrow bandwidth, now the async compute. I am done. AMD has been innovating with low level API's and HBM. What has Nvidia been doing? I feel like they are the Apple of the PC world a very closed garden, proprietary world that is taking advantage of there consumers. If AMD had a cash injection and could have better driver support there would be no reason to shop Nvidia. I just cannot support them anymore. I have been trying to turn a blind eye to the facts but a good consumer should consider the company they are doing business with. I am sorry but I had to get that off my chest. Thank you for your answers Sorry for the tyrade and I will get off my soap box now.
