Need help deciding for a GTX980Ti

[RockiLocky]

Hey guys,

 

so I am looking towards getting 2 new GPU's meaning I would like to SLI 2 GTX 980Ti's. Now here comes my question:

 

Because there are sooooo many diffrent varients of the GTX 980TI out there I do not know which once to look at.

 

Space wise I should have the space in my case for all of them in a SLI configuration. Case is: Phanteks Enthoo Primo.

 

Hope you guys can help me out, also would a 1000W PSu from EVEGA, more specific the EVGA SuperNova G2 1000W be enough for SLI configuration so it doesnt botleneck them. I have a i7-5930k CPU which has a power consumption of about 340 iwht the OC and under load, which would mean the GPU's cannot have more then 660W meaning 330W per GPU. And I saw some of them get a power comsumption up to 480 if overclocked and under load.

 

 

Another Question what I would have is how hot should the GPU run max? If I am right one of the GPU's gets alot hotter in a SLI configuration because space limitation between them.

Well what do you want to do with the GPUs? What's the price range?

That PSU is plenty

You can either go with a reference GTX980Ti design, if you wanted the heat of 2 GPUs outside the case, but since your case is spacey enough I´d go with an EVGA GTX980Ti FTW card. They OC decend and EVGA is the best board partner for nVidia.

 

And to answer your question card #2 in SLI will get hotter by using a board partner design because card #1 will blow the warm air on the card. But you should have enough space between the cards (that only becomes an issue usually for 3way or 4way options and therefore custom watercooling or reference cooler) so it won´t be a problem at all.

 

Your PSU is good and sufficient.

EVGA GTX 980Ti FTW ACX 2.0

 

1000W is plenty.

[Xenift]

Well the colour factor is always key, would just grab the reasonably performing GPU accordingly.

Where you have seen that nonsense?  :huh:

Where you have seen that nonsense?  :huh:

Might be total power useage? idk 

[RockiLocky]

Well what do you want to do with the GPUs? What's the price range?

700$ max

 

 

Where you have seen that nonsense?  :huh:

I just googled i7-5930k power consumption D: and I googled power consumption 980Ti and there was a link saying 480W under load and OC was not sure if I should trust it though but I added it anyway

Yep

Well I would recommend the EVGA 980 Ti SC+ w/ ACX cooler for plain reliability, the Zotac 980 Ti AMP for the value (usually goes for cheaper than the others), Gigabyte 980 Ti G1 Gaming for some good overclocking.

What do you think about the Zotac AMP Extreme?
