It would perform......eh.

 

To be honest, you're better off trading the current 970 for a 980 Ti.

In games that don't take up all the vram you'd get nice fps. But in vram intense ones you'd pretty much die. I'd opt for a single 980ti and maybe sell the 970 you have.

If you ONLY want Nvidia, I'd save for a 980ti not in sli if you could, If not then go for a 390 or a 390x in crossfire because of the vram, in 4k you will need more vram.

I would get a 980 ti . You will hit the 3.5gb cap very quickly , and not all games support sli ( JC3 )
