Question about upgrading my system

Delegates · February 19, 2016

Thank you all for taking the time to answer to me and my old post :).

I only have one more question to ask.

Question: I have heard that in not a long time, NVidia will come with a new edition of graphic cards. These will have the pascal chipset. Is it worth to wait for there graphics cards if i wanna upgrade or would you still say: go for the GTX 980 TI?

kind regards,

Old post

Good afternoon,

I have a couple of questions about SLI. I am not experienced with SLI but would like to try it out. I have heard alot of good reviews about it and i want to have some smooth performance with my pc if i play high end games.

Case: CoolerMaster HAF912 Plus ATX

Motherboard: MSI Z170A GAMING M5

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3500 1151 BOX

GPU: GTX 970 GAMING 4G

Memory: DDR4 8GB 2400-15 Fury Black K2 KHX

Drives: SSD 500GB 520/540 850 EVOBasic SA3 SAM + WD 2TB WD20EARX Green SA3

Powersupply: CoolerMaster G750M 750W ATX

Operating System: Windows 10 64bit

Monitor : Asus' VG278H 3D Vision monitor

First question is: If i would put a second GTX970 in my pc, would i need a stronger powersupply to keep my computer up and running?

Second question: I play a few different kind of games. For example i play Gta 5, Anno 2205 but also World of warcraft and League of legends. My question is if these games will be competable with SLI and if i will see the performance get better?

Sorry if my english is not the best, Its not my native tongue.

Hope to hear something soon.

You'll see a significant boost with SLI and that PSU is enough for it. That being said, you have the potential to run into issues with it so a single-card solution like the GTX 980Ti will be the better choice.

As for waiting for Pascal - you've got a GTX 970 and it's more than capable to keep you waiting until either Polaris or Pascal hits. I'd personally wait.

Nvidia graphics cards don't properly support dx12 which could be a problem in the future so I say wait for Pascal graphics cards as they will properly support dx12 and you will get much better performance from the newer gpus.
