Nah, won't do 4K. Get a better card, at least a R9 390X if you want to game 4K 30-40 fps even

ok and if i put an other gtx970 later on SLI ? 

No, you still have of effective 3.5GB of vRAM, not enough for many games at 4K. Plus, you get micro stuttering in some games with SLI setups.

A R9 390 now and adding another one later in cf will do better at 4K.

They will be too much stuttering issues with that, stick to with a better single card:

I was saying if they can only afford one right now and will be able to afford another one later on.

Yeah I know, but he will be better off if he sold his later one and bought a better single card. It's just not worth it right now unless games start optimizing better for multi GPUs.

no matter what card, 970 or 390, they wont perform well in 4k, even with 2 of them
soo... either op goes with 1440p gaming with these cards or get 980 Ti for 4k

just my thoughts, 4k is still not a pleasant experience for high fps gaming, no single card can push over 60 fps constantly with high settings and two cards is just so not optimized yet

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately
