GTX 970 SLI vs Pascal

[iBazzPro]

Hi guys,

 

So I can buy a second hand GTX 970 for €280 in my country. A new one would cost me €360.

If I'd buy it, I'd probably buy another one half a year later and SLI them. In the end it would cost me about €550.

 

But since Pascal is only a few months away, I don't know what to do.

 

I don't play very graphically demanding games at the moment, csgo is doing fine at 50 fps with the GTX 645 I'm borrowing from a friend.

 

What should I do? buy the GTX 970 and SLI later, or wait a few months and buy a new, higher end Pascal card in a few months? 

I would like my PC to run as quiet and cold as possible, but it's not a major point.

 

Let me know what you think, I'm open for suggestions.

I would wait for Pascal without a doubt

What is your current GPU?

[Beeeyeee]

I'd wait. SLI can cause a lot of stupid problems and lots of games don't even support it. plus you could brag about your new card!

I'd wait. 970s & 980s look like they are going to be beaten soundly in DX12 games, and as such hard to recommend.

My current GPU is a GTX 645, borrowed from a friend. It's holding up fine though, so I think I'll wait.

 

Thank you!
