Is it worth investing in a 980 ti at this point?

[Johnmakuta]

My GTX 770 finally died on me. I was hoping to wait till the new titan came out or something cheaper with close performance. I was hoping to at least last till the 1080 but it looks like the 1080 will be priced similar to the 980 ti and have similar performance anyway. Thoughts? Should I tough it out for a few months on my old 750 ti (I game at 1440p so frame rates will be shit).

 

PS - I obviously plan on reselling the 980 ti to buy a 1080 when they come out or wait till the 1080 ti or titan.

No. Get the R9 390X2. It's $800AUD has dual GPU chips, has 16GB of GDDR5 and comes with a free Razer Ouroborus. It competes with 2 GTX 970s (in dx11, at least)

if you plan to resell and can't live with the performance of the 750 then go ahead and pick up a 980ti now. You won't see a 1080ti for quite a while.

I guess go for the 980 ti right now and resell it because if you get dual 390's they are just going to drop in price after polaris

what resolution are you at?

1440p

at 1440p if your at 60Hz i would recommend a or 970,980, or r9 390 and if your at 120/144Hz then a 980ti would be worth it. Also I would avoid Sli/Crossfire as it often causes more problems than it is worth.

If you need it now and don't mind paying for it, go ahead.  It's not like a 980ti is suddenly going to suck the minute the new gpus come out.  It's still going to be a kickass card.

If the 1080 isn't a good upgrade over a 980 Ti you should probably go with an AMD card.
