Posted April 5, 2016 This will be used in a multi monitor setup for gaming, design, and rendering (currently 2x 1440p,but plans for 2-3x 4k when it's more affordable) Was planning to get either msi's 980 ti 6g oc or evgas 980ti classified but I wanted to check my options before spending the money.

Posted April 5, 2016 When you mean multi monitor setup do you mean something like Nvidia Surround/Eyefinity? If so i wouldn't expect any single gpu to be able to do it with in a good amount of time under $650, TBH I would wait for Pascal to see how much they cost and perform.

With dual monitors I'd just game on one and use the other for whatever, though I'm guessing you assumed that. With 3 monitors I'd game on all 3.

Posted April 6, 2016 Wait for Pascal/Polaris, and single GPU cards will not be able to handle surround 4K good at ALL. To get high settings surround 4K, you'll need some kind of SLI/Crossfire setup and basically just a kick-ass system with lots and lots of VRAM. Wait for gen cards, and if they are a flunk, 980Ti. If they are good, get the best you can from AMD OR NVIDIA for around ~$650.
