Help me to chose GPU!

[TonyTheNain]

OK so i posted about buying a Gigabyte 980ti XTreme gaming to replace my Titan X i just sent back to NVIDIA. Now, i'm in the phase of buying a new card. 

Since i do not have any graphics cards, i'm using my old EVGA 970 SC in my PC. But now i'm hesitating on the 980ti. I red that 970 can have the same power of a 980ti.

Should i go with my choice of 980ti or 970 sli? Or even 980 sli? (I have a 1500$ CAD budget) 

 

I don't want any ''wait for pascal''.

 

Thank you

What is your 970 not doing that you would like your gpu to do?

[samcool55]

what about fury x?

 

And it's better to stick to a single card, with SLI/crossfire performance being quite horrible in some titles it's not worth it.

Nvidia and AMD are like 4 weeks away from massive releases. Now is a stupid time to buy a GPU.

 

I also echo @Sat1600 's question, which is what exactly are you trying to do that your 970 is struggling with?

Then 980ti is your best option. Other options won't really make much sense.

What resolution? What framerate? What games, for that matter?

1920x1080 on a 60hz 5ms monitor (buying a 144hz 1ms gsync with my new gpu)

A 970 should be plenty for that.

I want to go on ultra settings, can ''only'' do high settings with that

 

Since i'm a big player of Rainbow Six Siege, i want to do ultra mainly on that game, i can only put it a high settings

And you want something better than the 970 that you have I guess that leaves only the 980 ti

Like I said, a GTX 970 should be plenty for that. Are you sure the GPU is the problem? Worth looking at before you drop £500 on trying to solve it.

These are the the exact settings i have.. I want to do msaa and go on ultra... There is no msaa or ultra in this vid

...so what you're saying is that you want to spend £500 on a GPU that will enable you to load half of the pixels of your display four, eight or sixteen times.

 

MSAA is ridiculously demanding, for little real benefit. If jaggies are bothering you try FXAA or something. Don't spend such an extreme amount of money just because one of the most demanding forms of Antialiasing causes your gpu to not run at 120 fps any more.
