hopefully soon i'm going to be building my new pc and i'm wondering if the MSI Geforce GTX 980 Ti 6gb would be better than 2 radeon R9 270x 4gb editions. I already own the 2 radeons and if they would be just as good or almost as good as the nvidia card, i can just carry them over to my next build. If you need any more details on either my current setup or my future build just let me know.

Definitely the 980 Ti.

The 980Ti, but still, 270x in CrossFire is a good option if games scale well.

That's the problem, the games that properly support crossfire are far and few between

If the 270x CF is doing you OK for now, then I think it wouldn't be wise to spend money on a 980 Ti when there is a new generation of hardware right around the corner. And wait for Polaris from AMD, because there are some suggestions that Pascal might be disappointing. Also, even if you still want a 980 Ti, their prices will drop when Pascal and Polaris come out.

I'm more wondering how that system came to be. And if the CPU is up to snuff...

It was a mess really, I just found some components that would fit with each other and put them together. Because it is all over the place is why I'm making a new and better build. I'm changing up from an FX 8320 to an i7 4790k.

Always go for single card vs. SLI/CrossFire. The support for SLI/CF in games is let's say questionable.

Yeah I've noticed, I was gonna go for just a single card if I could.

Yeah, as of right now the cards are doing great. The only bottleneck is my cpu which is an FX 8320. Shadows and shading really isn't this chips strong suit. But I think I'll just get the 980 ti and get the Polaris when I can.

Oh, ok. Because it wouldve been wasted on a 8320. 980TI + 4790K is fine. Though if you can, get the 6700K.

they seem very very close in performance, but i will consider it. got anything that could possibly sway my towards the 6700k?

Seeing as you already own the 270s, i would stay with them. New cards are just around the corner.

Wow! i got looking on newegg and the 6700 would be 10 dollars cheaper, or i could spend 30 buck more and get the 6700k. I'm not going to be overclocking but would the extra 30 dollars be worth that bit more of performance or should i just stick with the locked cpu?

i7-6700 runs at 3,5, i7-6700K runs at 4.0 (4.2ghz boost)

 

Especially if you won't be overclocking, the 6700K is best. Sounds weird i know. Also, make sure to pair it with some nice memory.

cheapest 3ghz memory should suffice. Though do pay attention to the timings a bit. Not worth saving 5 bucks for a CL18 vs. CL15 kit.

i kinda figured it would be the better option but i wasn't completely sure because I've never dealt with an unlocked cpu before. but thank for this info man, i really appreciate it!
