Hi guys I'm new here and someone told me this was the best place to get tech help so here I am. Im thinking about buying a new graphic card with a 800 budget including new PSU but I'm stick on which to buy? 

My current setup is:

Asus Z170 Pro gaming motherboard

i5 6600K @ 4.4 GHz

EVGA SSC GTX 970 

16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR4

EVGA 500W gold

 

I'm stuck on buying another 970 for SLI 

Or a 980 to

Or a 295x2

Or a wait for the Fury x2 or NVIDIA new card ( assuming I can afford it)

Thanks!

Best option would be to wait.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Also agree, why are you looking to buy a new card? The 970 will get you around 60fps in even the most demanding games at 1080p

Then you're pretty much stuck with waiting for Pascal, and buying two GTX 1070.

Wait now. A pascal? You mean to say he should have bought a TitanXp? Would it not be smarter to buy a 1080TI. I know this thread is old but still..

Um on April 20th 2016 there was no GTX 1080 Ti nor Titan Xp. The GTX 1080 was still a month away at the time, the GTX 1070 a month and a half, and the GTX 1080 Ti almost a year away.

Believe it or not, I read this during April the 20th 2016 and I just couldn't wait for the future gpus so I traveled in time and bought the 1080TI. I also felt like replying to this. Believe it or not, the choice is yours.
