Hey guys! Hope someone answers my noob question.

I'm looking to get an "upgrade" err sort of... Thing is, I have a 1st Gen GTX Titan, Been running well and I have it for 3 years now. My main question is, based on performance, which would be a better path?

 

1. Keep the GTX Titan
2. Buy 2 GTX 780 and have them on SLI (They are cheep from where I come from)
3. Buy a GTX 980 ti

 

Thanks! Hope you have a good day!

GTX 1070 would be best but 980ti is cheaper atm so get whichever u want. They both perform exactly the same. 1070 has more Vram and consumes less power. 

SLI will never run 100% correctly because nobody cares for it and devs just do what they can with time they have.

Connection: 200mbps / 12mbps 5Ghz wifi

My baby: CPU - i7-4790, MB - Z97-A, RAM - Corsair Veng. LP 16gb, GPU - MSI GTX 1060, PSU - CXM 600, Storage - Evo 840 120gb, MX100 256gb, WD Blue 1TB, Cooler - Hyper Evo 212, Case - Corsair Carbide 200R, Monitor - Benq  XL2430T 144Hz, Mouse - FinalMouse, Keyboard -K70 RGB, OS - Win 10, Audio - DT990 Pro, Phone - iPhone SE

Err... soo noob, don't even know how to reply on specific comments. Anyway, thanks guys! Really helpful feedback here. I guess I'll ditch the 780 SLI eh? 

@Aytex/Thony/Enderman:
That offer is sick! Sadly I cant take advantage of that, as postage to my country will be very high. The cheapest 980 ti that we have here would cost me around $380. On the other hand the cheapest 1070 is at $440, $60 difference, you think it's worth it? Also will it make a difference if I bought an after market 1070? I saw on called "Virtual Edition" from Galax. Card design looks like one of those old GTX 560, with the sticker thingy...

If you don't have any problems with your current card and you can play everything on max, why bother upgrading?

Depending on your budget go for RX480 in crossfire or 1070 in SLI even 1080 in SLI .

Having owned two of those cards, I can say it would depend on the game and res played. I sold them for two 980's then sold those for two titan blacks. Considering a 1080 now.

I would get what ever is in your budget,  whether its a 980ti, 1070 or 1080.

Spare RIg Lian Li O11 AIR MINI, I7 4790K, Asus Maximus VI Extreme, G.Skill Ares 2400 32Gb, EVGA 1080ti, 1080sc 1070sc & 1060 SSC, EVGA 850GA, Acer KG251Q 1920x1080@240hz

Not an AMD fan, been there, and SLI or CrossFire is out of the options now.
