Sell 2x 970 g1 gaming and buy 1070 or cf rx 480?

bughtoo
Go to solution Solved by bughtoo,

Its ok i desided to keep the 970 after some research i did the 970sli g1 gaming when oced to 1500mhz each, they are  10-20% faster in games that support sli.

 

I know about dx 12 suporting only one gpu so far :)

So i had the opportunity to buy these 2 beauties for 360$ with warranty on each of them at least one year.

I think i can sell them for 430$ together or maybe more. should i keep them or sell them and buy something like 1070 or cf rx480?

If you could afford a GTX 1070, then yeah, that would be the best choice over the Crossfired RX 480s and SLI'd GTX 970s.

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

u know the founders edition is 70 euros more expensive. Say an EVGA SSC 1070 would be the way to go or maybe even the sc, JUST DONT GO FOUNDERS

 

MSRP: $370

Founders: $450
