why sli, id just get a single gtx 1070 or 1080.

980 even does 1440p in most games nicely.

Source: I own a 980 G1 Gaming and it's run every game I throw at it, at high settings. Except Arma 3. Because R.I.P performance in Arma

1070/980/980ti will run 1440P comfortably. AMD 480 8gb would be fine also. For 4k better to go with a strong card so you can SLI later when games are harder to run at that res, so a 1080 for now

And be a hassle, and draw more power...

And no further expansion (PCIE sound card, storage, USB, 10Gb nic, Tv-Tuner, Raid)

No, and yes. But that's your fault for having a weak sauce power supply. Your power supply even lift Bro?

Greater undesired heat output into the room would only be helped slightly by having a very nice power supply...

Sig under construction.

What hassle? Plug em in, use the sli bridge and play. Very few games (big games anyway) have zero SLI support. I SLI'D (cant speak for crossfire) 2x 970's for around 17 months and only Just Cause 3 was an issue out of around 80 + games. Power shouldn't be a concern, if it is buy a console, PC's will always use more. Heat, well ye, I was on water

It would still consume less power than a single R9 Fury though xD

Great no one can give an answer around here. Great comments guys!

Basically

Get an RX 480 and leave it at that, it can do med settings just fine.

Get a 1070 if you can spend more.

If you want a cheap card that can do 4K when in SLI, get the GTX 970. It costs around $240 rn....

You can get a new 480 which performs better for that much (assuming USD).

Med settings really should be easy enough on most mid-tier cards nowadays.

Yes, but if you really like GTA or Overwatch, the GTX 1060 which costs just as much performs much better.....
