GPU upgrade (maybe)

greetings and salutations

 

i've been thinking of an Graphics card upgrade, from my current 2x  evga gtx 980 sc acx 2.0  to a single  1080TI  (probably a evga icx or hybrid)

i play games like DOOM (2016) and mass effect andromeda at 4k and i dont know if the 4GB vram is gonna be enough for new titels in 4k

i'm also thinking, if i do get a 1080TI, maybe using one of my 980s as a dedicated physX card

so... is it worth it at this time?

 

than again the AMD vega is on the way, maybe i should wait to see what it has to offer...

 

thoughts? comments? questions?

Vega might have nice stuff, hard to know though, and even if it is great they might not have a card with 1080Ti performance

I'd say wait till Vega. Your current GPUs are still very good, so no rush in upgrading.
