GTX 970 or GTX 760 sli

yungblood

I just worked 2 days and made $200. Now i can buy either another 760 to go with my 760 or 1 970 costing $200.

 

Which would you do, bare in mind that $200 is all i have.

You can buy GTX 980s all day for $200. Do that.

I see several on ebay right now for $150 even.

 

Go with a GTX 980

Well I guess I'm the only one that doesn't consider the option of selling the 760 to squeeze a few more bucks ._.

 

As they said, 980 wouldn't be bad

Good point!

 

Sell the 760 for $50 to $100 depending on the model and you can get a 980Ti for around $250 to $300!

**Without knowing the full system specs you might hit some bottlenecks at this point depending on the CPU, resolution, games played, etc.

Maybe OP is emotionally attached to the 760 kappa

 

It's all up to OP now tho, pretty solid advice you guys gave :P

If you sell the 760, you can try buying a 980.

Like they all said, sell your 760 and get a 980 or 980 Ti. I've got a 980 Ti paired with an i5 2400 (I know, bottleneck. But I'm only playing old games at 1680x1050), and it runs just fine. Massively faster than my 1050 Ti, even with the aforementioned bottleneck.

Buy a Gtx 1050ti for around £150

A 970, 980, or 980 Ti will be much better. I have a 1050 Ti and a 980 Ti, and there's a massive difference in performance.
