My mind keeps telling me no, but my body..... My body keeps telling me yes!

[RandomBadger]

Like a lot of people at the moment hmmm'ing and arrrrgh'ing about the recent release of 980ti, wondering if it's worth the upgrade.

Well I'm in the same boat, Im currently using a EGVA 780ti classified stock @1440p ( Rog swift ) but I'm having serious debates about upgrading, I have no plans for 4K to be honest so I have a couple of options I'm considering....

1. Sell the 780ti for a 980ti
2. Buy another 780ti for SLI

I'm trying to weigh up the Pro's and Con's of each but I'm stuck at a dead end

HELP ME!

 

[Permafrost]

seeing as you have a 1000w psu and staying with 1440p i would get a 2nd 780 ti.

but it i was to go for a 980ti and not full custom loop, git the evga one with a AIO

ps. i also in the same boat but with a 780 over 2 980's not a high end 780 ti and 980 ti...
but then again i'm going 4k for fallout 4 (see what i did there lol)

 

[Mysterae]

I don't think you need to have 4k to justify a 980Ti, you'll reap the benefits at 1440p certainly. Id' have a look at the benchmarks of games that you play and see if it's worth the cost - to you . No one will ill judge you if upgraded .

Yeah I know what your saying but I've got a serious 980ti urge, since when do we enthusiasts care about logic when it comes to needing to upgrade and wanting to upgrade The EGVA 980ti classified is calling to me!

As for Fallout 4 I've never played any of the previous games as I'm not really into that genre but looks pretty good so might give it a go.

Pros of sli 780ti over 980ti:
- 780ti sli will out perform a 980ti by around 14-18%
- Cheaper Option by around £100-120

Cons of 780ti sli over 980ti:
- 12 month from now they won't be worth selling (dead money)
- frame drop in some game will be much greater than a single card, maybe reducing performance and stability over a single 980ti

Pros of 980ti over 780ti sli:
- will hold your money much better than 780ti sli
- better stability
- full DX12.1 compatability/support (I think, but most certainly ful DX12 support)
- can upgrade to sli when you want to (maybe when they become as cheap as what the 780ti is now)

Excuse any typos, tad intoxicated.

I like your thinking, plus if I can shift my 780ti for a half decent price there wouldn't be much difference in buy a second to buying a 980ti.

what games do you play?

Games I play the most would be Arma 2/3, battlefield 3/4 but looking to expand my library with games like Fallout 4 maybe the Hitman collection and Ghost Recon Wildlands.

 

[theDTP]

I'd go with 980ti

 

[Permafrost]

i forgot to add this in on the i will judge you if you did got to a 980 ti

That's actually helped a lot, in the long run the 980ti seems the best option based on the pros over the 780ti.

 

[Bartacus]

If it were me, I'd consider waiting *just* a little longer, in case there are price cuts on the 980Ti's. That's the best choice for sure IMO, but I hear rumors about price cuts coming. Not big ones mind you. 980Ti is definitely the best long-term option.

Another pro for the 980ti over sli 780ti is that you'll get far better performance with games that don't support SLI on launch day, or won't ever - such as Wolfenstien.

Also, if you did get another 780ti and got used to that performance, a single 980ti would no longer be an upgrade path. Then you'll be calling the Multiple Graphics Card Addiction Support Line asking for help. Anyone got their number?
