Hello again!

I was wondering if it would be a good choice to update from a GTX 690 to a GTX 980. Is it worth the money? Could I run these in SLI? (I don't have much knowledge about Nvidia's SLI, I know AMD doesn't care much about different cards).

Thanks,

Sapphire ~

No, and no, it's more of a side grade. I'd wait till a 990 or similar, you can find a tier list here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/t/graphics-cards/ , on the last page of the "Best graphics cards for the money [Month] [year]" a worth while upgrade should be 3 tiers up.

Go to the "Best Graphics Cards of [month] [year]" (currently September 2014) and go to the last page. you will see a table. Find your card. Go three cells up. That will be a good upgrade. (not that there currently isn't a three tiers up, so no good upgrades)
