SLI my 780ti setup or jump to 980 SLI?

Zaku77 · Sep 24, 2014

Okay, so I am at a complete loss on how I should go about this next upgrade for my system. First of all, here is my current setup--more or less. The processor is currently overclocked to 4.5 ghz.

I want to move to SLI. I know that my PSU can't handle two 780tis in SLI, so if I go that route, I will need a new one. The 780ti classy just dropped to $650 (with a $30) rebate from newegg. So I could go that route and upgrade my PSU. The other option is for me to sell my 780ti (for probably around $500) and upgrade to two 980 classifieds. Then I get faster cards, newer tech, and 4gb of VRAM rather than 3. I am really leaning towards that decision. My 750w PSU should support two 980s no problem, yeah? Any input on this would be really appreciated!

I would just get another one to crossfire since you already have a 780ti. No point in selling it for a 980 really.

^umm you don't crossfire nvidia gpus, you sli them... Anyways, get the 980sli, that should last u like 7-10 years before it gives you major problems. Also, go for the 4670k, a 4670k @4.4ghz = an 4570k@4.8ghz

Been talking crossfire all day and let that one slip. He doesnt need to change I5's. Nothing wrong with the one he's got. It also makes absolutely no sense to sell off a 780ti to SLI two 980's when he can just get another 780ti.

It should likely cost me the same amount of money either way here. As the 780ti will be $630, plus another $120ish for a new PSU that could support that. Or I can sell mine for about $500 and then get two 980 classys @ $600ish a piece and keep my current PSU. The cost should be about the same, so I'm leaning towards the 980s.

The performance difference would be minor in the overall picture.

I would probably go with the 980s, as because of dx12, plus all the new features etc. And when more drivers come out i'm sure the performance of the card will probably move up a bit.

I would wait for the cost to go down on the 780ti(and they will) before purchasing one. So maybe wait a little bit and watch the price. I already saw the 780 going down quite a bit.
