I'm looking for a decent GPU to add to my custom pc, was wondering if i should get a GTX 980 or R9 290X i want to play witcher 3 at at least high settings when its released or is sli or crossfire better for same price ratio i have 750 watt psu and don't want to replace that too. Thanks for any replies.

Well for dual cards your 750w PSU will be fine for sli 980's if its a good quality one but is not strong enough for crossfire 290X's which really need a good 850w.

What resolution do you want?

To be honest I cant think why you would go the 290X route.

GTX970 beats the R9 290X in most benches and would be my choice since cheaper and 2 will run fine in SLI on a quality 750watt PSU.

For sure I would get the GTX980 over the 290X today.
