Is it really worth spending another $400 on two GTX 980's in SLI rather than two GTX 970's in SLI?

Will there be any noticeable difference in 1080p gaming?

2 970's is more than enough.

There is only about a 10% performance difference between the 970 and 980?

Actually, if playing on 1080p, what refresh rate does your monitor have?
Because for 60Hz, one 970 would be more than enough, and probably for higher refresh rates, one 980 can be enough. Only on some cases, two 970s would be useful....

The performance gains would be minimal against the money spent. Better to save that $400

I;m guessing that maxing out Crysis 3 or Battlefield 4 on 1920x1080 that two GTX 970's would come in handy?

At 60 fps at least, I believe that a single 980 would be more than enough to max those titles, according to Tom's review...
Still, I see that it's quite close, so it could be nice to have the extra power.
