I am in a huge dilemma, I am using a GTX760 4GB, in GTAV I use 3.5gb of this 4gb so I am wondering if I should SLI this OR:
Get a 970 for £257.00
A 980 for £399.00
OR
A 980ti for £540.00.
What is my best bang for buck here? I have been debating this all day, wondering if I can have some input.

Depends on what resolution you want to play it at? Also, if your card is handling the game at the settings you want and resolution, why upgrade? You are not using all the cards resources, only about 85% of them. Though, if you want to increase resolution and settings...I HIGHLY recommend SLI 970's. They are the best performance/cost card on the market right now and SLI 970's out perform the GTX 980 on 4K with any top game at max settings. Also, the 980/970 have 4GB of VRAM just like the GTX 760 you have now. So, if you are looking to increase your VRAM getting those cards along will change nothing.

Your best bet, based on your budget, is to SLI 970's (about $600). They will provide a GREAT 4K experience on ultra with any game out there...

I just got my new system, see signature, and my plan is use the single GTX 970 for now. Then upgrade to GTX 970 SLI later when the price drops and/or I see performance issues in my games. Cheaper than a single GTX 980, more powerful overall, and cheaper if I buy them overtime when the price drops for the second one.

I am not getting the FPS I want in most games now; I am seeing stutters in just about all of them; I am 1080p @ the moment, but I wanting to go 4K in the next year, so maybe a 970, then SLI down the line is a good call.. thanks guys!
