Looking to upgrade from 770 to either 980 or 980ti

rredeye · Nov 30, 2015

Hello,

I am looking to upgrade from my 770, and I am looking to either get a 980ti or 1 or 2 980(s). I am upgrading my monitor from an Asus 23" 1080p 60Hz to a BenQ 27" 2k 144Hz, and I am pretty sure the 770 won't keep up with the gaming. What would be my best option?

I would prefer to get an MSI GPU, but it's not mandatory. Also, if I would need to upgrade elsewhere from my setup, let me know.

Current rig:

- MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard
- Intel i7 4770k CPU
- Corsair 850W PS
- Patriot Viper 16GB RAM
- Zotac GTX 770
- Asus 23" 60Hz 1080p
- Will be getting BenQ 27" 144Hz 2k
- EDIT: 2TB HDD and 250MB SSD.

Thank you,
RRedEye

If you want to do 2k (1440p) then 2 GTX 980's SLI'd would be great but I would say go for the GTX 980TI instead if you can.

Also if you don't have an SSD yet for your OS or long loading games you should try and get one.

A single GTX 980ti would be an extremely effective and straightforward upgrade.

A single 980ti can handle any game on the market (until you hit 4k resolution) with ease, and would avoid the possible issues that come with SLI cards.

Between two 980's and a single 980ti I would personally recommend the 980ti.

The single 980ti would perform very well and would be my choice for that resolution. The 2 980's would be a bit faster (when supported) but would cost more as well as produce more heat and noise.

I do have an SSD for the OS and my adobe stuff. Will edit. Thanks!

I just found a 980 Ti on Amazon for $460 a few days ago. I've been searching for a break in a game ever since (other than Batman and some glitches on BO3)... Also consider that the AMD cards are going to have a significant boost next year... So consider the fact that we haven't seen much in the way of Benchmarks in favor of Nvidia cards with DX12 right now.

Will note. Thank you.
