Upgrade from sli 980ti

iamapowerfulwerewolf · Jun 14, 2016

Hello,
I have an sli of asus 980ti strix oc version and I want to know if upgrade to an sli of 1080 will be a good choice.
Thank you.

Yes.

Can you be more specific what you are looking for? What is your budget, what are you doing with it? and so on?

Will it provide a gaming performance increase? Most certainly. It will also give you access to the new technology associated with the new cards (Ansel, VRworks etc).

Is it worth it? Well, thats down to you. If you have the amount of spare cash lying around to blow on SLI1080s, then sure why not, but if your blowing your life savings, then no. Only you can answer that one.

Gallarian is right - it depends on you. Are you a 1080p gamer with no interest in VR? Probably not then. Do you have a Rift, Vive and 4k screen and plenty of spare cash? Probably worth the upgrade.

1080 is about 30% faster than a single GTX980Ti.
GTX980Ti is still noticeably faster than a single GTX1080. Well, SLI with all it's potential issues and that not all games support.
2x GTX1080s on SLI to replace your 2x GTX980Tis? If you have money, why not.
Is this worth it? Only you can answer.

BTW, I will be replacing my 2x GTX970s for a single GTX1070 or GTX1080 or anything from AMD (if any) late this year..

I wouldn't bother unless you have performance issues running something specific.
