my 780ti paid for my 970. got rid of it once finally asus replaced it cuz of all the bad luck i had with asus tech department. nothing but constant issue. im glad im back to evga and i will have a second 970 im getting off a friend in a week or so for $200 so 970 sli for a total of $550 pretty good deal.
is worth it to me for the price im getting the second one, but for him not really. only reason i got rid of my 780it was cuz of how bad the asus rma went for so long
going sli on the 970 side will cost me nearly as much as a single 980... Going from a 780ti to a 980 yields barely any performance increase. see video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2QpCtsL5L0
Looking at review online 780ti sli runs nearly identical to 970 sli yet offers me the opportunity to not have to purchase a new power supply(150$ cost) will emit less heat as well as match 780ti sli performance this is why I would look towards the 970 sli route. Yes the 970 in games not optimized for sli will perform significantly slower than a 780ti but games that do optimize for sli will max out the 144hz 1080p BenQ monitor I have. I am how ever optimistic that by the point I have the cash to run this upgrade path there might be a GM200 based card out which if true according to rumors will offer 50% performance increase over the 780ti/titan black! My last option is to just straight up water cool my 780ti and run a custom bios and get that bugger clocked past 1300mhz.
I can get. My 970 t0 1500mhz np. Without messing with the voltage. Dude im so exited to get that sli 970 in a few days if everything works out. Would love to mess with 1440 again but im waiting on the oculus lol.
Yes the 970 OC's like a beast, Just testing got mine to slightly over 1500 and ran stable. I wonder how the 970 vrs the 780TI would compare after both OC'ed to there limits, 780TI def has a edge on the 970 stock but the 970 easily OC's
I would normaly agree PP but my 750w psu is a multi-rail 750w bronze efficiency psu. I imagine if I was to run 780ti sli on this psu I might have to use the actual molex to 9 pin adapter to split the rails properly.
