980ti or SLI 970s?

What's the better option?

>inb4 R9 390x crossfire
>>
>>53387868
the 970 is one of the worst cards to SLI. In that kind of setup, you're likely to use over 3.5GB VRAM and then your very expensive gaming machine will shit itself.
>>
>>53387868

980ti, don't be retarded. What do you play on doing anyway?
>>
>>53387868
980ti

It will also last longer in general.
>>
>>53387919
You're retarded.

OP is retarded for considering spending 700 dollars on GPUs on the eve of 14/16nm finFET releasing.

OP stick your money in the bank and don't touch it for 6 months, you'll thank me later.

>>53389368
>on the eve
Shit's coming out in fucking september or later

Try again.

Nope

>>53389429
Believe what ever you want retard. if you're OP, go ahead and waste your money, if you're the dumb fuck that thinks 970 SLI isn't a good idea for what ever reason, then fuck off even further because .... Literally I am not even going to argue with your dumbass over the 970, Because I'm done.

What kind of stuff do you guys do on your computer that requires this much processing power?

Do you guys really spend that much time on games? There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't understand how playing games justifies the cost of these setups, unless you're swimming in cash.
>>
>>53389491
Well spending that much on a 980Ti can be justified for entry level 4K.

Still a waste though considering there will be much more suitable price performance cards and cheaper 4K monitors.

>7gb vram

>>53391260
It's all used by dx12 already

HURR DURR YOU'RE RETARDED CAUSE I SAID SOO

kek

All this reply makes me think we're on /v/
>>
>>53389491
I usually jerk off to pixel counts and 8K textures
>>
>people actually consider spending hundreds of dollars on defective hardware
>>
>>53391350
that's because the majority of /g/ left to reddit

then /v/ is slowly going to merge with /g/
>>
If you're going to spend that much you might as well mortgage your house (again) and get quad Titan X's.
>>
>multicarding
>ever
Multicarding is ALWAYS retarded.
DX12 makes it less retarded but still, this is like a demotion from 200% retard to 120% retard.
>>
4x 980 ti
>>
>>53389457

>if you're the dumb fuck that thinks 970 SLI isn't a good idea

My sides anon, stop it.
>>
>>53391260
I know you must be just joking, but in SLI all the cards have identical information stored in the VRAM, so effectively the system still has 3.5 gigs of RAM and this makes the 970 SLI nonsensical.
>>
>>53394019
3.5 gigs of VRAM of course, silly me.
>>
What's you're resolution?

And don't ever listen to g about GPU, they'll call you a retard for not buying one that's 5 years old and the rest will scream "No wait! The xxx series is right around the corner! Just wait 3 months!" and in 3 months they say the same.
>>
>>53387868
Always go single card, multi-GPU is basically a complete meme.

It's pretty sad that /g/ has come down to this. A majority of posts are freetards, tech-illiterate /v/-fags and underage b8 now.

Of course I'd never admit going to Leddit on this board. :^)

>>53394141
>you're resolution
:^)

You're retarded though. We're very likely going to experience the biggest performance jump since about five years. It's definitely worth waiting now, unless you _really_ need a new GPU right now. Polaris/Pascal is going to launch in six months tops.

gosh Nao is cute

980ti for 4K 30fps
2x 970 for 1440p 60fps

Wait for Pascal
