Hi not been following the gfx scene for a while just wanting some advice on upgrading from crossfired 670's? budget is around £500 is a there anything around the corner to hang on for? or should I just got for a 980TI, looking at Nvidia really.
 
your cards are about a 980 gtx performance so tbh id wait.

is it worth the outlay for a 980 ti over your cards ?

see difference between a 980 and a ti and see what it will cost you.
 
Ok thanks for the advice, didn't think they were still powerful enough for recent games, maybe I need to look at my system, seems to be struggling on recent games, I have 6gb of ram and a i7 920 2.2ghz processor clocked to 4ghz, if hardware is ok maybe I need to do a reformat as it's been a while. I am gaming at 1080 @ 120hz with eye candy on as much as possible, otherwise may as well play on my lads ps4 :-)
 
Depends on the SLI support of the game in question to be fair, a lot have released lately with pretty bad SLI support out of the box. But I'd say the i7 920 is maybe getting on a bit now if you want all eye candy and I assume you have the 2GB 670's? that will impact it too if it's the case!

wouldn't suggest a reformat unless you're adding some SSD's as disk speed makes a huge difference to the smoothness of my games at least
 
I was in the same boat and while you can cope with 2GB VRAM, I was finding I was having to turn down more and more settings to get new games to run at any decent level.

I'd say go for the 980ti, you'll be sorted for a couple of years at least and not have to think about GFX settings for a long time. Your old 670s should sell for about £70 each as well so you can recoup some of the cost. I actually went with a 980 personally (should have waited for 980ti) which means I haven't seen a huge increase in FPS, but no more SLI or VRAM issues to worry about.
 
Using Sli 4GB 670 never found a need to OC them a hard decision to upgrade, as above for 1440p.

My only options are a 980 Ti if l what a single GPU or Titan if The Boss will allow.
