gpu , what should i do

[Craigst]

i have 2x sli gtx 770 sli msi 4gb currently , would it be worth swapping for the new gtx 980ti , looking at gpu-z spec says higher than the 980ti , exept memory clock is much faster

im thinking ahead for oculus rift


what should i do stay how i am or go for gtx 980ti ?

980Ti is faster than your SLI 770s, so if you can justify it, go for it.

Im moving from sli 780 to a single 980ti, just gotta decide on which one. From benchmarks ive seen performance looks similair but without the heat, power draw and issues you can get with sli. Also a higher vram count.

 

[Craigst]

yea all about justifying it , im thinking saving power i can sell the 2 gtx 770 to cover sum of the costs

ill get asus as always stick with them ,

starcraft i have issues wid so slow on sli , i class it as my bottle neck , as 16gb ddr5 ram and 8core black amd cpu should be fine

also if i change to mini atx this will work great

Starcraft 2 is extremely Single thread heavy.Almost certainly a CPU bottleneck with an AMD cpu rather than a GPU bottleneck

really have AMD FX-8350 black m i thought that will be good ?

When overclocked they are pretty decent CPU's.But they arnt as strong as intel CPU's.This is extremely apprant in Single thread heavy games like SC2.

Oc your cpu as high a possible,should help with the slowdown

Also 980ti deffo a decent upgrade over sli 770's.

thanks i have water cooler but not much experience with over clock , may slowly turn up over time

But with an sli config your definatly gonna be CPU bottelnecked in quite a few games with an 8350 at stock speeds.Definatly worth OCing to improve your overall gaming experience
