In bed, asleep.
So I'm currently running a EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Superclock ACX 2.0 and am thinking of adding a second (with a 750w PSU). I play at 2560x1440 and like to try and have everything maxed.

Unfortunately OC don't have the card in stock anymore so I just wanted to know if I only need a card that matches mine clock for clock and if I end up with one that is slightly quicker the quicker card is down clocked to match? And what card would people recommend?
 
Yeh I get that. I'm not desperate for a new card, it's more I couldn't decide what I wanted for xmas, asked for a crap load of OC vouchers and decided on getting a second 980. From the (limited) Googling I just did it looks like Pascal will be 1H2016 so I could just save the vouchers (and then money) and buy whatever the top card they release is, assuming it's not some stupid £1000 monster.

That or grab myself a PG27AQ in preparation for Pascal and live with the down scaling... Ah decisions decisions. Maybe another 16GB of RAM?
 
If I added another 16 it would be for this: http://virl.cisco.com/

But I'm still trying to decide on if I want to push on with my Cisco certs.

Yeh I know the limitations of SLI, and generally prefer single cards. I hadn't been keeping up on the next gen NVidia and AMD cards so if I was being sensible I'd wait for them. That and given the fact the 980's are still pretty expensive the performance boost/cost probably doesn't cost in that well.
