Worth getting a new set of GPU's?

[Smurfin]

What if I sold them privately to someone who was willing to pay £200 each?

Depends if you like the person who's willing to pay that

Its totally worth it in my opinion.

I have SLI GTX680 2GB vanillas (similar to the GTX770 performance) and the SLI GTX970s.

One of the main reasons I upgraded was Vram as the GTX680s choked at 5760x1080 in BF4 at Ultra.

They are good performers and if they were 4GB versions they would run it fine.

Moving to the GTX970s I got a 4K monitor with them (Asus PB287Q) .

5760x1080 = 6.2 million pixels
3840x2160 = 8.3 million pixels

So the extra power from the GTX970s does help a lot.

The TDP for the GTX680 I have are ~195w while for the GTX970 is around ~145w so you should be fine with a 750w psu.

I got the Galax GTX970 EXOCs from OCuk

Reselling the free games would get you some extra change

Out of interest, how do you find 4k with SLI 970s?

Just a hypothetical situation really, wasn't exactly looking to upgrade for definite. Only speculating prices and such, deciding whether it would be beneficial or not for the long run.

Put your money towards a 1440p monitor then upgrade the cards.

To be totally honest very bad for new games but great for older games BF4 etc

The reason I say bad is because theres no multi gpu support so you basically have to disable SLI so you don't get strange stuttering (newer titles). Everyone has this issue ofcourse even on older GPU's.


When and if they release drivers and profiles I guess it will be fine.

A very nice thing is that they don't get hot and run very quite as I mentioned in another post even at 4K.
