Worth Upgrading?

[bloodhunter]

If you look in my sig strip you can see my current hardware.

I fancy a GPU upgrade to one of these

How much of an improvement will get generally speaking.

Thanks'

Up to double in certain games I reckon.

agree with opethdisciple... uses less power, can clock the **** out of it, lower temps and more powerful... definitely worth the upgrade

but your 1250w PSU is overkill

You'll get a big step-up from a 770 to a 980, but what res do you game at?

this turns out to be quite important. If you play @ 1080p then the difference is not very large in the sense that you can feel it or not since you already overclocked your GTX 770 to very high. If the res is bigger than 1080p then there is like a big leap.

The 980 is'nt very good value for money.

You could get 2 x 290x, a 295x or 970SLI for similar money and all would wipe the floor with it.

Not everyone wants SLI though. Im sure he has considered that

No, that's an assumption not based on anything.

SLI is good but you don't always get double performance with two cards.. depending on the drivers, the motherboard and the cards themselves, I am sure its around 70% performance increase or similar...

And the application I want it for does not support sli.
