GabrielT Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Even if you go crazy with texture packs you will run out of rendering performance way before you run out of vram on a 970 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm_freek Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Even if you go crazy with texture packs you will run out of rendering performance way before you run out of vram on a 970 i agree i like the 970 just not enough to justify $300+ im sure evga will have some in b stock soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I would start with the bigger PSU if 4K playability is your goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabrielT Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Well if you are going to spend SLI money why not have a 980 and skip the problems associated with dual gpu setups? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdm_freek Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Well if you are going to spend SLI money why not have a 980 and skip the problems associated with dual gpu setups? i am looking at a open box gtx 980 for $455 but its not evga and i feel i should wait til the 980 ti come out beacause buy then i would have squirreled back more cash plus the 390x should be out and (may) effect pricing but as stated before i am favoring nvidia this upgrade unless amd pulls a rabbit out of their hat but im tired of all the hype only to be beaten by nvidia again and again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
