Got some extra money - worth changing from Evga 780ti to a Evga 980 card (or two) or should I get another 780ti?

There is no such thing as EVGA 790. You should just get another 780ti, since they are pretty cheap now.

But does tri-sli scales and works as good/often as sli?
If so, 780ti, if not go for the 980 I'd say.

No idea though, you need to do your research ankhina Cool Face

The 780ti is already monstrously powerful so you don't *need* to upgrade at all, in fact.. it wouldn't even be that much of an upgrade, a few percentage points at best, so you'd probably get better bang-for-buck purchasing a second Ti unless you can get enough for your Ti in order to cover the full-no-extra cost of a 980, in which case; go for it Very Happy

isnt 980 the singlest most powerfull card around today ?
I would always go for single powerfull card, rather than sli... just to avoid compatibility problems

edit: and yeah.. like sabina said. I don't think it's much of an upgrade anwyay

Thought that might be the case - but I think ill get a second 780ti in that case. Reason I wanted one of the 980s was cos of the 4gb memory. I run games in 2560x1440


shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Shit.
I thought that you had 2x 780ti and were thinking about getting a 3rd one.
Didn't you run tri-sli cards?

Well then, maybe get a cheap ti and hold on to those until nvidia slashes the 980 prices and get them when that happens. Smile

A second 780ti would be cheaper, but yeah.. if you play at high resolutions and want lots of AA and other memory intensive features, you may be better served selling you Ti while it still keeps a high price and buying a pair of 980s.
