|
 |
Just wondering what people recommend. Also would like the opinion of current SLI users (9xx). Never used SLI myself, read about all the issues that can arise, doesn't bother me if the game doesn't have day 1 support for SLI.
Mostly interested in temps (currently 72 degrees on my asus strix with 1450 clock and 99% gpu usage), how much would things go up from there with another strix would you reckon? Also frametimes and other stuff like that. My PSU is a corsair 850W so that should be fine, my motherboard should support SLI fine ( i think? ) and... do i need anything else to make it work?
Also i know about the VRAM issue, but would be way more comfortable and cheaper to get another 970 than sell and get a 980ti. In a bit of a pinch with moneyz atm and wifey wants to buy new fridge new washing machine and new this and that around the house.
Would waiting for Pascal be worth it? Idk what to do honestly. Just wanna play that W3 maxed out and DSR'd. 2560x1080 mostly ultra/Hairworks/med shadows gives a nice 50-60 fps but the aliasing is really annoying 
Thanks for your input.
PS: do you recommend getting the same card model or doesn't matter? Or a basic one with normal airflow instead of the custom cooled ones (think i read SLI works better with those)
Finally do the cards need to work at the same frequency?

980ti.
SLI is dead. More heat, more power, more noise, more headaches.

SC2 is CPU bound, it uses also only 2 cores.
