Worth upgrading? 2 SLI 980s to 1080ti

[Amused]

I have two EVGA 04G-P4-2983-KR superclocked 980s in SLI running with an i7 4790K on a 2560x1440 monitor.

I'm contemplating upgrading to a single 1080ti. Is it worth it? What % performance increase would I see?

How much can I get for two never overclocked (beyond EVGA factory OC) 980s on the used market?

Thanks!

Yes it’s worth it I went 980ti SLI to two Titan pascals SLI then to single 1080ti. It will be nearly twice as fast or faster in most/all games.

plus, no stuttering.

Yes, definitely worth it. There will be lower gains in some titles with good multi-GPU support, but in others you will see a huge boost.

2 gtx980's should net you ~ $400
A gtx1080ti will be from 50 to 120% faster than 2 gtx980's at 1440p.
The extra video memory will also be a big help. 11gb vs 4gb.

I've still been hanging onto my pair of GTX 980 ACX cards for quite some time. I'd upgrade but I don't have a G-Sync monitor at the moment; the desktop they're in is still on Haswell so no further upgrades there.

Actually, would a single 1080ti be bottlenecked on a 4790k?

Definitely worth it OP. Go for it and you won't regret it.

That depends on your resolution. It would at 1080p, it would not at 4K.

this would be 3440x1440... hmm, might be worth revisiting at some point

For the most part, it shouldn't be an issue. I'm sure you might find older games could cause a bottleneck, but you shouldn't have much issues on newer games.
