Gpu to run 4K single card or SLI/CF Prefferably with the ASUS STRIX Cooler

I have a AOC 4K monitor model number: "AOC 28" 4K LED U2868PQU" and i have a Nvidia GTX 680 4GB card and it runs games mostly in 30 FPS at 4k ATM.

Witch is why im looking for a upgrade, and i'm quite fond of Asus's new STRIX cooler and i want a card with, it and also be able to actually run games in 4K at 60 Fps.

The cards that im looking at is either 2 GTX 980's in SLI or one GTX 990 whenever Nvidia drops it from their death grip.

Red or green team anything goes as long as it has the Strix cooler an doesn't stab my wallet to hard, please put some performance results in from games or other benchmarks.

Thanks in advance. 

So basically you are limited to the GTX 980 strix. Unless the R9 390X comes in a strix style. Other than that you are SOL.

So Sli 980 it is then.

Well thanks anyways guess there is no avoiding it it has to be smashed :D http://i.imgur.com/jGkCVUK.png at least sometime in the near future. I will be crossing my fingers and watching both red and green team for a little while longer.

Yes waiting would be the best for it. Either AMD will rock up with something good or Nvidia will drop the 980ti/990 to counter. Either way waiting it good. 

Well. The R9 290X is as fast as a 980 at 4K. It is also much cheaper. I'd get two of those. Two of those would only be a  bit more than one 980 and kill it. 

I'd wait though to see what the 380X is like. 

Yeah i can wait for a bit maybe even all the way to April or something if not I will look into the R9 290X and the 980 against each other in SLI Price to performance if no other single GPU beast have been released by than. 

Seems like this is the only good AMD alternative ATM with a Strix cooler 3GB V-ram might be a bit small tough  http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/STRIXR9280OC3GD5/ Thanks anyways :p

IDK really why you love the Strix cooler so much. It is a glorified DCUII. Yeah I guess the 0DB fan option is nice but under heavy load it will be on anyway. Plus if you go with an R9 290X (which is as fast as a 980 at 4K and over $250 cheaper mind you) you can get a TriX or VaporX from Sapphire which will cool better than the Strix and be about the same level of noise. Trust me with either card in a case you won't be hearing them. 

Plus that is an R9 280 you have there. Not in the same league as a 290X at all...

I know that the 280 and 290X are very different but still i want the Strix cooler for my build, since it fit's my build really well and it's color scheme (standard Red and Black).

And i wanted the GPU to have mostly black with very few red accents and i think the Strix cooler fit's the bill perfectly IMO. The fan less mode is cool but not required (i mostly got it for the looks).

And the card of course has to be able to put out a good average of 60FPS but in 4K witch you have been pretty good at finding but not quite the one i want.

But thanks for the effort good sir.  :D
