GTX 970 or GTX 780

Hardware GPU
1

Hello fellow Loginites!

 

Have a classic question and am looking for a well thought out answer for both options. I have an Idea of what I am going with based on my own research, but would like to hear some other input. SLI 750's perhaps?
After watching the latest The Tek, I saw Logan and Paul talking about the GTX 970 and what it is capable of. I am currently looking to get a new GPU as mine is a backup for the one that died. I am looking to spend $350

As either one will be a massive upgrade to my system, I am looking for a "good" match as well. I have always been a fan of MSI and would like to stay with that as my board is MSI. If this is not a good idea, or if this would be a possible shortcoming of my system, please let me know why.

stay away from SLI, Get a single cars over sli. 1 question, Do you do any proferssional work, 3D rendering, Premier pro and so on? If so then 780, if just for gaming 970

3

Mostly gaming. I plan to edit my recording of game play however for streaming and or a Tube channel. Nothing 3D though.

4

Light editing? Go with the 970 then

5

GTX 970.

I don't think you can SLI GTX 750s.

6

You can't. It was my poor attempt at sarcasm of ignorance. Failed

Just wanted to update you guys that give input.

I went with the EVGA GTX 970 FTW

I am getting 90 FPS in Advanced Warfare. The game's current max. Also just about everything else I play or do the system laughs at. Thanks for the input.
