How much will the 1080ti beat out my 970(4GB)sli by?

[Andromalius]

Is it worthwhile to buy one to replace them when it comes out? This is related to 1080p performance not 4k.

[Dr. Fronkensteen]

It would certainly be better, but not really worth the money for 1080p gaming. Get a 1070 when the price drops.

[Andromalius]

I don't think a single 1070 is better.

Don't bother with a 1080 ti if you plan on playing at 1080p. The 1080 ti is a 4k gpu.

Also note, the 1080 ti was released on the 10th but sold out pretty much everywhere within the first hour. Luckily enough i got my grubby lil paws on one.

Personally, a single more powerful gpu is almost always better than sli. You don't have to deal with more power consumption, heat etc etc, not too mention sli is broken in a lot of games.
A 1070 might actually be a good choice for 1080p gaming.

As much as I want a 1080 Ti, I'm sticking with my 980TI's, I only play at 1440p (2560x1440) resolution, and I think a 1080 TI is overkill.

[Mcnasty]

google the questions you might have, there are numerous testings between both . it also helps you learn.... then when you ask here you have an idea for a discussion.. just saying..

1080ti is NOT overkill for 1440p. I have a gtx1080 and it struggles with some demanding games @1440p.

A single 1070 would be much better. It would not have all the problems that come with SLI so it would be already worth it just because of that.

Are you playing 60fps 1440p?

144hz ofc. But i still see drops below 60fps in some demanding games.

Which is why i'm considering upgrading from gtx1080 to gtx1080ti.

If you upgrade your monitor with it, it will be worth it, but I doubt you have a couple 1000$/£/(put currency here)

I like the 1070 for 1080p 144hz but can't max out and still get 144hz so drop a extra hundred on a gtx 1080. Yes a 1080 for 1080p is overkill but you will have 144hz with max settings and if you ever get a 1440p monitor, you will be ready.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

If you stick with 1080p 60 Hz monitor stick with your GTX 970.
If you use 1080p 144 Hz monitor or 1440p 60 Hz monitor get GTX 1070, it has slightly better performance then GTX 980 Ti.
If you use 1440p 144 Hz monitor or 4K monitor get GTX 1080 Ti, it's the only graphics card out there that can run majority of games with 60 fps ultra on 4K, especially when overclocked.

Reason why GTX 970 SLI is not that great option for 1440p or higher resolution is that you will be limited by 4 GB VRAM while GTX 1070 has 8 GB and GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB.

[Squirrell]

The 1080ti won't change the way anything looks at 1080p unless you intend doing graphic mods that the 970 struggles with.

[bRice153]

Well it has 11gb of video memory and makes my 980ti look like total ♥♥♥♥ and not many games even use SLI so one single powerful GPU is always better lol. So it will beat it hardcore.

[Andrius227]

I myself upgraded from 2x gtx980's sli to gtx1080 and that was a massive improvement. Some ppl might think that 2x gtx980s would be faster than the gtx1080, but they are in fact not, due to poor scaling and all the other sli problems.

Upgrading from 2x gtx970's sli to gtx1080ti would be an even bigger improvement.
