Nikolaos M Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Could you mention the total budget? You're going to be using the cpu for rendering, so a 980ti could be an overkill for what you do. 2x970's is out of the question, since you aren't interested in gpu rendering.

ralphdecapite Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Gpu for two reasons : 1.) like to play heavy games at full HD. 2.) will be using Gpu rendering ( nuke , vray now support two cards ), sometimes cycles gpu rendering. 900$ or so is the maximum i can stretch. FYI can buy GPU later. Edited January 18, 2016 by ralphdecapite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaos M Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) With 900$ you can't make an upgrade both in cpu and gpu. The 980Ti alone costs more than 700$. I'm not a gamer, but as far as I know it's better to invest in a single gpu for gaming. Sli has its problems (optimization issues). When you say Vray, you probably mean Vray RT gpu, because Vray is basically a cpu renderer. In your place I would start with a new cpu platform and add the gpus later. The 960 4gb is decent enough to buy you some time at present. See something like that as a basis PCPartPicker part list / . I've picked a 850W psu in case you insist on trying sli config in the future. S2011-3 is more upgradable, that's why I think it's a better option for a designer that uses cpu rendering too. PS: For gaming at FHD a 980Ti is a total overkill, I think. Consider buying this card only if you plan to upgrade your monitor to get a resolution of 1440p or higher.
