A new graphics card is the only thing that i have not upgraded yet. I have a MSI GTX 970 4G, and i was thinking about getting another one so i can SLI them. Is it worth it? It would set me back by only 150USD. Some might argue that the 970 is good on it's own and i kinda argree, i get stable 50-60 FPS on max settings in most games, but i want something more stable.
Is SLI worth it?

no
SLI is a gimmick

This, but unironically.
SLI/Crossfire is dead.
Performance is inconsistent, power usage is huge.
You're better off buying a more powerful single GPU.
Also, reminder that the VRAM isn't additive on such a configuration. With 2 970 you're still stuck with 4GB (3.5GB?) VRAM.

This. As much as it pains me to say, because SLI/X-fire setups look so fulfillingly complete, it's a dead end tech.

Everything is starting to use deferred rendering which doesn't work with SLI so no its fucking dead.

just sell your 3,5 gb trash for 150 and get a 590 or 1060
