    Considering his name he is clearly Swedish, the current price for a gtx 970 is 2800 kr while the price for a gtx 980 is 5100kr 2x 970 is 5600 which is only 500kr more than one 980, so for less than 10% more of the price of one he gets about 40% more performance and considering we currently don't know how a 970/980 works at 1440p in dx11 it's better to start out with one cheaper GPU as if it works a better one is wasted. The only reason to get a 980 is if there's a lack of PCI slots or choosing between 3x 970 or 2x 980.

    But this is of course depending on how well the dx11 version will handle sli.
