In the Fire Strike Extreme test our two GTX 970 cards in SLI got to the top of the chart. The SLI setup yielded a 73-percent performance uplift over a single GTX 970 Phantom card. Maxwell usually performs well in 3DMark tests, so the GTX 970 easily beats the GTX 780 Ti. However, in the real world the old GTX 780 Ti is faster than a single GTX 970 card. Game tests reveal that this is not the case in all titles and in some tests the GTX 970 SLI setup ends up faster than a GTX 780 Ti SLI setup.
