I dropped $850 on a BenQ XL2730Z last year when they were still fairly new. My reasoning was that there is no point having high end equipment and a crappy monitor. 

 

I would definitely prefer a gtx1080 as I get between 55 and 60 fps with maxed settings on witcher 3 currently. It ctd fairly quickly if I have afterburner open without an oc and won't load at all with an oc.

 

I would notice the slight improvement that a gtx 1080 would have at that framerate and you can tell the difference in quality when you lower a setting or two to keep the fps above 60.

 

It is worth upgrading if you don't mind the $500 to $700 depreciation that happens if you upgrade as soon as a new card is out. I mind so no upgrading for me yet. 

 

On furmark I just scored averages of;

 

219fps@720p,

130fps@1080p and

82fps@1440p.

 

The minimum and maximum fps were only 2 or 3 fps higher or lower. That was with stock clocks.

 

I just ran the Shadow of Morder benchmark with max settings, again on stock clocks and scored;

 

@720p average: 196.03, max: 338.29, min: 98.39.

 

@1440p average: 104.29, max: 145.73, min: 76.58.

 

@3840x2160 average: 57.76,

max: 73.44, min: 46.47.

 

@5120x2880 average: 35.19,

max: 43.35, min: 28.72.

 

I guess that gives some idea of how the card handles different resolutions.

 

Clearly gaming is a much lighter load than benchmarking. 

 

Imo the gtx980Ti is a 99% 1440p card. It gets you there 99% of the time but still lacks in some areas.

2 x 1080's = Doom @4k ultra >60FPS

 

Just saying.......

 

All the fps in the world means very little when you get stuttering.

 

That's like having a 400rwkw falcon that hits overboost every 2nd time you floor it.

overboost becomes regular boost if you get it often enough

 Neighbour's wife becomes regular wife if you get it often enough.

Looking great BCB.

 

Seal the rear pci case slots (so air goes through the fans/radiators - air pressure when the front panel is on)?

 

UV fluid for a bit more pizzazz? 

[bloodycrashboy]

funny you should say that Rab, been looking for those slot covers ever since I got the case back from the powdercoaters.

I was thinking maybe a couple of red LED strips in the case might highlight the fluid?

where is the sexy voice to really sell it hahah

Mrs BCB offered to do a cameo, but then she just laughed and ran away
