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. 3 hours ago, Rab said: 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking maybe a couple of red LED strips in the case might highlight the fluid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
