Will my PC run it?

CaptainWaffles

Hey guys, I was wondering if my specs could run things like fallout, skyrim, assasins creed, and other popular games at MAXIMUM settings (maxing everthing out). 

 My specs are:

 CPU: i7 4790k

 GPU: Geforce 980ti

 RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance

 Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition

 Hard Drive: Western Digital 1TB Black Series

Depends on the resolution. At 4K, not every game but at 1440p and 1080p definetely.

Maxing everything out isn't ideal. You want ultra textures and ultra shadows/lighting. You don't want some of the other extra stuff that might hit fps hard and only give you say... wavy hair >.>. You will find your sweet spot in games, but you will be able to do 120fps in gtav with maxed textures, shadows, and lighting. Just edit settings to your liking. I'm fps-heavy. So if it goes to 55fps, I will lower settings. But not my textures, never those [emoji14] (R9 290 & i5-4690k + 8gb ram)

Do I need a 4k monitor to run games at 4k

Most common answer at 1080p would be "Yes"

 

My answer "depends"

 

it depends on if you include proper AA (i.e MSAA not crappy FXAA) within 'maximum settings', and what u consider as 'run'.

 

If 'run' is solid 60fps+ minimums, and higher FPS averages and you DO want AA, then the answer Is "No".

uh... yes? Is this a serious question?  However you could use DSR and run at 1080p.

I just want to run these games at 50+ frames constantly with all settings at max at 1080p with maybe 2x MSAA (or more if possible)

I couldn't give any guarantee's knowing that said games are ports and likely have places where FPS will drop no matter what. However I have not played them myself. A 980ti is the best u can do without going SLI and ur CPU is top tier also, so its not like u can do much better anyway.

 

My honest advice would be to 'acquire' these games for testing purposes prior to purchasing them.

Doesn't Steam allow you to purchase a title and return it? Would that work for me to test?

Yes, but you have a time limit, and must have less than 2 hours into the game - at least that was the possibility last time I checked. This thread feels like a troll though, anyone who build a system with a 980ti knows its power before buying (I'd hope). At 1080p you can use super sampling (DSR) and run games at 1440p on 1080p maxed out with no issues. Witcher 3 runs at 160+ fps on my setup @ 1080p with SLI970 which are slightly more powerful than a 980ti (when the game has supporting profiles for SLI of course). Fallout 4 is maxed out with no issues, though locked to 72 fps (144hz monitor). Black ops 3 runs in ultra widescreen mode at 3980x1080 spanned at 118 fps on average which is fun (maxed aside from texture turned down to high versus extra since extra is where ram leaking occurs worst). Skyrim is incredibly old, almost any gaming rig can  handle it, yours can handle it with the high resolution texture mods more than likely. And Assassin's creed will likely scream just fine.

Stick 8xMSAA on them see if they still stay above 60 fps in the most demanding parts of those games.

 

I know for sure that Crysis 3 for example cant stay above 60 on a 980ti with max settings (which includes 8xMSAA)

 

I know im talking really pushing settings and choosing very demanding games and the most demanding parts in those games, but I would rather have som1 buy a card and be presently surprised of the performance, than som1 buy one and be disappointed that they are dropping below 60.
