Hi everyone. I am currently running an i7 8700k, 32GB ram, GTX1080, running games at 1440p, ideally 144hz when i can. I am looking at upgrading the current build with an 6700xt ($599AUD). Is this current build going to utilize this card, or is it too old, and should I do a full build? Thank you!

Thanks!

Is this in the gforce experience settings?

I thought as much too. I was expecting much higher FPS.

There was no screen tearing at all. I will give other resolutions a crack. It was just native

Thanks, I will give this is a look at tonight.

Hi, I have purchased a MSI Gaming 1080. I was going to upgrade my monitor now that I can finally drive something more than 1080p @ 60fps. After installing the card, and running Battlefield 1 @ ultra, i was hovering around 70-80fps. My question is, given that I am not driving much above 60 fps, will a higher hz monitor matter, and will increasing my resolution to 1440p actually put me back into 60 fps territory? I am running a i7 4970k (stock at 4.0ghz) but that doesn't seem to be a bottleneck at all. Happy to hear any thoughts, comments and suggestions. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies

If I only want to game on single monitor 1080p, is the 970 still a decent card? Will the memory issue effect this particular set up?

Thank you for making reviews fun to watch again. It's been a long time since review videos have interested me. PS. Nachos. Always Nachos.

He will be fine, you're right. Just listing a disadvantage as the OP asked, that's all. It will perform great

The power consumption will be drastically increased.

I would remove the CPU block and paste. Reapply thermal paste, and re-seat the CPU block. Run prime again. If that fails, check that the orientation of the fans are correct for the config (push or pull).

The Vapor / Toxic 280x run's quite cool. I would recommend the Tri-X sapphires if you can get them at the same price point as the 770. 1Gb extra VRAM will also come in handy.

This is for the user asking which headphones, I was mentioning that those particular phones sound better with an amp. No need for clueless name calling.
