  1. I went for MSI gaming 980ti cause it has a separate mid plate with heatsinks over the VRMS so the kraken G10 is a direct bolt on.
  2. 9600x1800 with VSR in eyefinity. 2xDVI, 1xHDMI.
  3. Capacity is capacity regardless of VRAM type. While 4GB is enough in most cases there are scenarios it won't be.
  4. Cause gaming isn't the only use case for a gpu. Titan x makes little sense though as its double precision is low
  5. AMD generally has better multi-gpu scaling then NVIDIA. As others have stated most games won't need 4gb even in 4k. How much is vram being used isn't always how much it needs - there can be unused assets sitting in vram that it can cull if more space is required. You only see a performance impact once the scene being rendered requires more data then can be stored in the frame buffer and the gpu has to swap assets in real time to complete frames.
  6. Satisfied with mine, but I don't have a hard core custom loop - just threw a couple of closed loops a year+ ago and haven't thought about it since...
  7. 980ti 2560x1440 benchmarks -25% for rough approximation.
  8. Whichever is cheapest where u live
  9. I'd take the Acer xb270hu for competitive gaming and eyefinity for single player immersion. Games with top down views like League of Legends are a pain to pan diagonal or horizontal in eyefinity but 3rd and first person games are fantastic.
  10. I've found multi monitor (eyefinity/surround) to have better game support then 21:9. wsgf.org is an excellent source for game compatibility.
  11. Ya I get that. Hence "reassess the market when the time comes" Maybe a more important question is how long do you plan on running this set-up?
  12. Maybe, but at the end of the day your left with either a 980 ti system or SLI 970 system. I would aim for 980 ti and reassess the market when the time comes.
