    If we are talking a single component, it would be my ASUS PG348Q, however if we are talking about multiple of the same component, it would be my GTX 980ti Matrix SLI

    Corsair has the new H115i coming out soon (280mm) so you might want to wait for that cooler, I think it has a thicker radiator than the H110i GTX

    It seems that it might be different from the ACER Predator X34, as the ASUS version might do 100hz out of the box and not the "up to" 100hz on the ACER Predator X34, where many people did not get 100hz on it.

    You will get about 70 FPS in Battlefront Ultra with one GTX 980ti, you will get about 35-40 FPS in the Witcher 3 Ultra Hairworks with one GTX 980ti. If you wanted SLI you will get 120 FPS in Battlefront Ultra and 60-70 FPS in the Witcher 3 Ultra Hairworks
     
    So you will not really benefit from a 100hz panel, if you play the latest games.

    I could afford to go anyway, however I have already missed most of it. Also I am not sure I would want to spend tickets for the flight, hotel and CES tickets. If I was going to Las Vagas anyway, I expect I would pay for the All Access Pass or certain tracks

    Actually, that has been fixed now.
     
    If you had the budget for the EK Predator 240mm or 360mm, that is the best AIO, it is so quiet even when gaming, with my 5930K 4.4Ghz 1.3V, I get 58-64c when gaming. Normally highest temperature is 62c though. I have the EK Predator 360mm version.
     
    If you do not want that, then the Corsair H110i GTX or Corsair H115i, they are the best AIO, excluding the EK Predator

    Well we got to 200hz at the moment, however I expect you will not notice a difference, as after 100hz, it starts to become hard to notice any difference while gaming.

    Metro got a reaction from WaitDontSh00t in is ultrawide 21:9 curved really worth it for gaming?   
    The PG279Q is really good, if you can get a good panel. The panels are made by AU Optronics (ACER, terrible QC) which is why they have a lot of backlight bleed and IPS glow. For the specs you want, it has to be 3440x1440p really, unless you want a lower refresh rate or TN panel.
     
    We have CES soon, I expect more information on the ASUS PG348Q to be released. Do not expect 100 FPS in games with one GTX 980ti, with GTX 980ti SLI in Witcher 3 Ultra Hairworks, you get about 60 FPS. Battlefront Ultra you will get about 70 FPS, with one GTX 980ti, I think 3440x1440p 100hz is worth it though.

    I expect low end and mid end Pascal to be Q2 2016, then high end Pascal in Q2 2017
     
    One is the 16nm fab is new...and untested...and you can't go large and power hungry on first generation chips. Don't believe how unreliable a new fab is? Look at how long it took Nvidia to pick between Samsung and TSMC and finally siding with TSMC due to their longer working history and reliability.

    Second point is...they will kill their own sales by offering their best card right at the release of the new generation. They will not be able to give any reason at all to their enthusiast market to upgrade their card within 3 years of launch. Whereas when you look at Kepler, people bought the 680, then the Titan came out, then the 780, and most people who bought the 680 eventually upgraded to those cards. And then when Maxwell launched, they started with just the 750 and 750ti. Then released the 980 that some bought, and finally after a while, the Titan X and 980ti which gave people (enthusiast market, again) a reason to upgrade.

    Nvidia likes incremental upgrades. They don't want you to buy a card now, and launch another card in a year that completely destroys the card you bought. They put out one card, then 12 months later they bring out another card that is generally just 10-20% faster, so it's better than what they offered before, but not enough to **** off anyone who bought their last gen cards. And then another 6-12 months later they put out an even better card, with 50%+ better performance than their older cards, and people start upgrading again.

    If on day one of the Pascal launch, if they come out with their absolute best card, they are going to have nothing interesting to bring to market for 2 to 3 years until Volta comes out. And that would be silly. Even if it were possible with the new 16nm fab. In terms of business, you need to offer a product that is a bit better than your competition, without being too much better/too costly for you. So they just need to put out a slight performance increase, but sell the card on much lower power consumption, wait for AMD to release something else, and then launch a bigger die version themselves, and back/forth they go. Just a quick reference:

    FERMI
    GTX 580 = 520mm2

    KEPLER
    GTX 680 = 294mm2
    GTX Titan = 551mm2

    MAXWELL
    GTX 750ti = 148mm2
    GTX 980 = 398mm2
    GTX Titan X = 601mm2

    Do you see the pattern? Small, Medium, Big, restart. Don't think about it based on die size. Because it's really just about transistor count. Pascal at 16nm, even a 294mm2 sized die like the GTX 680, along with HBM2, would result in performance close to the Titan X...and perhaps even higher due to lower heat/power consumption allowing higher clocks.
    Hope that helps.


    Also, NVIDIA is launching the GTX 990, so it would not make sense to release high end Pascal in Q2 2016

    We also know HBM2 is going to have problems with amount of stacks as there was not enough HBM1 for AMD, so if NVIDIA and AMD are using HBM2, there will not be enough (Titan O, will need 16GB HBM2) this is why NVIDIA will have to wait for Samsung HBM2 (which starts production in Q2 2016) so it will take till 2017 for there to be enough and for NVIDIA to implement it on the GTX 1080ti and Titan O
