Thanks for replying so quickly folks! I do have a 144hz display.
I do have the money to pick up a higher end 2000 series card but I don't want to throw that money down for 10 FPS improvement.
Thanks for the insight in Turing architecture and actual core count; I don't remember actually looking at core count on these new cards. Going to do some more reading on that now.
Also, a 30-40% improvement in FPS, even as a general estimate, sounds like it is well worth the price of admission.
Thanks again for so much good info in such short order!
