[authenticwill]

Hello there

 

Im currently planning my first computer build (parts list below)and i need some advice for my graphics card option the 970 or 980ti ? I will be using my PC for recording/streaming and playing games at 1080p.

 

Monitors:

2x1080p monitors 2ms (http://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-GL2450HM-Widescreen-Multimedia-Speakers/dp/B005OPLG0O/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1458333245&sr=1-1&keywords=monitor)

At 1080p a 970 is plenty, however a 980ti will allow for higher resolutions later on without dealing with sli. I have two 970s and couldn't be happier

a 970 is easily enough for 1080p, save some money.

If you're running 1080, then the 970 is for you. As for the streaming/recording/editing thing, you're going to want some more CPU horsepower so spend the money you saved by not buying a 980ti on an i7.

Well if money is not big issue go for 980Ti. [Keep in mind thats just mu perspective]

There will be some guys who say 980TI is waste for 1080p, but for me its something like more feature proof.

 

Lets say for example you max out every game for 1 year at 1440p with 980Ti. At 1080p you will be able to max out for 3/4years.

If you seen the build i will be getting the i7 4790k. Do you think this will be the best cpu ?

Do you plan on gaming with both monitors at the same time?

[MegaDave91]

What games in particular?

You can't really do that because the center of your view would be right in between the two monitors.

The 4790k is perfect for streaming and gaming

Just go with the 980 ti if you have the money for it

[Zeinone]

I'd maybe change that SSD, people say it isn't that good. Consider switching to a 850 evo.

[Allshevski]

An old Volkswagen or a Ferrari? Go with what you have money for, 980ti is maybe too much for 1080p but you won't have to change it as quickly and it will be ready for 4K. And if new games on 1080p come out, you will be always up to date as even now some recommend 970 (Rainbow 6 for example)

[CrackheadKyle]

if you have the money pull the 980 ti but an overclocked 970 will suffice in about anything I have an overclocked 970 on two 1080p monitors I can game at 1440p and have it downscale to fit on 1080p

[HelplmChoking]

If you can afford a 980 Ti, do it.

[Schoolofmonkey]

Don't listen to the GTX970 is enough for 1080p, it's not.
I've got a GTX980ti Hybrid on a 1080p@144Hz monitor and there's still some games you can't "max out" to get the constant high frame rates for a 144hz monitor.

 

If you can afford a GTX980ti get it, you won't regret it, it will certainly last you longer than a GTX970...

980 Ti Owner as well, and I think you'll love it to bits. I game on a run-off-the-mill 1080p panel with 60 Hz, and boy some games just like to eat VRAM on any resolution. I play games like Ark: Survival Evolved (I know, not optimised at all yet), Rise of the Tomb Raider, GTA V and that sort of demanding titles and some of them still have the guts to dive below 60 FPS sometimes, the rascals!
