Hello. I have bought a new pc when gtx900 cards have been released and i have also bought myself a 3440x1440 screen. I found that i cant play most of the games at 60FPS without significantly lowering the settings. Is upgrading to GTX 1080Ti going to be enough or do i need to upgrade any other parts?

 

This is my current build:

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K @4,0 GHz
GPU: 2x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (2-Way SLI)
RAM: 16GB, DDR3, 1866MHz, CL9 Kingston Savage
Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII Hero
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S
SSD: A-Data Premiere Pro SP900 256GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Case: NZXT H440
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750W

 

Thank you for any suggestions.

SLI doesn't always work and at that resolution you might run into VRAM issues with the 970. 

1080TI is always going to be faster regardless.

1080 Ti would be fine. Maybe OC the CPU to help a bit.

Pretty much.

 

Devils Canyon is just a refined process. Refined TIM + VT-d are notable features.
