I play games with these specs, and I can get 60FPS at a mix of Very High and High at 1440p with no MSAA on GTA V (I use DSR as my means of AA as it is less demanding than MSAA x2 and looks similar)

GTA on High at 1440 might be stretching it a bit

how well do you guys think a gtx 970 strix and an intel i7 4790k and 1233mhz 16gb ram would run a 1080p display in demanding games like gta 5 far cry e.c.t. 

Thank you!

I can run triple monitor surround GTA 5 on high at 30ish fps (finally confirmed it with a frame rate overlay....very sad :( ) That's three 1080p monitors for a final resolution of 5760x1080p. If I drop the other two and just run one single monitor, I can max everything out on GTA 5 and run at a solid 60 (my monitor's don't go above 60). But racing is more fun with three monitors than one, in first person mode.

 

It's a better option than a 960, it will remain relevant in gaming, for far longer as games become more and more demanding.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Thats usually used for spreadsheets.

In all seriousness its probably the best 1080p gpu for the price ATM and its a bit overkill at 1080P TBH,

It will run everything at MAX at 60 + fps easily at 1080p

Oh right that sounds perfect as my build is a work/gaming build and I am still in school but also want to do some gaming .
