Best 1080p ultra graphics card?

[Zackslay3r]

As the question asks.

 

Thanks.

[MrChavelo]

Budget?

[ImBleu]

GTX970 / GTX980 or AMD R9 290 / AMD R9 290x

[matjojo]

gtx 980, if you have endless budget and might want to upgrade later a titan might not be bad, but currently moslty overkill

triple titan x

[costacis21]

gtx 960 will serve you well i think

[minibois]

GTX 980 if you really do the intensive games, otherwise the 970 or R9 290(X) should serve you well.

 

But since you have stated no budget @Zackslay3r , GTX Titan X ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

/jk

That is too overkill

[H4X3R]

GTX 980 for 144hz

[DotoreN]

Fuck no GTX 960.

 

GTX 970 for 1080p (300-400 dollar)

GTX 980 for 144p (500-600 dollar)

 

or go for AMD: r9 290x, but then I would recommend waiting for their r9 3xx series to come out!

 

Don't even consider the titan x.

 

Next time give more info like, how many monitors do you use (and what monitors), also your budget and CPU

[MasterRaceFanBoy]

If you want all on ultra, uber mods plus 2-3-4k res moded go for r9 290x 8gb. Then there is n980, and just for

 

simple 1080 ultra r280x, r9 290, n960, n970 are just ok. (will play tons of games on ultra)

 

 

If you have free hand on the budget ofc you can go SLI - crossF or dual gpu. But right now I would pick an r9

 

290x 4/8gb over n970 just because of being capable using all 4GB.. I like adding some mods in any game.

Ultra 1080p on 960? Not. A. Chance.

Unless we're talking about DOTA/CS:GO like games.  B)

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

970 (Best for budget) 

Titan X ( Best for epeen)

 WTF are you talking about http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-960,4038-4.html.. see on your own. its a budget gpu that can run almost all games on ultra 1080p. and because he didnt give as a budget, it doesnt mean that we will tell him to put 3 titan X's. we must give him the card with the lowest price

Maybe in 1-2 year old titles. Good luck playing GTA 5 on ultra with 960. Or any upcoming big game (e.g. Witcher 3, Arkham Knight).

as i said again, the op doesnt give as enough info. anyways, if the 970 makes you feel more comfortable as a suggestion, thats your opinion.

Actually I've never said anything about 970 either.  B)

Skip to 2:50. 

 

52FPS w/ 2X MSAA. Turn down the AA and you'll get 60.

Now, that's not really ultimate anymore, is it? 

[hadesjoy72]

Wow...this thread is spinning out of control....OP, just go with quad Titans or quad 290xs and you'll be fine (since you have unlimited funds... ) At this, you should have no problems with Ultra Uber levels in games like Purple Palace and other graphically challenging titles.....good luck with whatever you choose and please post dat receipt after the purchase

 

 

 

Back to reality...970/290 would be your best bet for 1080p..whatever team your partial too....

[rjb]

R9 290 is super cheap right now and loves 1080p. And we need to support amd

970 is just way way way way better for only 100 bucks more. if you buy a 960 right now you'll regret not going for the 970 or 980 in a few weeks/months. 

 

GL playing assassins creed unity for example on your 960.

[sgloux3470]

280x.

 

 

[Zackslay3r]

Haha guys. Im surprised with the thread.

 

I can buy everything but titan x's. I need a GPU for 144Hz 1080p full ultra and 60Hz full ultra.

[Mapleguy4]

In all seriousness, the 280X or 290 are good options from AMD. Depends on the best deal you can find. There's a 280X in the classifieds for $150 right now. Good deal IMO. 290 is obviously faster, but is obviously a bit more. The 960 is the best option from nVidia right now for a purely 1080P budget. The 970 isn't meant for just 1080P. It's a 1440P card and we all know it. It's overkill for 1080P. If you have the money, great. It will last much longer and can allow 1440P in the future. But 2GB VRAM isn't as much a bottleneck as others think. It really isn't. In 2 or 3 years, certainly may be a (slight) bit. Most semi-enthusiasts will upgrade around then anyway. Also, as someone with a 2GB VRAM card, an R7 260X, it does 1080P well already. Usually 45+ FPS on high/max settings for most games.
