Is the 980ti overkill for 1080p@144hz?

[slay english]

Even if you max games completely out? I also plan on upgrading to 1440p in the future.

If you are planning to upgrade in the future then it should be fine.

[AlwaysFSX]

Nope. Not overkill.

Yes a little, but since you are upgrading to 1440p later its fine

If you are going to upgrade to a 1440p 144Hz monitor then I would say the 980 Ti is perfect.

I also plan on trying some high texture mods for some games.

Depends on if your cpu is going to bottleneck the 980 Ti. It would still be overkill but the cpu will hold it back.

not overkill at the slightest.

I hope the 1440p 144hz gysnc monitors get cheaper. 

[SeanAngelo]

its fine, go for it

[R_Golden]

Not at all.

[ShadowCaptain]

I guess not at 144hz, it is for 60hz 1080p though

 

But its definately perfect for 1440p 60hz I

[DudeWazap]

No it's fine just give it and you will be set for a good while.

[GrimNeo]

not overkill at the slightest.

Depends on the game and settings. When I benchmarked Tomb Raider with one Titan X at 1080p I got 246 avg fps at max settings.

 

Edit can't remember the exact amount but it was way over 200fps

[slay english]

Also would a 2700k @4.6 bottleneck this card?

Yea I picked myself up a refurbished one for $699. It is awesome but certainly was expensive.

A slight bit if you where prepared to upgrade to skylake when that was released then that would be good.

Yes at 1080p for sure.

Yea I want to wait for skylake. 

[Briggsy]

something people also forget is VR. When it arrives (hopefully) in Q1 2016, you won't be having fun with a mid-range 1080p card. a 980ti will probably be the minimum you want, or the Radeon Furyan if it pans out.

[ADZ_123_!"£]

Well if you are going to do that and upgrade your display in the future then everything should be fine.

Sorry but ie 8 will not allow me to see this picture or work has blocked it. What does it say or what game?

[Watsyurdeal]

980 ti is not overkill at all, if you need the extra power you can always buy another for SLI

In terms of power, the 980 ti is a BEAST


But....wait and see if AMD comes out with something a little bit better for a little less.....

Plan on waiting since you cant find 980tis yet anyway.
