Posted August 13, 2015 i saw a lot of videos, and i noticed that even the gtx 970 can struggle to play on 1080p ultra with 60fps+ like in witcher 3. and here i dont know if its better to wait a little, cause i also would really like to play on a 1440p display.

Posted August 13, 2015 define 'struggle'also it depends on your you know, other components??and if you want to play on a 1440p display then I dont even know why you would consider the 970 for ultra settings at over 60 fps like what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 13, 2015 Can you wait? Yes? Then wait. Can you not wait? No? Then get it now Also consider the R9 390, imo the better card for this price Longboarders/ skaters message me!

Posted August 13, 2015 how so ? https://youtu.be/wmuNTpKGOZU?t=43s You do realize that if your average framerate is ~50, it means it probably drops down to ~30, and goes as high as 70 or so, right? Also, 53 fps in Shadow of Mordor was from the in-game benchmark, which is not as demanding as the game. And even half the map in SoM is not as demanding as the other half, which has a ton of grass. In BF4, you might get close to 60 fps on average at 1440p, but as soon as explosions happen, which are really demanding on the GPU, it'll drop to 30 or even below 30. My OCed 970 drops to 40 fps on Ultra settings 1080p. So average fps is meaningless if the minimum fps is too low. OP said he wants 60+ fps on Ultra at 1440p, which is something only one GPU can do, or at least come close to it, and that is 980 Ti. Not even 980 Ti will be able to maintain 60 fps at all times, but it it's your best bet. If you absolutely want 60+ at all times, you can always reduce some settings, you don't have to have everything maxed out. Usually in games some settings are so demanding on hardware, it's just not worth it to have them on, and in some cases there isn't even a noticeable visual difference. i7 9700K @ 5 GHz, ASUS DUAL RTX 3070 (OC), Gigabyte Z390 Gaming SLI, 2x8 HyperX Predator 3200 MHz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 13, 2015 If Nvidia made a 970 with a 512 bit bus. Things would get interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
