Hi everyone,

With recently playing GTA V,I am getting very frustrating with the fact that I'm playing on 900p with the lowest settings, so I reakky wnat to upgrade my rig with a more powefull GPU.

My current rig is as following:

Cpu: Intel core i7-3770

Gpu: Nvidia Geforce GTX 650

RAM: 8 GB @1600Mhz

I am planning on getting the Zotac 980ti amp extreme. When I have more cash on hand later, I want to buy the Asus ROG PG278Q, but I do want to get really high framerates, will the combination of my cpu and Gpu that I will buy be enough for what I want?

I would get the cheapest 980ti.

because they all preform essentially the same.

Get the 980 ti

 

Get a 1440p monitor

 

but you don't have to get a 144hz monitor, you are not going to get 144fps in GTAV.

 

get a 60hz 1440p and the 980 ti will be GOLDEN on everything.

7800X3D - MSI B650 MAG Tomahawk - 32GB 6000mhz CL30 - Gigabyte 3080 TI - 2TB NVME - 1000w PSU - ID Cooling 240mm AIO

To reply to the comments above, I really like the Zotac cooler and the overclocking capability, not really that possible with a refference 980 ti.

Also, this video from the Linus himself: 

And this from Tech of Tomorrow: 

 

To adress colin_kerr question, i'll repeat that I have a GTX 650, I think that is nuff said (if not, the most recent and grafics demanding games i have to run 1080p low and in the case of GTA V on 900p

 

Get the 980 ti

 

Get a 1440p monitor

With "the", do you mean the Zotac amp extreme or reffrence?

And will I not be able to run on 100+ fps with some setting turned down?
