Posted September 6, 2015 Author The thing is that waiting till 2016 is thinking of it was worth the wait. If you buy now with X99 and two 980 Tis/ Fury Xs, and all of a sudden Skylake-E and Zen plus Pascal/Arctic Islands completely kicks the ass of any rig from 2015, you can't help but feel that you should have waited. Same goes if you waited and the new tech doesn't rally improve. I would really just wait. At least it's going to be faster either way. If you need it ASAP and you're going to get fired, go get X99 and Maxwell/Fiji.THANK YOU, I've learned that people who tell you to buy now, already have what they want and aren't anticipating the new tech, people who tell you to wait don't have what they want and are anticipating the new tech. I don't even have a desktop so I'd be retarded to buy a Titan x today and in April, pascal comes out with 16gb of VRAM and dx12 integrated.

I can almost guarantee that the 1080/whatever won't have 16gb of VRAM, nor would it need that much. My guess is it will be 8GB at best.

Cure for cancer would costs insurance companies and hospitals and doctors and nurses 10,000,000,000s Well, that and also, Nvidia could release something amazing now, or, they can release half of that amazing thing now and then the other half the following generation. Thus, they've now sold two generation worth of technology with the RnD costs of just one generation. Think about Intel, you honestly have to be naive to believe they're only improving performance by such tiny margins with the amount of money they're spending on development.

Posted September 6, 2015 I'm looking into buying a much more modest setup myself but after much research I would say wait. With Asynchronous shading coming into play and nvidia most likely bringing out a new line of gpus to stay up to speed with dx12 and also gsync and freesync becoming more available and cheaper for your monitor. Currently only top of the line monitors offering this and I think its well worth it. I think there will be some nice components/products just on the horizon that will probably spend your money better than say the last year has considering these technologies are pretty new.

Posted September 6, 2015 Well then set a few settings down and get locked 60FPS. Well... that is the issue there.

Posted September 6, 2015 I have 980ti sli and I struggle to run witcher 3 maxed out at 4k I'm playing it right now so I no u can't with one 980ti Because you like to ciclejerk and have everything on like HairWorks.

Posted September 6, 2015 Not that I like quoting my self but I did say that I don't play maxed setting so I no u don't with one 980ti Maxed out, means playing the game in the best possible graphical settings. Therefor, even if you have every single setting maxed out, you need to set your resolution to 7680x4320. I get ~10FPS at 8K. Next year, thanks to HBM V2 we will be able to play games in 8K at a reasonable framerate +40FPS with two cards. The VRAM and memory speed is the bottleneck, not the chip, because you can play older games with low-res textures at 8K 60FPS. Open your eyes and break your chains.

Lmao. 40FPS with G-SYC is as smooth as 60FPS. Anyways, I play it at glorious 1440P +80FPS 4K 60hz is NOT the ultimate gaming experience, it's 1440P 144hz (or 3440x1440 100hz when the Asus monitor comes out) Open your eyes and break your chains.

Posted September 6, 2015 Dang straight I'm telling you We're not on about 1440p And 41 fps at 4k ain't doin the job U can't recommend one 980ti For the guy who posted this I don't care if ur happy with 41 fps The guy wants a ultimate 4k machine Then he can wait another year, because not even 4X Titan X at 1500Mhz can push out locked 60FPS at 8K. I also had the acer cb280hk 4k and returned it few days ago because it was shit, 1440P 144hz + 4K TV is best combo (49 inch 4K tv is ~650€ and 549$ on Amazon) Open your eyes and break your chains.
