Hey guys I am deciding between a 980 or 980 ti. I mainly CsGo and Tf2 at 1440 at 144hz. Was wondering if a 980 would be able to run them both.

Yeah, you'll have no problem with the 980. The 980ti is kinda overkill but if you can afford it then why not?

A 960 would run those games lol.

 

But for the question itself a 980 will be more than enough for you.

 

If you want to play other AAA titles in the near future get the 980Ti for best 1440p performance.

Those games can run on a toaster, Im pretty sure you can save some money with a r9 290/390 or 970 and still get around 144 fps.

Just go for the 980Ti and you can play any Game in 1440p without even think about performances problems.
