980 vs 980 ti

[Tomthedrum]

I am planning a new build and cant really decide between the 980 and the ti . Are the extra 200$ worth it?

If FPS per dollar, then yes the 980Ti is a better buy.

1080p or 1440p monitor?

Doesn't matter. 980Ti is better bang for your buck.

But yeah, it wouldn't make too much sense for 1080p.

yeah, true, i have a 1080p monitor and i have the 980 Ti~ imo, worth it but that is just me

Mm. I think it'd be worthy upgrade for me to go to the 980Ti for my triple 1080p setup...

Maybe...

if you're like, like maxing graphic settings, go for it! if you have the budget that is.

At least you can use nvidia gimpworks effects

all graphic settings...ACTIVATE!!

980Ti is much faster. If you want the best possible, Yes its worth it.

[Smooth Bunz]

most aftermarket 980ti's are better than a titan x in gaming

soo... 980 ti 

[Tomthedrum]

Do you guys know any good 980 tis?

And most watercooled Titan X are faster than air cooled GTX980Ti... where´s the point here?

 

Personally I´d go if 1080p maximum for the GTX980 for now. Unless you want a top notch GPU or you don´t want to upgrade the next few years anymore, or plan to upgrade your resolution. These points speak then for the GTX980Ti and of course the sheer greed for top notch hardware.

But 1080p doesn´t need much more than a GTX980 and you can turn your games to Ultra settings.Usually I´m one of the `buy always high end hardware faction`. But the next year´s upcomming new GPU gen (I know it isn´t exactly around the corner now but 2015 is pretty much over) could be a real big leap in terms of performance.

If someone sets their mind on a card then I´d sure go for it because you want the horse power now, but most people don´t want to go out and spend now 700USD and next year again.

Did he say anything about water cooling?

[Najuno]

Did he say anything about water cooling?

Did he ask about performance comparision with a Titan X?

 

You recommend a GPU because it is as fast as a Titan X... so in other words whether he needs this kind of GPU or not it is the right thing to buy just because... strong argumentation.

Well EXCUSE me.

1080p or 1440p monitor?

 

Doesn't matter. DSR makes that irrelevant. You're not restricted to running all your games at 1080p on a 1080p panel and there are visual benefits of using DSR.

Again, with DSR it justifies running a 980Ti on a 1080 panel. Games will look better and you'll be ready for a higher resolution panel when the time comes to upgrade. 

 

We really need a sticky thread about VSR/DSR in the graphics card section of this forum.

True you can upgrade and downsample for the time being. But don´t expect it to look as if it was native. The picture quality will improve no doubt about it, but your monitor still misses the pixel density of a native display. If you plan to upgrade your display in the near future then the GTX980Ti is definitely a rock solid choice.

Of course 1440 or 4k DSR on a 1080 panel will not look as good as 1440 or 4k native. But it certainly looks better than 1080p native. It's the perfect solution as you wait for 1440/4k prices to go down.

At this point it might just be saving up for a higher resolution display best case with either Freesync or G-Sync since there are many affordable displays already out there. Acer has some serious stuff out there, that won´t cost you a leg and a kidney. True it looks better than just 1080p with DSR.

Indeed. I don't like being forced to use Vsync or endure screen tearing. My next display will be 1440 or 4k with freesync or Gsync. Just have to figure out which as that locks you into one brand or the other.
