Which GPU for 1080p/120hz?

I keep over thinking my purchase. I currently have a 1080p 120hz monitor and in the very near future upgrade to a 1440p monitor. I just order and received a 980ti hybrid on Saturday. Should I keep that 980ti or think about switching to a Fury x? Currently the Fury X would be about $80 cheaper. The CPU I have is a 5820K is that means anything.

I would advise just keeping your 980 Ti. It is superior to the Fury X at this point.

I picked up Witcher 3 other the weekend. So I'm looking at playing that as well as some shooters and a small time of world of warcraft. Yeah I purchased it throught Amazon so I have 30 days to make up my mind.

 

Also currently my monitor I have doesn't have any display ports so if I did pick up a Fury X i'd have to use HDMI and it would basically turn my 120hz monitor into a 60hz until I upgrade

If you can return it and get all your money back, do it. The 980 ti is better, but not $80 better.

I know when overclocked the 980ti is better than the competition, but lets just say as an example if a person wasn't going to overclock and looking to get 60 or more fps on current and future titles would to the cards be comparable? Or will one still beat out the other at 1440p?

Fury X is, for the most part, equal at stock clocks. At $80 less, it is an even better deal, even compared to an overclocked 980 ti. That 80 bucks can be used to buy another SSD.

I´d stick to the GTX980Ti, it is the fastest GPU. And you´ve got a hybrid design so it´s very quiet as well. This card runs everything flawlessly from 1080p to 1440p in Ultra settings. 4K it is give and take if you wanted all the eye candy you´d need 2 GPUs anyhow, but a single GTX980Ti is definitely even there a good choice.

Would you personally stick with the 980ti hybrid for the cooler temps/oc or would you just get another air cooled brand?

No the hybrid is amazing! Nice temps therefore enough OCing headroom if you have a good sample and it will be silent. No noisy fans spinning up like leaf blowers ;). Just the mono sound of the AIO fan.

 

EDIT: I know you´ve got one fan on the card but that will be no issue.

I was able to overclock the card to

+130 core

+450 memory

+10 core volts

It seems to be stable at this point. Is that a low oc? Should I increase the volts to get more out of the core and memory?

Doesn´t sound low, but you can run a 3D Mark and post your result :).
