Hey LTT Forums,

 

I have a pretty old pc(going on the 5th year I believe) which was still doing more than okay, that is until I upgraded to a 1440p Monitor.

Soon after the upgrade AA became a dream and I would struggle to reach 120 fps even on low. Example: R6 The Siege. All Low apart from Textures, no AA. Maximum FPS: 100, Average FPS: 90.

 

I'm looking to upgrade my PC but from what I've read I'd need something close to 2x 980 Tis to reach 120+ fps in modern games on high settings. Which is a bit out of my budget. At this point I'm considering waiting for Pascal, but not sure.

 

I'm from Europe(You can compare prices to amazon.co.uk) and I'm looking to spend around $1200(~830 pounds).

 

Any suggestions/tips/general advice is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!

I mean, 2x Fury Xs could probably do the job and they tend to be cheaper. Cost about 850 pounds though on Amazon... Look around through pcpartpicker I guess to try and find cheaper prices.

Those are fine fps in my opinion. You are being greedy now.

I'm not familiar with 120/144hz monitors because I'm not rolling in money, but is it really a big deal to have like 80fps?  Because asking for 120+fps on AAA titles at high settings in 1440 is even often asking too much of 2 980ti's.  I think on some level you have to be realistic here.

I was gonna say, dude, 100FPS is fine till i see you're running 144Hz, well to squeeze that much performance at 1440p, hands down, you'll need 2x980Ti
