Help chosing GPU

[RyanVDL]

Hey,

Looking for some help upgrading my gpu. Currently 280X but thats irrelevant. Im looking at buying a 1440 144hz monitor (predator or swift not too sure yet). What I want to know is if a 980 will be able to run most AAA titles at max settings at 144fps or whether i will have to go with a 980ti or titan. Anyone have any advice?

Thanks guys

yes it would but! you could save money by geting a 970

You will probably be fine with THIS generation of AAA titles (AA off), but you won't have a lot of head room for the future.

I would see if you can squeeze a 980Ti into your budget. It offers much more bang for the buck. There is also a massdrop for a 980Ti for $619 with a $30 MIR

Also don't get a titan.

1440p 144hz ? I doubt it.

Most people on line say 980ti is best for consistent frame rates and future title. Its also easily SLIable in the future

a 970 would have a lot of trouble doing 1440 at a high frame rate. I was running a 970 with 3440x1440 and in GTAV only had about 30fps

Yeah I was also looking at getting some head room for the future. Im also running 2 1080p Monitors, running non gaming things like facebook and streams and what not. Will that effect the performance from the Ti at all?

I *think* those types of apps don't really draw much gpu performance. I use a PS2 emulator, and even that is not enough to make my 980Ti work over 40% (silent fan mode under 40%)

I recommend you wait till the new generation of GPUs come out, and then get the most powerful card you can buy. I'm sure you can make do with your 280x until then
