Recommend me a GPU for 1440p, 60fps, Ultra or High settings

[atled]

I was originally going to wait for the 1070 to come down in price to $379 but I don't see that happening any time soon. I currently have two 2gb 770s and they're starting to drive me crazy since I can't run games at 1440p very well with these. I need someone to either slap me in the face and tell me to wait even longer or suggest another card that would get the job done. I don't see myself running 4K any time soon as well.

GTX 980 ti. And the price should be decreasing in about 2-4 weeks.

Wait for the NDA to lift on the RX 480, June 29th.  $250 could be all you need to spend.

Try to buy a used GTX 980 Ti or *slaps your face* wait for the prices to go down on GTX 1070.

What's the price I should be aiming to get one at?

Never mind  the msi one is $444.. Cheaper to buy the GTX 1070

That's sounding like the best option for price and performance.

What's the ideal price for a 980ti?

RX 480 for current games, but probably not for future games. 1070 is probably your best bet right now until Vega.

RX 480 for 200$

RX 480 doesn't sound like a 1440p card. Either get a 980 Ti on discount or suck it up and pay $420 for a 1070 (if you can find one).

[SkilledRebuilds]

Well I can say you need something faster than a GTX 980, say the 980Ti/1070/1080, or the R9-Fury/RX 480-OC

My OC'd 970 can't sustain 60fps in all titles @ 1440p DSR even with ample Vram left over. Usually bad PC ports are the cause eg.: Assassins Creed Unity/Syndicate being 40-50fps Ultra spec. You need more power than that obviously.

The Rx 480 is not a 1440p card. It would play current titles decently, but in a year or so it wouldnt be enough.

[stconquest]

Wow, you geniuses.  How do you assume to know what a card can or can't do without any comparable benchmarks?  Leaks have shown the RX 480 to perform above an AMD Fury.  I don't know if those are true, but there is a case forming for a decent amount of scale-able performance from increasing it's clock.

 

See, the thing is... waiting two weeks costs nothing.

 

The RX 480 has a VRM equipped that could rival the stock GTX 1080's VRM... if there is decent voltage control this could be a very interesting launch.

I just bought a new one from Neweggs Ebay store for $409 (EVGA Classified). I've seen some used go on forums for $350, new ones seem to be $400 at their lowest atm.

9800GTX is like 30 bucks on Ebay, might run out of Vram at 1440P with AA but you can run Need for Speed Underground no problems.

[Praesi]

TitanX 980ti 1070 1080.

[Overkilled]

To be fair I keep my 970 over 60 fps at 1440p, just not completely maxed out on most games.

leaks point to performance on par with a Fury and that is more than enough for 1440p ultra

same could be said about the 1070 when Vega drops.

people will still play the same titles in a year and it is not like games just in a year needs lots of more power, if you can play a demanding new game at ultra 1440p right now like a 980 and fury can do most of the time, then in a year it would be high/ultra on the new titles or just ultra, we do not move that fast in tech, it seems like we move fast for people that know nothing about tech and don't follow it, but tech moves slowly and steady forward.

A good tip to get more frames is just to turn down anti aliasing, because you don't need that much at 1440p.

Also moving forward with  tech well only mean more DX12 support which is a lot more beneficial for AMD cards than that of Nvidias.
