GTX1080 Compatibility

[Ace Biscuit]

Hey all,

I'm thinking on upgrading to a GTX1080, I'm just not too sure if my current PC specs can handle it.

 

REASON FOR UPGRADE:

-I am getting an HTC Vive

-I am also getting a 21:9 1440p 144hz monitor. (Which needs a 980Ti / greater GPU)

 

MY CURRENT PC SPECS:

-Corsair Carbide 500R Mid-Tower Case

-950Watt PSU

x2-Nvidia GTX780Ti's

-Asus Z87 Motherboard

-Intel i7-4770k LGA1150 (Haswell)

-2TB HDD

-250GB SSD

 

Please tell me if I have missed something.

Why wouldn't it handle it? You already had SLI 780 Ti which is a beast setup.

Yeah you will be fine.

If you really want you can even get 2 1080's without any problem.

Ok. Sounds great! I'll do some more research. Can't wait to get all this new tech.

I don't really know much about PSU / GPU's. Just checking with someone else's opinion.
