Because people hear one thing once on a forum, or stated by a few more outspoken members and it instantly becomes fact.

They don't bother to do their own research, as few seem to these days.

The 1080 is not a ultra 4k card for many Titles. Thats a fact. Arogance will not change that.

 

 

"But, but you always can lower settings"...ya right ?

Arrogance? Are you daft? The OP didn't say anything about wanting to play at max settings, he simply said 4k.

Some people are fine with High, which takes a lot less power, or turning off certain settings.

As for you last comment, I feel sorry for pretentious elitists like you.

I did. and he quoted me. And therefore, I take it has he think what I said was wrong.

At it isnt.

A 1080 will not run Witcher 3 at 60 FPS at max settings. 

It just can't. You must be smoking if you believe it can.

 

Can't do GTA 5 on max either. You would only get around 40 FPS.

 

But if you turn down some settings, yes, possibly.

Obviously, not with unnecessary effects like Anti-aliasing (no difference at 4k) and bullshit gimmicks like Hairworks, which is designed to cripple performance. Bloom also affects performance adversely, and it looks horrible. A few other things that can be turned down without any visual difference are-

 

• Shadows. No difference between ultra and medium, but you gain a ton of performance.
• Grass density- no difference between high and ultra, and you gain performance.
• Water- no visual difference between high and ultra.

Even without using these three tweaks, you should see 60FPS locked everywhere but Novigrad and Beauclair, which will even bring a Titan X to its knees with the sheer number of NPCs, objects, and unique meshes. It'll kick the CPU's arse too.

This is perfect all most value for the performance 100%... Expect 80 frames in some 4K titles  

You've made some terrible choices.

• Why are you paying a hundred pounds for 16GB of RAM?!?! You can get that for 75, and have it run in dual channel. This choice is so bad, it confounds me.
• The V300 SSD is terrible. It's cancerous. After Kingston's controller bait-and-switch, it's likely to hand in performance slower than that hard drive.
• If you're going to get an AIO, get a good one or stick to an air cooler. There's no point in buying an anemic 120mm watercooler which will be outperformed by several cheap tower-style air coolers.

@Manualkiller- avoid that SSD like the plague, get a more powerful cooler (240/280mm AIO or a good air cooler like the Dark Rock Pro 3 if your case doesn't support larger radiators). Also, buy your RAM in kits. The rest of this build is just okay. Remember that not all games support SLI, and many games that support it don't support it well, which means scaling will be very far from perfect. Performance doesn't double- it'll increase by about 50-75% in most cases.

I posted what I think is a much better build earlier. Here-

Why does everyone seem to think that? A GTX 1080 is more than capable at running the latest triple-A titles maxed out at 4k 60FPS at at least high settings. His budget also allows for a 6700k, a beefy cooler an SLI-ready overclocking motherboard, 16GB of RAM, a 240GB SSD, a 2TB HDD, and a 650W Tier 3 semi-modular power supply.

 

Remember that he doesn't need a case, although I could fit one in.

It has room for an ample overclock with that cooler and motherboard, and both the motherboard and power supply are of good quality, and will allow a seamless upgrade to GTX 1080 SLI.

 

Just make sure you have a good 4k monitor for this. Also, you're going to need 4x text and UI scaling, but this won't affect image quality.

Not sure that board supports SLI. According to the specs on Asus website it only supports Crossfire.

Huh. Damn it, PCPartPicker. Will edit.

@Manualkiller- That motherboard doesn't support SLI. I replaced it-
