1080 or 1080ti

[JacksonE]

Hey guys basically I'm in the mid of upgrading my pc. Currently 1080p 60hz with a gtx 970.

 

Ok I'm wanting to go to 1440p but unsure if I u should go 1440p 60hz with the 1080 or get a 1080ti and go with 1440p 144hz

 

Bare in mind I know to the monitors that are going to be brought and are both 24 inch size. I'm kinda stuck on what's best because I kinda want to future proof my pc as much as possible. The new hardware will be on a 1700x cpu so no bottleneck.  What would you guys doo

If you are going to future proof as much as possible then obviously would be 1080ti and 1440p 144hz. If you are talking about sensible and budget, then depends on the games you play. If you don't really play much fps, then 1080 with 1440p 60hz will be good enough...

If your budget is OK with it, 144hz, or even 75hz is a major improvement over a 60hz experience.

 

The 1080 Ti costs more than the 1080, but it also is more performance per dollar than the 1080, according to the LTT 1080 Ti review:

 

 

If you got the money, I'd go with 1440p 144hz, and the 1080 Ti. I personally wouldn't buy a 60hz monitor for gaming, anymore.

what he said.
once you go above 80fps there's no coming back

do you have "this" much to spend, or do you have "THIS" much to spend?

 

if that draws the picture of what your answer will be. one is the clearly superior experience, the other is the clearly cheaper experience.

I have about 1200 to spend for monitor and gpu then I'm sorted for like 5 years lol

Keep your 970 and wait for Volta/Vega.

Only thing I've read up about volta/vega is q4 this year in what case I cba waiting 8 months for a new gpu lol. I play games on average maybe 40-50 hours a week so it gets used alot
