Posted July 28, 2017 At 1080p and even 1440p in some oddly specific scenarios your 1800x WILL bottleneck that 1080 ti. At 4k however, thats a non issue. 4k monitor+another 1080 ti sounds solid af to me CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products.

Posted July 28, 2017 In my opinion the only one of those three options that would give you more headroom and performance you can feel, is the water cooling. the dual displays will give you less fps than you have now and dual 1080ti is just a way of saying "I dont have any other things to spend money on" the improvement there is soo small - unless you after that will upgrade to 2x4K, then it would make sense to start with the dual ti's My Gaming PC: 27833 Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/814103-3-upgrade-options/#findComment-10214640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
