Gtx 1080 or Gtx 1080 ti for 1440p

[Bunbuns]

Hey guys need some help deciding on the these two specific cards below, prices are in usd and I'm located in Australia 

 

Galax Gtx 1080 HOF edition white for $690

  

Galax Gtx 1080 ti EXOC white for $870

 

I'll be mostly playing games on a 1440p 144mhz monitor (with g sync) and just wanted your opinion as to wether get one of the best gtx1080 or getting the base Gtx 1080 ti. I've thought about getting the 1080  hof first and maybe getting another later however that would mean getting a bigger psu plus single card is always better than sli. Just worried that a single 1080 wouldn't be enough But at the same time saving $180 is always good

 

I do need to stick to Galax white cards for aesthetic reasons as I've got a Snow White build ( I know I know.....) 

 

your advice is greatly appreciated, other specs are below

 

i7 7700k 5ghz @ 1.32v

Asus prime z270-ar mobo

16gb trident z rgb 3000mhz

Deepcool captain 240ex white

Evga g2 750w gold+ psu 

Samsung 960 evo m.2 ssd 500gb

2tb seagate hdd

nzxt s340 white

1080 Ti for that res and FPS!

[Jasun]

I would go with the GTX 1080 for the price and you also have a monitor that has g-sync so frame rate shouldn't be a problem.

[dizmo]

Definitely the 1080Ti, otherwise you shouldn't have purchased a 144HZ monitor.

Also what's wrong with a white build

 

Welcome to the forum!

Get the 1080ti if you can afford it and have nothing better to buy or 1080 if you want to save some money and buy other things... like premium subscription

[Colexd]

If you want to make full use of that 144mhz g-synz monitor, you'd probably need a 1080ti.

[toothlessmaster]

Get the 1080ti because you can show off to your friends ?

[Frankenburger]

Both are good, the TI is better. If you can afford the Ti, then get the Ti.

I use a 1080Ti for 1440p 144Hz as well. 95% of games it completely obliterates on max settings. But even the Ti will sometimes struggle hitting above 100 FPS in some games.

Don't get either! Get a 1070, you'll be a good guy by helping the Used market!

WHY would you get a 1070 on a 1440p 144Hz monitor?

 

can't tell if u were joking but still...

Was a joke

A 1080 is plenty for 1440p at 60fps ultra settings. If you turn them down to high you'll get closer to 80-100 which is probably fine with G-Sync (that's what I do with my 1080 with my 1440p 144hz G-Sync Monitor) but if you want 144fps at high settings you'll need a 1080ti.
