Gtx 1080ti

[Jloooo]

Hi Team, 

 

i was just wondering, is it worth to upgrade 1080ti from 780ti? If so, 1080ti sc2 or ftw3? Also wanted to upgrade my cpu to i7 7800k? This is for gaming purposes.

 

Thanks Team,

What CPU do you have now?

What CPU do you have now? What PSU? Full specs?

You mean the i7 7800x? if you do not plan on going up on x299 platform then you should stick with the i7 8700k.

 

780ti to 1080ti is perfect upgrade.

Well, considering the rest of your system won't result in a bottleneck and you actually need an upgrade...

yeah, that would be a good upgrade. The 1080Ti is about 110% better than the 780ti.

Coffee Lake is 8700, not 7800

 

I would suggest, whichever is cheaper. You'll generally be able to OC them about the same.

Oh man, my bad. Lol is there a huge diffrence between those sc2 and ftw3?

All good, so many different SKUs out by intel, makes it even worse that the 7800K is actually a thing too x.x

 

I think the difference between the two, out of the box, is about 0.5 to 1 FPS difference but when you OC them the SC2 pulls ahead of the FTW by about the same amount.

What resolution/framerate are you gaming at?

Upgrading from a haswell i7 to a 8700k will probably only

benefit you notably if you game at 120 or 144 hz.

A 1080 ti would be total overkill for 1080p 60 fps ultra,

even for 1440p 60 fps or 1080p 120 hz youll waste most of the extra performance

of the upgrade even in demanding games.

Well i guess sc2 will be just fine. Lol it’s like 200 bucks diffrence.

 I like to play at 144hz 1080p. I was just wondering if it would be worth to upgrade my computer now. Cause my computer serves me for like 4 real good years.

Depends if you are dissatisfied with your gaming performance and if you want to burn some cash on new toys.

Your current setup should play everything smoothly @ 1080p on ultra, if you are really about high framerates I suppose a 1080 ti + a 8700k will keep you pegged at 144 fps for 1000$+.

Personally id first upgrade to a nice, big, higher resolution monitor with gsync and then upgrade my gpu as needed.

Yeah that’s what i wouldve thought that it’s still ok. But then even on csgo every now and then gives me a fps drop. The reason why i want to upgrade is i don’t feel the smooth gaming now with my current one. I do have a benq xl 2720z atm. so i think that would do me for now.
