4K 144Hz - How many graphics cards do i need?

[rektspeedster]

Hey I'm planning to get 2 ASUS ROG SWIFT PG27UQ Monitors.

They run at 144HZ instead of 60HZ on 4k.

 

Im getting 2 Aorus Xtreme 1080 TI's SLI to run support the fps.

I will be gaming on 4k at 144HZ.

Will I be able to get max fps?

Or will i need more gpu support?

Also is my core fine, it has hyper threading and is better than i7 7700k, it clocks higher.

 

Or should i go for a very high core and thread cpu such as i7 7980xe/ i7 7960x / i7 7940x / i7 7920x / i7 7900x

 

Please reply all in 1 answer

thanks

Go for a higher core count, around 8 will do. As for multiple GPUS go for two or three. Might be hard to find games that support three way

[ARikozuM]

Get two 1080 Ti's and an 8600K or 8700K. 

[Purgent]

Two will be fine.  You don't need all settings maxed to play on 4k due to pixel density.

This ^^^^ And even still it's not possible in a lot of games.

as far as I know goign past 1080p puts lest and less stresso n the CPU as you go higher, also the i7-7700K (well now prob the 8700K) is the top for gaming hands down. it crushes the X99/X299 stuff in straight up gaming combo that with 4K using way less CPU you are set on the CPU most i would say is give it the highest OC you can, it will need it. 

 

Remember the X99/299 stuff is Xeon based, so from the beginning they are slower as they made to spread the load over as many cores as possible where for gaming they only now just (and very very Few) are going past quad cores, hence why the i5 has aged so well.

Only thing that you can hold off on because of pixel density is AA. Everything else you still want.

Yeah I am going for 2 way sli on 1080 ti's

 

So if i get a i7 - 7920x 

Will i be good?

 

No problems?

[Enderman]

You can't add more than two, unless you want issues, lots of workarounds, and bad performance.

[HKZeroFive]

You'll be GPU-bound at 4K. Get the i7-8700K as your CPU, no need to invest into the HEDT platform.

[whoisit1118]

No, you have to get two Titan XPp and 8700k to get any chance at 4k 144hz in most AAA titles.

7920X is a terrible CPU for gaming.

No, its just unnecessary, skylake-x handles gaming fine

[rektspeedster]

Ok so how about 2 TITAN XPs and i7 8700k.

 

Can i reach 144hz at 4k?

 

I don't want to buy and find out I cant.

What CPU do you currently have? Don't get more than 2 1080ti's because they won't work together because nvidia doesn't support it. you will likely even get away with 1 1080ti as most games do not support sli, so the 2nd gpu is inert. a single 1080ti is pretty much capable of 4k 144hz. as long as your cpu is decent, 1 would be good if your on tight budget. but 2 is good for games that are sli optimised (there arent many that scale well though)

no he doesn't. the higher clocking 1080ti will do him well without destroying his bank account as much.

Im not going more than 2 gpus

Im planning on getting the i7 8700k 

 

But people say go with 8 core count for 4k 144HZ 

So Im a bit confused.

 

So far im going for i7 8700k

2 1080ti's is what you want. if the budget is slim and you would rather not get 2. 1 will still get over 100fps in all games

in most modern AAA titles...no you can't...

the cpu is not the limiting factor here. 8 cores will not benefit you and will be a waste of money. the 8700k is the best option. and with overclocking and high frequency ram, no issue at all. 8700k is the best gaming cpu hands down.

2 1080 ti will be plenty of power, but don't expect to play at max settings or ultra preset, as both of these have a bad performance to visual enhancement tradeoff

actually having just looked at becnhmarks. 2 would be best. but it all depends on whether the games you play support sli

The mesh design is worse for gaming than the ring bus design which is why a 7700K can beat the 7920X in most games at the same clocks. 

[rektspeedster]

Well ima be playing high core utilizing ones such as Rust, PUBG, Tomb Raider.

 

sht like that.

 

I just want max fps i can get right now on 4k 144hz.

Money is no issue.
