Step Up from 1080 to 1080Ti for 1440p?

[winningsince1337]

Currently have a EVGA GTX 1080 FTW2 iCX. For $181.48 I can step up to the EVGA 1080ti Black Edition. Currently have a 1440p 60Hz monitor. The most demanding thing I play is Shadow of War or PUBG. I know I don't really need to upgrade. But do you think it's worth it given the current state/market of GPUs? PS: I have 4 days to decide to start the step up process or not.

Current other specs are: 6700k, 16gb DDR4, 1TB 840 Evo, and a 4tb mechanical drive for long term storage.

I wouldn't bother; saving for a better GPU down the line would be a better purchase unless you intend to get a 1440@144Hz monitor.

its a 30-35% jump in performance, although you wont realy see any of it because your monitor is a bottleneck even for the 1080

Just save your money for the next gen cards

if you plan on selling the 1080 ti when the new cards come out, go for it, the resale value difference will make up for most of the 181.48, but that's just me.

Doesn't seem worth it to me either so I would save up till Intel's and AMD's new CPU's are released and tested for performance gains and I would do this as well for your GPU upgrade

From what I've seen a 1080 is very good for 1440p. If I were in your shoes I would save for better card down the line when your 1080 begins its decline. But who knows, I may be wrong. Also, if I'm not mistaken, PUBG can run over 90 FPS on max settings on a 1080 on 1440p, but if you can really tell the difference between the FPS then get it.

not worth it. keep your 1080.

Meh I wouldn't bother. At least with my 1080 with 1440p I haven't had a single game that I couldn't just click the ultra preset and run it at 60fps. I know Ghost Recon Wildlands can't, but I don't play it, and it's a massive outlier where high settings literally doubles performance.
