1080p 144Hz, X61 on GTX 1080?

Here is Firestike Extreme showing the CPU at 99% for the entirety of the test, minus the physics test.

first of all the first test uses GPU only, Combined test uses CPU and GPU, and it's getting 22 FPS, that's either at 4k or 1440P so ofc there won't be any bottleneck, i've said that before

an ancient i3 can hit 300+ fps in game...........

 

That's because i3s have faster single core, thats the point.

and what 90%? there's no overall CPU usage... 

Overall is the top marked CPU. The one under it marked CPU1 was hitting 90%

 

The point I'm making is that your remark of never hitting 144FPS is false at least in esports games where FPS is the most important. In GTAV I can do pretty well to, at least over 60Hz.

That is my video of my PC running at 1080p.

top marked CPU is CPU Temp not usage

i wasn't saying you won't enjoy playing, i said you won't take advantage of you GPU and your monitor in AAA games, but sure have fun whos stopping you

oh okay Firestrike Extreme is heavy on the GPU, try Firestrike non Extreme (idk what it's called) and look at the Combined Test

also i though't you were going to buy the GTX 1080, not that you already have it.

in that case get the 144 HZ monitor there's nothing wrong with that at all, you'll use your monitor more when you upgrade later.

I don't really expect to get 144 in AAA games, but 120Hz monitors are not as common. 

what monitor do you have now? i guess it's always a good upgrade, and you can upgrade cpu later when ram price drop if ever. If you have a 1080@60 and can only do one upgrade, the monitor is a smarter upgrade than the cpu.

Not planning to upgrade the CPU any time soon.

 

Running firestrike last night the GPU hit 82*. I think if I get a monitor i will swap the X61 onto the GPU.
