Will a single 780ti superclocked give me ultra on 1440p above or on 60fps?

Solution


I've tried both, I would recommend the MX100. While the 840 EVO might beat it in some benchmarks, their performance is comparable. The real difference is price/GB. It's here where the MX100 really shines. The boot time is also something along the lines of 8-10 seconds. Depending on how clean you keep your startup list.

Again, the 4790K is overkill for minecraft, the GTX 780 Ti is overkill for minecraft. You won't have any problems running it.

As for the monitor, if you have the budget and are willing to spend on it, the 1440p monitor will be a better experience. There's roughly a 56% increase in pixel count...

Yeah but 1.8 is really buggy so he/she may not get great FPS trying to run 1.8 (atleast until the bugs have been worked out). I can say it will be over 60fps (which is all that matters), but yeah there are some differences.

Also, don't get a 144hz 1080p.

Get a 60hz 1080p.

You can't see more than 60hz (last I checked), so it would just be a waste.
 
I run a asus 144hz 1080p monitor and TRUST me you can see a difference between it and my 60hz 1080p. Bf4 is a completely different game at 144hz/120+fps. It's amazing! So for people who say you can't see a difference past 60 have never used a 120hz+ monitor. Trust me it's awesome. That's said 1440p is pretty legit too so

I've played on a 120hz monitor and there is not enough of a difference to justify the price tag. It is slightly quicker. Also, FPS past 60 are pretty much just numbers. I'm no expert, but in my personal experience, anything about 1080p and 60hz is just costing more money for relatively no gain. Don't even get me started on 4k. Five years from now everyone will be running 4k's and I'll still be running 1920x1080 because honestly, how many pixels does someone need to watch something? It's all about sound quality... That is where it does matter.

So if you want to waste your money on monitors that are going to also need more expensive GPU's to run, thus driving the price way beyond the monitor itself, go ahead. However, if you are smart (opinion, so don't be offended), you will just ignore the hype and run 1080p with a decent card and hit 60fps for years to come. There will always be something new and flashy, but if its going to cost more money and isn't much of a difference, I don't see the point.

Depends, but you can really probably even get one of the new 900s that are coming out and run 1080p and be fine. I mean, if you have the money, go for it, but it is a waste.

Really? I've used a 1440p monitor and it's not that different (for me). I guess it just comes down to opinions at the end of the day.

Im surprised you think so, its close to double the amount of pixels of 1080. Did you not think 1080 was much different to 720 too?
 
You say anything past 60fps is just numbers but if I run the two systems I have side by side one with my old 60hz monitor and one with my current 144hz asus 27 inch it's a HUGE difference in game play ESPECIALLY if you play fps shooters online. I own both and didn't just "play on one once" and I can honestly say the 27 inch asus 144hz monitor I purchased was aside from my gpu's one of the most worth while purchases I have ever made for my PC. It was between a 1440p I was looking at or the 144hz and boy was the 144hz worth every penny of the $379.99 I spent on it. Amazing monitor!

Yes 720 is not too different from 1080 for me. The only difference for me is anything 480p and below. Of course if you blow it up on a 50 inch flat screen it looks different but on my 23 inch monitor they both look the same.

I suppose my decisions are more budget-oriented than others though, in all fairness. I will say there ARE differences, but they are not big enough for me to justify the price tag between the two, as well as I, personally, do not need amazing graphics or colors as I am not a graphics designer so I can live with what I already have. I mean if someone has the money to blow on 1440p monitors and 4k monitors, go ahead. However, if I had that kind of money, I would save it :p
