Hello all,
So I have been "struggling" with this since the TitanX was announced all those days ago. Full disclosure I like shinny new things, it's a problem I'm trying to deal with and failing misearable. Before we start here is my full rig as it currently sits: my rig. So right now I use my computer primarily for gaming, streaming on twitch, and listening to music. I play all different games (DayZ, Arma III, Battlefield, CSGO, Cities:Skylines, etc) I have an EVGA SC GTX 980, i7 4790k (not OC), and my 3 monitors are an ROG Swift(1440p), an Asus 1080p 144hz, and an HP with 1680 x 1050 res. I stream at 720p while playing at 1440p.
How could I increase the FPS on my Swift? I game on the ROG and on the Asus I have my twitch channel up(with video to monitor quality), chat, and chrome for music. On the HP I only have OBS up.
If I enabled my integrated graphics card and hooked up the ASUS and HP to it would that alleviate some of the stress on the 980 and increase it's performance? From what I've read on this site it looks like this is possible but I am not sure of the repercussions of doing this. Would it put strain on my CPU? Would this offer any benefit? My other option is purchasing the TitanX. Would I notice a considerable difference in performance on screen or would it all be in my head at this point? In addition to this it looks like EVGA is releasing a SC version of the X, would it be worth waiting for this or possibly even holding out for the 980TI? What about SLI 980s, I know it would offer a boost over the Titan with the caveat that sli comes with it's issues and I would prefer anything that could be of issue. I can't go with an AMD as I use the Swift that has gsync. So AMD is out of the equation for now. Also, I don't have a 4k monitor yet but I'm sure I'll head that direction at some point within the next year or 2.
Decisions decisions.
Just a couple notes: I have a few days left to return my 980 as I replaced a 970 for it so in my mind half of the cost is already sunk if I went with a TitanX.
