Hey guys,
currently have this hardware and need some help!!
fx 8350 AMD build
M5Afx990 pro r2.0 motherboard
2 strix GTX 970 in SLI
128 samsung SSD
500GB HDD
320GB HDD
antec 620W high current Gamer
CM hyper 212 EVO
corsair S.P.E.C-02 mid tower case..
Display:
Acer XB280HK 2K4K G-sync monitor
** yes i know im gonna catch crap for running that PSU with all this..... but the funny thing is , i havent had a problem even once yet and it has been running like this for a few months playing games like castlevania LoS 2, CoD advanced warefare, FFXIV, Metro 2033, crysis 2 , batman arkham origins, H1Z1, Borderlands 2, DMC, games like that pushing the GPU's to the max in 4k with a few settings turned down for a solid 60fps and no problems.
first question..... switching to the new PCIe 3.0 sabertooth..... how much of a difference will i see in 4k resolution??
second question.... what would make more sense for more FPS and ultra settings at 4k ?? is there any cheaper suggestions?? i know there a few roads to travel here..... #1 - 3rd strix GTX-970...... which would also include a new PSU obviously first of all(which i plan to swap for a 900w antec high current gamer since i had a great experience with this one) and also, i will need a new case....
possibly will also need a smaller cooling solution on the cards to fit them which brings around talks of water blocks and custom liquid cooling
solution #2..... sell the 970s keep the case, get 2 strix GTX 980s, swap the PSU and leave most everything as is which will also be very expensive.....and this would also benefit from the sabertooth 3.0 PCIe ???
i just want all settings jacked to thge max on every game in 4k with seeing atleast 80 fps on my framerate monitor to account for drops to stay above 55-60 fps at all times as the monitor is 60hz with g-sync
please help... lol im neck deep in lands unknown!!!! lol i know what i want, just need to know what to do to get there!!!
dont get me wrong, i am very very very pleased with how this currently runs as its my first build, gaming went to another level, but i want the 1080 smoothness at 4k since i now am already in 4k
Thanks in advance guys!!!
