I am looking for a graphics card for my system to play games on ultra 60fps on my 60hz 2560x1080 21:9 ultra wide monitor. I will be choosing between the GTX 980 and the GTX 980ti (both second hand). The 980 costs almost half the cost of a 980ti but the 980ti is still within my budget. If i spend less, I will save and upgrade to a newer Pascal card at the end of the year. I am also considering the GTX 1060 but that is almost the price of a second hand 980ti in New Zealand.
My system specs are:
i5 4690k overclocked to 4.4ghz
Asrock fatal1ty z87 professional motherboard
FSP Aurum AU-650m 650w power supply
16gb 4x4gb ddr3 G.Skill 1600mhz RAM
The proposed 980 is a G1 gaming wind-force
and the 980ti would be an EVGA super-clocked+
I am planning to play games like GTA 5, Witcher 3, Far Cry Primal and ultra modded Skyrim. I wish to play all of these games with sweetfx and other graphics enhancing mods without dipping below 40fps, preferably at constant 60fps. I really dont know if the 980ti is worth the extra cost at this resolution. I am slightly concerned about the 980ti's 2gb Vram advantage (total of 6) over the 980 but im not sure if it is worth it for the games i wish to play. I will consider the 1060 but id rather go with the 980 and save quite a bit of cash for relatively the same performance.
