Hey everyone!
Question for everyone looking for some advice.
I have a 1440p / 144hz / G-SYNC display. About two weeks ago, I sold off my 980 Ti FTW.. the card was loud and was starting to loose its value (plus aftermarket cooling support was horrible)... ended up getting around $360 for it.
I was looking at possibly just getting a EVGA 1080 FTW Hybrid for $560 or the SC for $510, I am having a hard time justifying the extra money for the 1080 Ti... with my g-sync monitor, in my opinion really the difference between the two cards won't be massive seeing game play wise wont be much unless I stare at my FPS counter. I feel this I can save a few bucks, seeing I made the investment in a high-end gaming monitor.
I play DOOM, Overwatch, BF1 and thats about it. CIV 6 & ARMA are CPU bound.
I thought about getting the just a EVGA 1080 SC then stepping up in 90 days to hopefully a non-FE 1080 Ti.
1080 Now with Price drop...
$360 + 200 = 1080 Gaming Hybrid ($560)
$360 + 150 = 1080 SC ($510)
1080 Ti
$360 + $340 = 1080 TI ($700 Founders - don't want anything to do with the cooling.)
$360 + $400 = 1080 Ti ($7?? AIB / Non-FE - guessing on price)
$240 different to a FE Edition (won't be buying)
$300 atleast for a AIB 1080 Ti
Maybe this week AIB 1080Ti's will drop?
I want a quiet, high performing card. Tired of hearing the fan noise.
Thoughts?
