So been watching a bunch of benchmarks videos and it looks at though my 980ti just won't do for 1440p 144hz gaming so what should I upgrade to 1080ti ? And will the rest of my pc be fine I have i7 4790k and 16gb ram.

I really want to be getting over 100fps on the newer games if possible

I find reading article a better barometer of real world performance than the stuff youtubers put out; I find that all to often these videos start out w/ a predetermined conclusion and then go out looking for facts to support it and this leads to picking only games that support it.

As for 144 hz Gaming ... depends on what are you looking for ? Playing all games at 144 fps ? ... playing most games > 60 fps ?

The 980 Ti is still a fine card for 1440p .... wasn't as attractive dollar foir dollar as twin 970s but broke 60 fps in all but 4 or so games in techpowerup's 16 game test suite. That being said, the 10xx series was an incredible step forward over 9xx and the 1080 Ti is about 75% faster than it's predecessor. OTOH, it's...

I think you can if you have a 1080ti. Good thing is you have a "K" cpu so you've got a good headroom for overclocking. I think you'll do fine in 100+ fps.

Sarcasm : Just make sure you don't play any unoptimized Ubisoft games like Ghost Recon wildlands :p

It wont do 1440p 144hz gaming? It will, it may not be hitting 144fps max settings in modern games but even a 1080 wont do that. I play on a 1440p 144hz panel with a 1060 and I quite enjoy it, if I knock down the settings a bit I can get very respectable framerates at 1440p. If you have the money for a 1080 ti go right ahead, it will get close to 144fps in many titles. Yes the 4790k more than enough to fully utilize a 1080 ti in the vast majority of games.

I basically want to upgrade to 1440p for destiny 2 I'll obviously play other games but that will be my main game and there's no pc requirements out yet but I've heard people say it shouldn't be too hard to run. So thinking if I get a new 1440p monitor and 1080ti I should maybe hit 144fps

That being said, the 10xx series was an incredible step forward over 9xx and the 1080 Ti is about 75% faster than it's predecessor. OTOH, it's overclocking potential was far less than the 9xx series card @ 11.8% ... about 1/3 of the 980 Ti's 33%.

With a G-Sync monitor, you get the option of using ULMB instead of G-Sync from about 75 fps and up ... so I understand the 100 fps target. Current 165Hz 1440p monitors can do ULMB up to 120 Hz and 144 Hz can do 100 hz.


Out of the 22 games in TPus current 22 game test suite, these 8 don't make the 100 fps point w/ 1080 Ti, tho 2 come close:

Ghost Recon WL 60.6
Anno 2205 60.7
Dues Ex: MD 71.5
TW Warhammer 78.4
Watcg Dogs 2 78.6
Civil VI 81.2
Fallout 4 96.8
Dishonored 2 98.7

The other thing is that factory OCs aren't doing a smuch as they used to an nVidia has taken a page out of AMDs book and mot aggressively clocking cards in the box, leaving less OC headroom

But yes, the 1080 Ti will give you a substantial boost over the 980 Ti and, and I am saying this for the 1st time in many generations, cost and performance wise, moving up to the 1080 Ti will be faster than adding a 2nd last generation top tier card.
