Should I even bother with volta at 1080p gaming?

Fixadent · Sep 10, 2017

If I'm still gaming at 1920x1080/60hz should I even bother with Volta, or should I keep my GTX1080 SLI?

I doubt that upgrading from Pascal to Volta will have any dramatic performance improvement for 1080p gaming.

1440p and 4K yes, 1080p, not so much.

Keep what you have, there is no need to upgrade for 1080p gaming. GTX 1080 are already overkill for 1080p gaming as it is. Also when you upgrade now or in the future, don't bother wasting money on SLI as more and more games do not support it or scale well with it. Some games will even give lower performance compared to using just a single card.

Sli 1080's @ 1080p 60Hz is major overkill, that is better suited for 1440p 144Hz. There is zero point upgrading your gpu's as they are not limiting performance. You would be better looking for a monitor upgrade to properly utilise the gpu's you have.

Volta likely wont be out for quite a while. This is a better question to ask when volta is actually on the horizon. I have heard the next nvidia gpu lineup is just going to be a pascel refresh not volta. Why do you have a 1080 sli combo at 1080p 60hz? A single 1080 is capable of maxing out pretty much anything at 1080p 60fps.

Well, there are a few games that are hardware hogs like Tom Clancy's The Division, Rise Of The Tomb Raider, Skyrim Special Edition, Grant Theft Auto 5, which can sometimes dip below 60fps using flagship graphics cards, even at 1080p.

Maybe in the future I'll get a 1440p monitor or a 1080p monitor with a high refresh rate.
