I just got a EVGA 1080 SC ACX 3.0 but have not yet opened it.
I got it in hopes of upgrading my monitor to a higher refresh rate in the near future.
it looks like a 1080 won't quite pull 100fps at 1440p which is what I was hoping for, but I can't find any benches for this particular card with it's significant factory overclock. I am also not sure how much difference that actually makes to fps.
Here are some specs:

Base Clock: 1708 MHZ
Boost Clock: 1847 MHz
Memory Clock: 10010 MHz Effective
CUDA Cores: 2560
Bus Type: PCI-E 3.0
Memory Detail: 8192MB GDDR5X
Memory Bit Width: 256 Bit
Memory Speed: 0.2ns
Memory Bandwidth: 320 GB/s


Anyone have any experience with this card? Is it worth it to pay a few hundred more dollars for a Ti?

I am currently satisfied with the detail I get on my 1060 6gb 1080p setup, but I can't really get a 1080p IPS 100+hz monitor anywhere. I really just want smoother game play not higher resolution, but it appears it's the only way.

2089 mhz core clock and 9040 memory. I can get it past these settings I just haven't felt like messing with them again lol

A lot of Dying Light, (which the 1060 can do around 80 to 110 in with v-sync off)

Mostly single player games though.

Wolfenstein series
Evil Within series
Dishonored series
The Witcher 3
Hellblade:Senuas Sacrifice
Metro 2033/Redux

But I wanted some future proofing for upcoming games like Metro:Exodus, and Death Stranding (I imagine those will be very demanding titles). I'd hate to upgrade to 1440p then be getting like 40 fps, or have to play on medium settings.

Really? That is good to hear. What have you got it overclocked to?
