Could I game at 8k with one RTX 2080 Ti? I think that the one 8k monitor out there from Dell requires two HDMI 1.4 inputs to get 60 Hz. So I would two RTX 2080 Ti to game at 8K at 60 Hz in SLI. Assuming the game supports SLI. If the game doesn't support SLI I could only game at one card and be stuck at 30 FPS at 8k?

The CPU does matter, as does the motherboard and RAM. Sure, most the work load is done by the GPU, but the CPU still has to calculate physics for the graphics....this becomes more complicated the higher the resolution and the more powerful the GPU/s are to handle this data.

Dell's 8k monitor doesn't have any HDMI ports. It has 2 display ports. If you use one, you only get 30hz. You need to use both to get 8k @ 60hz.

I doubt 30fps would be possible in most recent AAA titles even with a 2080Ti. Remember that 8k is pushing 4x the pixels of 4k.

Right so could I get 60 FPS on Dell's monitor with a single rtx 2080 ti FE?

I see some people get about 30 FPS in witcher 3 with two GTX 1080 Ti in SLI and I see other builds with four GTX titan Xp in SLI getting 60 FPS at 8k

So if the games don't support SLI can't really game on a single Pascal card in 8k resolution. I'm wondering with RTX cards if this will also be the case. I think they support 8k resolution, but could I get 8k resolution on a single RTX 2080 Ti FE with a reasonable FPS? If not and i need two, 8k resolution is not possible for games that don't support SLI?

Just wait until the reviews come out so we can all see how these things really perform compared to the current cards in gaming etc.

I seriously doubt a lot of what has been said.

At this point it's all marketing and BS.

An RTX 2080Ti is over $1,000..... They can have it for that much, although I am sure it's a beast from looking at the specs on the card.

Said about what?

I preordered a single RTX 2080 Ti FE. I don't know that it's worth getting two. So I'm holding off. I'm upgrading from a GTX 960 2 GB lol. Upgrading is must for me to play newest games. I think GTX 960 2 GB was listed as minimum requirement for example fallout 76.

Well you can upgrade NOW and take advantage of the sales on the GTX 1080Ti, B&H has some good ones on now. Like $650 for the EVGA GTX 1080Ti SC Black Edition and it comes with a EVGA 650W G2 PSU.

Or you can wait and see what the RTX 2080Ti and RTX 2080 actually do.


I never preorder anything, always wait and see what the cards really will do before buying them.

That said I have a GTX 1080Ti FTW3 coming, got that and a EVGA 750W G2 PSU and Power Link for $679 From B&H. Ordered it last week. I doubt the RTX 2080Ti will be worth twice what I just paid for the GTX 1080Ti FTW3, works out to $540 for the card.

I want to know your computer specs?

Coming from a GTX 960 to possibly 2 2080Ti cards in SLI is a huge jump, and while most of the increased work load for an 8K monitor is going onto the GPUs, your CPU and motherboard will have an increase in load too. Just about anyone considering so much GPU power would have a top end CPU, RAM and motherboard.

And I think the RTX 2080Ti's are 280W TDP....

So yeah he would need a high end machine for sure.

i thought like 4k and 8k was mostly GPU power, CPU don't matter so much, here's my current build, I have a 4 core CPU, should be enough for now? I was thinking of going to i7-8060k sense it's the fastest CPU I believe at the moment and 6 core, would give me most FPS, but then I would need new MOBO and DDR4 RAM as well

GPU: GTX 960 2GB
PSU: 1000 W
CPU: i7-4790
RAM: DDR3, 16 GB, 2 sticks each 8 GB, 1600 MHz
MOBO: Custom Dell made for Alienware X51 R2

Then the motherboard has to be able to supply this data to the card/s, and on cheaper boards, the 2nd GPU may only have a 4x PCIe connection....which doesn't matter on low end cards, but top end cards run better on at least 8x.
