ChokingHazard Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Right now I've got two-way SLI GTX 1080's and a 1920x1080/60hz monitor. Would it be silly to upgrade from my Pascals to Voltas when they are released next year? For 1920x1080 resolution, I doubt that Volta will have any significant performance increase compared to Pascal. Maybe for 1440p and 4K, but not 1080p.
Guest Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Already the GTX 1080 is too much for just 1080p. Save the graphic card money and get at least a 2K monitor. Better if with 144Hz refresh.
kai97 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 SLI 1080s is overkill for 1080p. You should save the money towards a better monitor. I personally have a 3440x1440p monitor and I love it for gaming/multitasking.

27X Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Wrong. 2K is a minimum of 2560x1440(9)/1600(10) and that has nothing to do with math or marketing, that is the agreed upon VESA standard which has been in place for over 15 years.
Leito86 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 If you don't have any kids that you have to keep alive, why not?
27X Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 DCI has no bearing or standing over the VESA standard and is a paid and marketed platform and is promoted for streaming and projecting movies. The 2K VESA standard is QHD which requires a minimum pixel count of 3.686m and a minimum resolution of 2560x1440 If you're done using junior high semantics to lose an argument that never was an argument to begin with because XGA was adopted as the worldwide monitor standard in 1986 which happens to be 19 years before the DCI ever existed, we can move on.
Bazinga Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Ok then, let me take a look at that chart to see who really won this argument. Okay... I'm out, have fun. Jokes aside, if you wanna buy a new TV or computer monitor 2K usually refers to 1440p which is 2560x1440 pixels. Nobody uses 2K the way it's indeed defined, more than 2K pixels horizontal. So yeah, technically speaking 1080p is indeed nearly 2K but who cares? Retailers certainly don't. @OP: You're joking, right?
ChokingHazard Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 Well, there are a few games which can dip below 60fps using twin GTX 1080's even at 1920x1080 on ultra settings. They include the following, just to name a few. Tom Clancy's The Division Rise Of The Tomb Raider Grand Theft Auto 5 Skyrim Special Edition Deus Ex Mankind Divided Watch Dogs 2
RUD3DUD3 Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 yeah, why not you clearly have money than you can count so go for it. 1080sli on a 1080p monitor only at 60hz lol what a waste. a single 1080 can max any game on 1080p at 144hz easily.
nugerumon Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 It's funny how most "should I upgrade?" or "how should I upgrade?" threads are made by people that already have a system that is more powerful than what the majority has. And I always wonder: Is it boasting? Then stop it, it won't make your dick longer. Or do you genuinely not know what to do with all your money? Then donate to charity. Or give GPUs to people who can't afford them Oh, maybe you are bored or hope to crush your sadness with better hardware? Can't help you there On topic: like others said, get more pixels first. SLI (or any other multi-GPU setup) will still lead to micro-stuttering here and there, even if it's become better the last few years. Do you have a SSD yet? And enough RAM?
Poet Olette Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV2swgcRVRw&t=4s Just for an idea. So if you got a 1080 then, ur golden!
ChokingHazard Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 Can I play Tom Clancy's The Division with every single graphics setting and slider completely maxed out at 1920x1080 and never once dip below 60fps using my setup?
I'm The Wabbit Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Shit, I can't even buy a GTX 1070. Let alone a 1080. (FUCKING MINERS.............) Also, is volta confirmed Early, Mid, or Late 2018?

Uuuh maybe. The thing is, The Division like some games has a Resolution scale. That amps up the graphics quite a bit and causes a fps drop of course. If you keep it normal at 100, then I would say Yes. I have a 1060 and can do it, although, I don't usually enable Much antialasing, not because of limitations but just because at 1080p it just seems a bit overkill depending on the game. Most games, I feel like i don't need it. Only game I usually use that stuff is on fallout 4.
