I managed to find a 1070ti for real cheap. Interested in getting a 1440p screen eventually. Would 120-144hz be viable with an OCed 1070ti and 4690k at 4.4ghz or should I stick to 1440p 60hz?

EdEddnEddy posted:Just as a benchmark I am pushing a 1440P Ultrawide with G-Sync at up to 100FPS with my 980Ti and it's doing alright. Destiny 2 is my current jam and it hangs around 70+FPS at almost all times so a 1070Ti should be a decent chunk faster since its closer to a 1080. Ah nice. that's good to know. how worth it would ray tracing be if I were to mostly play in borderless fullscreen or windowed? appreciate the help.

Zero VGS posted:EVGA sent me a marketing email for a GPU labor day sale, such as a 1070 with Destiny 2 + Expansions for $360, seems not terrible since you can step up from them as well: 1080s have been going for 400ish now and then. best to keep an eye on those. Lmao. Evga wants 170 for a 950 on that page.

Turns out the hardware failure was in our brains all along. I'm loving my 1070ti but I also had similar issues with hanging and crashing as some other posters. Think it was some form of driver conflict or the OC on my i5 bot being as stable as I thought since clearing the bios and doing a refresh install of windows seems to have fixed it.

I kinda like the windows to an extent since they let you monitor your interior without having to remove the side panel. I'm less fond of how many cases have flat/smooth front panels now

That one dude still looking for gpus? You can get 1070tis for about 360 when they go on sale and they're not too far off from the 2070 in raw power

Fauxtool posted:thats a pretty wallet friendly disability. 90 to 144hz was such a huge leap for me that im looking forward to 240hz just so i can keep up with the 13 year olds who cant afford that kind of hardware. I honestly have difficulty noticing any real difference around the 90-120 threshold.

Stickman posted:Might be a good way to blow the fans before your warranty is up so you can get a nice upgrade if the old cards are out of stock. I got a 5 year warranty on my 1070ti. I'm hoping it croaks around year 4 or 5 for a sweet step up

Murvin posted:So I jumped the gun and upgraded to a 2560x1440 monitor before my hardware was probably ready for it and some games are struggling a bit. I am using the old and formerly very popular i5 4460 cpu and a GTX 1070 gpu. At this point I know I need a new CPU and that may be bottle-necking me, but is my GPU also good enough for 1440p or should I be considering a step up? If so, is there a current card in the sweet spot for that resolution right now? 1070 should be fine so long as you don't mind turning some settings down.

Cygni posted:Yeah, evga actually works to keep their customers and i appreciate that enough to basically only buy their stuff. Since I've had my 2080, they have a) released a new BIOS after launch that raised the power limit beyond competing cards, b) Sent me a free powerlink, c) Sent free color trim pieces for the card to swap to if I wanted. Their free OC software is good and far less annoying visually than afterburner, their community managers actually provide meaningful information, and they actually listen to feedback and improve the products. And I haven't had to use their warranty/RMA, but I've heard it is the best too. Sure, all of this is little stuff... but it is all just extra benefits for the dollar that I appreciate. The fact that the cards aren't meaningfully more expensive seals the deal. I had a G3 PSU go bad on me and they replaced it ez pz. RMA call took like 10 mins and they filled out all the info for me.

I know it make no sense, but when I unplugged the Steelseries GameDac from my pc, it actually stopped all the lag and video studdering issues I been having for the past month. I switched motherboard BIOs, used my 1080ti and my girlfriend's pc and it did the same thing. Don't those game ones come with a bunch of audio processing effects? Something on the chain may be goofing up

Rolo posted:Is it a 2 plug or 3 GPU? My understanding is to use 2 cables for 2 plugs but you can use 2 cables (one split) for 3 plugs. It's the FTW3 with 3 plugs. Googling tells me using one split is fine but I'm paranoid.
