Help! 980Ti vs 1080 at 3440 x 1440

[wunkley]

I'm using a 980ti with a X34a and it hits 60fps in most situations. Only takes the odd setting dropped if there's any struggle.

I thought you'd gone SLI Stringo? - after a lot of deliberation/ fannying around

 

[Things change I've changed]

Still using a 980ti @ 3440x1440 and it's running games fine with most settings on. I'd save the money on GFX Card and put it towards a monitor with G-Sync.

Chose to do this myself and it has been one of the best upgrades I've done, much more noticeable than a few extra frame on a old 60hz monitor.

I did have SLI, but it was on air and the heat was annoying me. I've just installed a custom loop but one ti was reference (INNO3D Hybrid) and the other was custom PCB (EVGA Classified).

Note the deliberate offset on the pipe going from the GPU to the bottom Rad... I sold the Classified and am just about to pick up an EVGA SC to pair with the INNO3D.

Nice one

Well looking at the X34 monitor, the reviews and forums do not look good, so might have to avoid that which would mean the ASUS at £1000 or the LG at £600.

The 980ti seems to be the best choice for the cash and put the rest towards a monitor/future trade in.

Then its just if G-Sync is worth it at around the 45-60 fps this card would be getting.

Make sure you are researching X34a, not X34.

X34a is an updated model.

That seems to make no difference on the acer forums!
