Even with a 1080ti i tweak my settings. I never leave on max. Ultra settings is stupid. I need to take screen shots to see the difference. So its a case of turning down settings to see which give a performance boost without any change to visual quality. I never go below high though. Ultra is just there for enthusiasts. Days are gone where games looked meh at low settings and even medium and you needed a high end card for those glorious high settings which actually looked amazing. Now u can turn settings down to low-medium and it wont look much different from high.

980ti still good for 1440p?
- Thread starter jbh110tdi

I've been playing fine at 1440p essentially maxed out on a lot of games, can't think of anything where I've had to dial it back really, on my 980ti.
Unfortunately for me however the 980ti is on it's way back to OcUK for an RMA, I assume I'll end up with a 1070 as a replacement.

Installing a 980ti on Wednesday, can I get some ideas as to what sort of clocks I should expect or at least try to get? It's a Palit Super Jetstream so stock clocks are as follows (aka what is advertised):
- Core Base Clock: 1152MHz
- Core Boost Clock: 1241MHz
- Memory Clock: 7010MHz
I've used MSI Afterburner on my GTX 970 and my current profile is +140/+300 with max power limit. Am I looking at similar clockspeeds or does the 980ti differ a bit?

Most will do atleast 1400mhz without much trouble. I have a Gigabyte G1 gaming and can get to 1450 with no issues, but any higher and stability issues start to arise. I think I'd need a custom bios for 1500mhz, which isn't worth the effort really. 1450 is still very quick and beats 1070s in benchmarks.

Monitor your clock speed I expect it'll boost around 1300mhz clock it to 1400 off the bat and +400 memory 99% of Tis can achieve this from then on add 25mhz to the core upto typically 1450 and do the same on the memory should be able to do +500 and then you're golden the Ti will be a nice big jump over the 970

I have no issues, very few games struggle maxed (Deus Ex, Witcher 3). Sure you won't be hitting 144hz but it performs very well.

Does the 1450 core require a voltage boost, since I prefer to not have to increase voltage for temps. I found that the small increase in clocks (maybe about 40mhz more) with higher voltage just wasn't worth it with my 970 (negligible difference running Heaven). At least this is the best time for stability testing overclocks what with this heat. I could barely touch the wheel/gearstick on the way home from work, it was burning my hands!

980Ti OC can handle 4K in anything but twitch or competitive shooters

I know I didn't have to mess with the voltage curve and like above has said an overclocked TI can handle 4k reasonably well
