4K Gaming with 1080 ti Choppy

On another note, I have 16gb @ 1600mhz. Do you think I would benefit in games by upgrading to 32gb @ 2400 or 2666?

I only have a rampage IV motherboard.

Also Will my CPU limit me to what RAM I can put in?

I have 32Gb of ram but I only got that because at the time, the prices for ram was very cheap. Is it worth it over 16GB? Probably not, especially at current prices.

Take a look at this: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-7700K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-3930K/3647vs1487

Seems your 3930k is getting a bit long in the tooth when it comes to games. Maybe time for a system overhaul.
 
you know just as you were writing that I was thinking should I just go grab a new bundle!

I just think with my CPU running at 4250 and being only used 60% on average, is it really worth it?.

I am guessing having a new board with DDR4 would help aswell tho.
 
The think the problem is you're gaming at 4K. You probably need dual beast cards.
Drop down to 1440P

Reason why I'm having problem choosing a monitor, UW 1440P is too much for a 480 (and maybe even a 27" 1440p)
 
ye i think after a think - i am quite happy with my system now as is. If I can get to the bottom of my tearing issue I will be happy.

I dont wanna get the upgrade bug where you just keep adding and adding until u spent a bloody fortune!

Nothing wrong with a 3930k based system for games.

My 3930k can run 4 GTX 1080 Ti's if needed, something no Ryzen system can do.

True it can, but you wouldn't get the best out of those 4 cards. To be fair though, anymore than 2 cards in one system and you run into all sorts of problems including performance degradation.

Screen tearing occurs when the graphics card outputs frames at a different rate to your monitor. You will not solve your tearing issue, unless you use v-sync but then that sometimes results in noticeable input lag.

It used to be the case where you had to decide between tearing but fluid and responsive controls or no tearing but input lag.

gsync/freesync for the most part make this a non-issue now though!

HAz:

run a Fire Strike Test and a Time Spy test on 3D mark and compare to mine.

I got time spy to 8509 after overclocking grafx card to 1806 (didnt touch memory).

andybird123:

I have a dell up3216q that apparently is 60hz @ 4k.

Is there a setting to switch to 60hz?

Thanks

http://www.3dmark.com/spy/1363305 got that with some overclocking


then http://www.3dmark.com/spy/1364212 that just now on stock.


first time I ran it i got 7600 at stock but not got that high stock since??
 
What cable type and which port are you using?

Display port and hdmi look very similar and the monitor has both an hdmi 1.4 and hdmi 2.0 port - if you are using hdmi make sure youve got it in the 2.0 port

Using the 1.4 port by mistake will limit you to 30hz which would explain why vsync limits you to 30fps
 
Your monitor, cpu, gpu and game are capable of 60fps solid.

Make sure you are using displayport cable. 4k resolution is limited on hdmi 1.4 @ 30hz.

Screen tearing is a symptom of your gpu rendering more frames than your monitor can display e.g. 100 frames to a 60 frame per second monitor.

Enabling vsync will stop the tearing but will introduce input lag & stuttering.

Most people who play fps type games just disable vsync and put up with the tearing.

At 4k, your GPU will be the bottleneck, not the cpu. You will see the cpu bottleneck perhaps at 1080p, but rarely.

I don't have any problem running 4 cards.:)

I have used 4 way setups many times on my 3930k. Ryzen can not run 4 way SLI as it is limited to 24 PCI-E lanes, this is not a problem the 3930k has.

Another advantage the 3930k has is it can OC to 5.0ghz something Ryzen can not get near but again something that is useful driving 4 cards at lower resolutions.



To the OP make sure you are running PCI-E 3.0
