Pretty similar to the setup I'm currently running.
It runs anything I throw at it @1440p & ultra settings.

Are you upgrading from the spec in your sig?

That's good going to be running 1080p for a couple of months then buying a 4k Mon

Yeah... Time to upgrade, crossfire is not really fully supported with games being released,

That's nice, cooling temps about the same?

About the same yeah.

HAve you thought about swapping the gfx card first and then see how that improves things.

Lol, haven't thought of that.... I might try that

GPU first would be fine I would say. I paired my 1080ti with a [email protected] & it ran just as well as my 7700k does.
Yes there is an improvement with the newer hardware but I only swapped because I got a good deal . Cost me less than £200 to upgrade.


As a guide this is the comparison on the Timespy benchmark.
