ramthor's monster build

What post number?

EDIT:
Found it #163

Your suggestion is using 980Ti and my config has 2 Titan X's and you say indistinguishable performance. Need I say more?

I said buy a £349 card and wait for the GTX1080Ti and Vega chips. Both of which will be faster than the Titan XP.

I appreciate your opinion but as you probably know Vega isn't coming until the first half of 2017 and 1080Ti IF it comes it will be after that and only if Vega proves to be a threat to 1080 which is still unknown.

Quite a long time to wait for a "maybe" and at that time there will be something else at the horizon and hence other reasons to wait and so on and so forth you never get to buy anything just always waiting for the next best thing.
 
Well the GTX980Ti is plenty fast enough to run anything sub 4K. I'm sure it would hold out seeing the chip is still a match for GTX 1080 when overclocked.

I doubt Vega is that far off.

But still. For half the budget you can build a machine you couldn't tell the difference from.

For the planned resolution of 3440x1440, maxed details in current generation of games not even GTX980Ti in SLI will deliver an average FPS of 100 with min FPS above 60 which is my aim I have mentioned in the thread before.

Vega is right on 2017.

60FPS is as playable as 100FPS. You wouldn't tell the difference and the game wouldn't look any better.

You can't tell the difference between 50 and 60 FPS. The holy grail for gaming is 60FPS average and about 85Hz.

In most games 40 FPS is more than playable.

I can. And so the rest of the world. That's why better refresh monitors have been invented.

You are wrong. That is the minimum comfort level.

If I wanted playable I would've bought an Xbox.
 
OK, I've played FP shooters at competitive levels in the past and after 85Hz and 60 FPS I'm on top of my game. I've pushed hundreds of FPS/Hz but you just can't notice any stutter/delay/screen updates after those settings.

Whoever is telling you otherwise is wrong. Maybe 0.1% of the population could tell the difference between 85Hz and 100Hz but it wouldn't make any difference to the game and if you could notice it you would have a terrible time playing on any type of LCD screen.

I would tell you again about the minimum FPS getting way below 60 when your average FPS is 60 which is the very thing I want to avoid but I know it just won't get to you so I'll just leave it as it is.

Excellent input though. Keep telling me what I should do with my money. It really helps.
 
I don't see the point in asking for build advice if you all ready know everything.

Good luck with the build, but you could build something better with £8.5K IF you can notice drops under 100FPS/Hz.

To answer a question you must first understand the question. You clearly don't understand what I want and that's why I will not take your advice.

The proof I listen to advice is that I changed my build radically since the start of the thread. I've added water cooling, changed to SLI and better CPU, took down the Vive, etc...

If you comment here just to throw some words around without any meaning just because you can feel free to do so. I will ignore you but maybe the moderators won't.

Lol... there must be something a little off with your eyes.

I can tell the difference between 120Hz and 144Hz...

I get the impression a lot of people can tell the difference, otherwise these high refresh rate monitors wouldn't be so popular ;) It's certainly not a placebo...

Stop the non-sense!

60FPS average is enough therefore you don't need more than 60Hz refresh monitors. Why? Because jigger says so and I believe him because he also says 980Ti's performance is indistinguishable from SLI Titan XP.
 
;)

I'm looking forward to 200Hz 4k whenever that shows up :D

According to various tests the average humans eyesight operates in the 200-300Hz range, with fighter pilots being in the 300-400Hz range.

So It's only really when we get to 200Hz that we'll start noticing diminishing returns and the exact drop-off point will depend on the person :)
 
you can get 240hz monitors already ;)

60 hz to 120hz is a massive leap.144hz more again.

its easy to notice.

fps is almost troll arguement.

the difference can be seen/felt when playing.
