The monitor to end all monitors I think would be OLED 35" 3440x1440 DP 1.4 200hz Gsync, maybe in 5 years that will be available.
Apologies for the off-topic monitor speak, but
1) IPS over OLED, simply due to it lasting longer (don't want to have upgrade/buy monitors as often as one upgrades/buys GPUs), plus OLED isn't outright better in every respect
2) Get ready to pay Titan Z prices for your monitors folks! Considering how much G-sync monitors with all the bells and whistles cost these days. I'd much rather be able to afford a monitor lol
Considering those 2 things, it's not too far off having such a monitor. I believe current models are framerate limited due to I/O bandwidth, it's why we don't get 120Hz 4k screens much.
And of course the big killer is not having enough GPU grunt to power it. The GTX1080 is looking like a good shout for 1080p144 and 1440p60, but what about 1440p144? And that's not even ultrawide resolutions. I really wonder how much FPS a GTX1080 can put out on 1440p widescreen? If SLI is better this gen than perhaps it might be able to make good use of current 100Hz limits. But I'm doubtful a single card will be capable without lowering some settings.
rumor going around that Nvidia secured Tegra deal with Nintendo for their NX console ... i dont think Nintendo fanbase would take another console with no AAA crossplatform ports ...

Rumours are nought but rumours. First off, the source is WCCFTech of all places... Secondly, AMD (ATI before that) have been making console chips (GPUs and now APUs) for a long time. They'd have to really mess up for companies like Nintendo to go over to a competitor. Considering how Polaris is aimed at low to mid-range, I think that's a good bet as to what will be in upcoming systems, we know that Polaris has been confirmed for PSNEO.
And you underestimate both Nintendo fans and non-Nintendo fans. Nintendo fans will buy the thing regardless and non-Nintendo fans who game on multiple platforms will buy it only for exclusives anyway. Why would one buy a console version of a multi-plat when one can get it on PC? Especially with new GPUs coming out that furthers the gap between consoles and PC?
Off topic, but I felt I had to discuss these.
Was seriously considering getting a single 1080 to replace my two 780ti's, however having run all the Firestrike tests at my everyday OC which I've run them on for over a year, my cards are actually quicker vs a stock 1080 in the 1440p and 4K tests. Obviously with the 1080 overclocked its quicker but not by enough for me to sell up and spend £100-200 on top to get one, I'm now definitely waiting for the 1080 ti.
Finally someone has some sense on here XD. It boggles my mind that folks with 980ti's and Titan Xs are selling their top end GPUs to upgrade to what won't be the best GPU of the new generation. I bet those same folks will also jump on the hype train when the 1080ti is announced with even better performance and sell their 1080s to buy 1080ti's lol. Oh well, their loss. Unless they have amazing GPU selling skills to minimise losses. Folks can upgrade as often as they like, but too often and it's not as worth it. 980ti is barely a year old.
Of course there will always be better GPUs, but the more often one upgrades, the less benefits one gains. Strike a balance between often and not so often, stick to one tier and upgrade within that tier for best gains. IMO, the people with the best returns are those on the mid-range ladder, going from 770 > 970 > 1070. Quite the upgrade each time.
All that said, I'm planning a silly move of upgrading from mid to high 970 > 1080ti. The jump from Maxwell to Pascal will be huge, but Volta won't be as great to upgrade to from Pascal.
