Is it a waste to get any 4k monitor with a GTX 980? Obviously it isn't going to max out every game, but I figure with a few settings turned down and g-sync, it could be a pretty smooth experience. Am I wrong about that? Specifically the XB280HK, of course. I'm also considering the XB270HU (144Hz...

Hey all, the Acer XB280HK g-sync monitor lists its max refresh rate at 75Hz. Is that actually possible over any current connections? Displayport? I thought the max right now was 60Hz @ 4k, is that wrong? Thanks!

Alright, thanks all. Speedy and informative responses as always.

I'm just wondering if I buy a water cooler now, will the mounting hardware that works on LGA 1150 work on say an LGA 1151 socket when Skylake comes out? I don't really want to buy a water cooler to have to replace it in a year and a half just because of mounting hardware. Thanks!

I guess my question is if I can get a 980 for 350-400 vs a 980 Ti for something close to $700 is it worth getting the Ti? My monitor is 1440p 60Hz so I really don't need in the hundres for frame rates. I'm a pretty savvy overclocker so I'll have either card around 1500 MHz boost when all is said...

Would the dual 140mm radiator fit on the top of an arc midi r2? It supports dual 140mm fans but on the spec sheet it says support for dual 120 rad, says nothing about 140. Any input/experience? Edit: Asking mostly because the H220-X isn't in stock anywhere but the H240-X is.

I've got a really noob question. If I have a DVI to DP adapter on my monitor, and the DP is plugged into my video card, am I getting a DP or DVI signal? For example, is it still locked at 30Hz for 4K video as per DVI? Or is it capable of 60Hz 4K video like DP?

He has an overclocked 4690k im pretty sure. He doesn't want a 200 series card because of directx12. What happens if he gets the 390 and the psu isnt enough? Will it damage anything?

Hi all, I'm currently running an R9 390 on a 1000W PSU, and obviously that's fine. My brother has a gtx 760 and wants to get a 390, but he only has a 600W PSU, the EVGA 600B. It has 49 amps on the 12V, and I've heard the 390 uses 50 amps, but I'm not sure. Will it run on that PSU? Does it...
