    Massive difference 1080-1440-4k?

    I understand the chart and what it actually is but how perceptible is it on a 27" screen? If 1440p is unanimously a big jump from 1080p, is 4k that much better than 1440p?

    Massive difference 1080-1440-4k?

    Topic. I ALMOST bought a 4k monitor until I realized that even with a 980 Ti (I would get another) it wouldn't be but a year until I couldn't max out games at playable (40fps+) rates. But I'm only at 1080p right now on a 980 Ti and I feel it doesn't do its justice. So I ask the question in the...

    Swiftech H240 + 980Ti SLI?

    I want the simplicity of a closed loop upgradeable system so would it be possible to water cool a CPU, and 2 980Ti cards with a swiftech h240? I would assume I'd need another radiator - which leads me to another question: if radiators are always supposed to be exhaust and I have two radiators...

    HD Audio motherboard port screwing up cable management (AsRock z97 extreme 4)

    I have an Asrock z97 extreme 4 in a Corsair air 540 case and the hd audio port is located just below the primary pci-e slot. It's literally the only thing in the case that's really screwing up cable management! It just looks messy. Is there any alternative, or do I just have to live with the...

    Am I utilizing my 144hz refresh rate?

    Ok that all makes sense so with that logic then, If I consider 45fps @ ultra 1080 p "butter smooth" with no g-sync, would I be just as happy with a 60hz monitor and g-sync? I ask because if that's the case I'm buying a 4k monitor and another 980 Ti like right now.

    Am I utilizing my 144hz refresh rate?

    So it would be the same as playing on a 60hz monitor basically? I ask because my current setup is 980 Ti with everything cranked all the way up and am thinking about getting another 980 Ti and 4k. Because the way my monitor plays now I am very pleased with in terms of fluidity and tearing so i...

    Am I utilizing my 144hz refresh rate?

    I have a non g-sync monitor that is a 1080p 144hz panel, however my fps in games is usually in the 40-60 range. Am I actually making use of the 144hz, or is it essentially the same thing as 60hz?
