The 1080 ti is amazing, so I'm sure the cpu is limiting you in some regard. I just doubt that jumping to a new cpu is going to take care of your concern completely. You'll maybe see another 10-20 fps but whether it's worth the expense of a whole new platform is your call. If I recall, Watch...

You would only need new ram if you get a new cpu due to the platform change. You have a Haswell cpu now which uses DDR3 ram, whereas the Skylake(6700k) and Kabylake (7700k) use DDR4. Honestly your performance seems fine. If it really bothers you then I'd get a Z97 motherboard so that you can...

Frankly I'd just get a 1080 ti and call it a day. Avoids the inconveniences of SLI and you still get 60+ fps on most games at 4k. Plus you can buy it new for less than $800 and you get a warranty. The difference between the 1080 ti and a Titan Xp is negligible performance wise but you save...

Not really sure what your question is. I run a 980 ti at 2560 x 1440 on a 144hz monitor at Ultra for almost all my games. I sacrifice fps because I place a high value on how a game looks, but my games don't drop below 60 fps. If you want to know what settings are going to get you 144 frames...

I would say for the price the 1060 is the best you can get, though others would argue the 480 from AMD is the better option. It's personal preference, really. Some people hate Nvidia and others hate AMD while some are indifferent. Realistically they bench against each other in games pretty...

He chose a mini GPU so that you may not need to buy a new case (due to concerns of size). He also said that the 1060 6GB version offers better performance than a 970 which is true, while also being around the same price point. For future reference, the new PSU you purchased is not necessarily...

Depends on what your expectations are. While a 1080 is a great card, it's not going to run the latest AAA titles completely maxed out at 4K (at 60 fps). If you're ok with either lowered settings or lower than ideal fps, then yes...you can game at 4K.

I agree with Rob that an SSD is definitely where you will notice the biggest quality of life change. The 500GB Samsung he recommended gives you plenty of room for your OS, Adobe programs, and a few games. With the reported slowdown using LR and PS, that's where the increase in RAM will be help...

I would look at upgrading your RAM to 16GB total and adding an SSD to drastically improve load times. Additionally, while the 770 is probably still ok, I would look at a 1060 or 1070 depending on how important graphical settings are to you and at what resolution. The 2GB is pretty skimpy by...

I actually have had the exact same issue. I have an EVGA 980 ti FTW and an Acer XB271HU monitor (1440p, 144hz). Just like you, the only remedies seem to be switching the resolution back and forth until it corrects, or restarting. The offset isn't always upon startup either. I have alt-tabbed...
