4K at 60 FPS possible? Would this rig an overkill?

[Tomimimi]

Hello,

I would rather build a pc which can handle 1440p at ultra setting at 60fps than 4k at ultra setting at 30~40 fps.

Is 4K at ultra setting at 60FPS possible?

If not, would the following rig capable of running 1440p at ultra setting at 60FPS, or are these an overkill?

- i7 5280k
- GTX980 Ti
- X99 series mobo
- 16GB RAM / 500GB SSDs and extra extra~

Your help will be so much appreciated!
Please help this noob pc builder and game enthusiast play some games... I always watch youtube clips.. TT. TT now I have budget, please advise me!!

Thanks!

Tom

Well...That is very high end...

Here is a suggestion for the PC components including windows, excluding the screens, peripherals etc.

You can go X99 or Z97 chipset, with the latter being cheaper and showing similar performance as a i7 5820 minus 2 cores...it's a toughy. What do they others think?

Personally I would also wait to see what AMD cards are like on release and see if Fury XT is maybe the better option.

Thanks!!!

But... I would need to SLI GTX980 Ti!!? That is hella money haha Thanks for the information, though!!

I also would like to wait and see what AMD's new product line can offer.

It is releasing tomorrow 24 June, right?

Would you mind if I private message you after the release to ask you what do you think about it? I want to decide on GPUs with reference to your opinion.: )

Thanks!!

The problem is 2x Gsync screens...Maybe two 980Ti is too much and you can go for 2x 970...

I am not sure 100% what the best course of action is in that case. I would personally go for one big 27 inch or 34 inch ultra widescreen and one GPU.

If you suggested SLI GTX980Ti as you thought I would play games with two screens, nope!

I am going to play games with one monitor screen, but the other is just for a convenience when I'm working on my research and web surfing. : )

So, would one GTX980Ti sufficient to run 1440p ultra setting at 60fps on one 27 inch monitor?

Hi Tomimimi - Yes > 60fps on 1440p @ ultra on a 980 Ti.

I suggest you wait 2 days to price up the AMD Fury X i have my 980 Ti on pre-order and if there's a better performance i think i might jump from team green to team red ! :-o
