ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ROG Strix oc or non oc

[Trickyshot129]

I was wondering should i get 1080 TI ROG Strix Gaming OC or non OC ?

I have a i7-7700k but is it really worth Overclocking ?

+ i've got a 600w PSU so i'm gonna buy a new PSU with the 1080 ti

I don't think it will matter much on the GPU. Get whichever is cheaper as either can be overclocked manually.

Are you asking if the i7-7700K is worth overclocking? I'd say no not really. It costs well over $100 on liquid cooler to get 4.9-5.0GHz cool enough under stress or a delid + liquid metal application. Not really worth it because I don't see any difference in gaming performance, but I'm just using a GTX 1070.

What resolution will you be gaming at? At 1080p a 1080 Ti is overkill.

That will be a great setup. What is the brand/model of your current power supply?

I'm not sure, i've got a NZXT Noctis 450 ROG case and the Psu is hidden

You should be able to remove the back side-panel of the case to see the sticker on the PSU.

Yeah I would get that 850W G2, even a 650W G2 would be worth it.
