Can I Run The Newest Games at 1080p?

[Or Nah]

Will I be able to run the newest games out as of this post and gta 5 in a month with this system?

resolution will be played at 1920x1080

i5 4570 3.2Ghz (3.6 Turbo)

16GB of DDR3 1600 HyperX black

EVGA GTX 980 Superclocked ACX 2.0

 

[rockie_]

For sure , yes

if not bought GTX 980 , might get GTX 970 . GTX 980 is only 14% faster than GTX 970.

Yes. 16GB RAM is unnecessary though. The GTX980 is awesome but it's overpriced by a good bit.

 

[AMDThunder]

Yes. 16GB RAM is unnecessary though. The GTX980 is awesome but it's overpriced by a good bit.

Overpriced and also unnecessary. Especially at 1080p. 970 is absolutely all the OP needs.

 

[Or Nah]

Is it unnecessary? I've seen people on youtube do videos of their GTX 980 at 1080p and get frame drops in Crysis 3 , Watch Dogs , Unity , etc.

 

[GRUxTSAR]

OP get 8gb RAM and you'll have the exact same performance. You could also get an R9 290 and have a very good, as well as $300 cheaper gaming experience at max settings. 980s are a fair bit overkill unless you're at >1080p

I know a guy with two Titans + i7 and FPS drops to 7 , when playing Watch Dogs everything at Ultra , so get GTX 970 .

Watch Dogs and Unity are garbage games when it comes to optimization. You could have a $2500 rig and still have problems running it. Crysis 3 is also the most graphically advanced game on the market now. Those are literally the only 3 games you'd have any issues with (Maybe throw DayZ in there as well)

 

[CTurbo]

Everything will have frame drops from time to time. Everything. The 970 will easily max games. The 980 would be bored. haha

This. I'd recommend an R9 290 over a 970 though

See what I don't understand is I can get the single most powerful GPU in the market right now (980) and have issues with games, I mean.. how behind are fucking gpus compared to games

Dude is getting like 30-40 fps

also 30-40

wtf is this shit

If I opt for a 970 instead, the FPS will be even lower than that, no?

Thats a) overkill for most things and b) just watchdogs in general.

Oh god the more I search, the more I want to cry

30 fps T_T

Lower AA , and it s fine . No need of crying

e.g.

That's the thing though, buying a 550$ + single GPU you expect to play with no restrictions at 1080p. But if you have to lower some settings even on the newest GPU , the fuck is happening?

8xMSAA. That's a ridiculously unreasonable amount of AA. Most people use 4x MAX. There is no visual difference between 4x and 8x. AA is a frame rate killer. Couple that with the fact that Farcry 4 is an extremely graphics intensive game, and you'll get low fps. In a real life situation, you would not get fps this low (Unless you used 8xMSAA but honestly, nobody uses 8xMSAA)

So in reality I can't really " max " the game out.

 

[CTurbo]

Find a used GTX690. They tear through 1080p games with little resistance.

Until you use over 2gb VRAM (Which will happen more often now than ever)

I guess not. Might as well use PhysX as well and get 25fps on top of that 8xMSAA

Sorry, I'm just kinda depressed that I'm spending so much money on the so called single most powerful GPU out right now and it can't even max out every setting at 1080p and attain a steady 60 FPS.

Will GPUs ever catch up to games? like come the fuck on.

This happened back when I first got my 260, then my 760, and now too..

It's the games that have to optimized, not the GPUs. You can't develop a GPU to run on a game
