Is 200$ more worth it for 1080TI vs 1080 for 1440p, 144mhz

[gen66]

1080 asus strix 560$
1080TI Msi gaming x 760$

I will be paying 200$ for around 35% better performance

Worth it or not?

I suggest you wait to see what 1070 ti can offer after it is released, it may be better choice

Only if you are playing at 4K, other then that no, not really.

Only if you play at 4K, otherwise no. To clarify, 4K PC gaming is like 25-40FPS with a 1080. the 1080Ti brings that up to 60FPS.

Have you tried the New 3DMark Time Spy Extreme yet?

OMG.... The new CPU test is worse than running Prime 95.

Yep. Just barely over 6K with 2x 1080Tis. 2000 score the CPU. However 3dmark has never reflected real world performance. Only shows what is theoretically faster.

I would say if your monitor isn't Gsync then yes you need the 1080ti for 1440p 144hz. Here is a benchmark of the 2 that shows you may even need gsync for the 1080ti.

3464 here with a 1080 and I7 7700K @ 4.8.... (2704 CPU)

Oh thank you guys, Elbert, my monitor is asus pg279q with g sync, guess I will be sticking with 1080 for now

 

[iamacow]

Just remember Gsync doesn't work below 30FPS. It actually does, but because of the latency, it will hold the buffer longer resulting in worse performance. than just having it off (if you are gaming below 30fps).

Thank u iamacow, I thnk gtx 1080 hopefully will never go under 50fps on 1440p ultra settings on any current and near future titles
