880's wont be out till next year. I assume you meant 780.
This looks good and works better.

Why do you want/need an 880/780?

Why do you want/need an 880/780?

I want to play 1080p 60fps without breaking a sweat. As much as I like my PS4, it just doesn't play 1080p 60fps without breaking a sweat. And this is early in its lifecycle, imagine later on games will be sub HD at 30fps. Devs know it inside out so it's likely we won't see much of an improvement. I want 880 since I am getting my gaming PC next year or 2016.

I really meant 880. It is because I am getting my gaming PC next year or 2016. I am happy with my PS4 for now and will get an Xbox One next year alongside my gaming PC. I might get the Wii U once it's around 100 dollars or even cheaper. I certainly think the Wii U is more powerful than it looks.

you don't need an 880 to beat a ps4.

You don't need more than maybe $800-900 to crap all over a ps4.

780s/880s are WAY more than you need, 1080p at 60fps is NOT hard to achieve.

1080p at ultra with 12x AA is a bit more difficult, but pointless and only if you want to show off your e-peen.

I am planning to future proof my monitor by getting a 1440p one. I think 880 would be suitable for 1440p at 60fps. But I've heard 780 can do that as well. But I think I should always see how 880 perform in benchmarks before making a decision.

I was gaming on a 2560x1600 (1600p) monitor for 5 years with only crossfired radeon 4870s. Then I diagonoly graded to 2x 24" 1080p monitors on a radeon 7870 and had no trouble running 2560x1600 games on my 7870 before I went to dual monitors.

You don't need a 780/880 for 1440p.
