1080Ti for 4K

Sli/crossfire are a bad idea due to poor and declining game support.

a 1080ti is not now in my budget. some more ideas'?

If it's not in budget, then your gonna be stuck. A GTX1080 might push 60fps at 4k in some games.


Also, for a 4k gaming machine you are really gonna struggle.
You should get more ram, 500w PSU might struggle with the 1080/ti. Your system will be a bit imbalanced.

I5 7600k, if overclocked isn't a bad CPU by todays standards. And will drive the 1080/ti. But it's 4 core, and for most AAA (e.g BF1, COD WW2 etc) 4 cores get maxed out quickly and can cause stuttering.

If you just bought this PC, depending on the the costs, it's a 1080p 60hz gaming system, it's not a great buy IMO

If a 1080Ti isn’t in budget then either give up on 4K or wait for next generation cards. 4K isn’t cheap. My view is you are better to get a good 1440p setup than a compromised 4K setup.

4k isnt realistic for gaming unless your using the most high end hardware.

I would consider 1440p instead which still is a significant improvement over 1080p, but doesnt require the power that 4k does.

it must not be on ultra settings. i need middle or high settings 4k gameplay. the cpu is strong enough.

Even mid-high settings will bring most cards to their knees on demanding titles. GTX 1080 would be the minimum for usable 4k gaming in my opinion.

I would also suggest you upgrading to 16gb of system ram.

What kind of games are you hoping to play at 4k?

games like assassins creed odyssey, metro exodus, forza horizon 4, pugb, like this

Yeah for 4k I would really be looking at a GTX 1080 minimum.
