Hello everybody,

My question is which card is worth waiting and buying and it will be enough for 1440P 144Hz 60fps gaming at max settings. GTX 1070 / GTX 1080 Ti or Volta? I know 1070 is the sweet spot for 1440p resolution but it seems that it's kinda not enough to max out the newest games at 60FPS. (Currently with a GTX 770 2GB paired with i7-4770 3.4GHz). And should I consider upgrading the CPU aswell to i7-7700k Kaby Lake when it comes out?

Thanks,
Angel S.

Currently, the 1080 would be the best card for 1440p / 144hz.

That said, if you get a gsync monitor, a 1070 would be plenty, unless you really must be around 144fps in everything.
why would you want to game with 60 fps on a 144 Hz screen????
the 1070 can max out all games to date at 1440p/60 FPS
with a 144hz screen you'd want 144fps though
so the GTX1080 would be the better choice

as of now there's no confirmation in a 1080Ti so it won't be out before easter IF it comes out

waiting for the new set of AMD cards could be reasonable though
