[SOLVED] Worth it to upgrade from a gtx 970 to a 1080TI?

[Austinomical]

I have an i5 4690K Haswell, Asus Maximus VII Hero Z97 MOBO, and 16GB of ddr3 ram. Is my other stuff good enough or do I need to upgrade that as well? Thanks!

Depends on the resolution you play at and the frame rate your desire.

Yes, it is worth to upgrade to the 1080 Ti from the 970. You can OC your CPU (get a good cooler if you don't already have one) and get good performance. Some games will benefit from the i7-4790K.

You didn't mention your monitor resolution. At 1080p, the 1080 Ti is a bit overkill.

I play at 1080p. Although, I have been wanting a new monitor so idk haha. I have a 144 hz monitor so I like my competitive fps games to get the fps usually (like bf v)

I went from a GTX970 to a GTX1080 when I got my 27" 144hz 2K monitor. It is great. A 1080ti would have just been a waste of money.

At 1440p and my 1080 Ti struggles to get 144fps in most major title. I have to lower settings just a bit. Definitely not a waste of money.

AC Odyssey actually drops below 60fps sometimes on ultra settings at 1440p. Battlefield V definitely isn't getting 144fps on ultra.

I have an 7700k and a 1080ti and at all ultra with TAA on low i get 115 FPS average in Battlefield 5 at 1440p

Sounds about right.
