Hello,
I find that when I play some games on high graphics settings my FPS average is about 60 or less even though I do all I can to maximize it. On certain games to lower the graphics settings puts me at a competitive disadvantage so i keep them high. I had read that the 1080 Ti is worth the upgrade when you have run 2560 x 1440p AND have a monitor running at the increased refresh rate of 144Hz, which I do play at.
Specifically i was looking at a ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1080 TI 11GB for $750, but would consider any good/ recommended 1080Ti if I was sure it would make a difference. Would rather not spend more that $850-$900. I don't 4K.
Is it worth upgrading to the Ti?
Your thoughts / recommendations appreciated.
