*UPDATE* - More Game Performance Videos are coming on the GTX 1080 TI. Some are already included in my first video "Which Should You Buy?", linked below, more are scheduled this week. The first video coming soon is going to be Ghost Recon Wildlands, tested on Ryzen 7 1700X with 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p results at multiple detail settings, to show you what is possible with the GTX 1080 TI. Future videos will show the 1080 TI compared to the GTX 1080 & GTX 1070, to show what you really get for the extra money. Vega will also be covered when it launches later this summer. As noted in the video, I've also tested 780 TI vs 980 TI vs 1080 TI, but have not published those videos yet, they also will be coming soon, I simply need to edit and voice them over, but the benchmarks are done.
I don't know why man, but i freaking love your reviews. Most reviewers are like super casual and fun which is great in its own way; yours is like when you need to make an informed decision and you need an adult to guide you so that you don't F-up in the long run. Thanks for being here man!
Everything I play is well over 60 FPS. Overwatch, Divinity OS, Diablo 3, etc. Skyrim SE with eveything max is causing me to be around 40 FPS through. I rarely buy the newest games. Why spend $100+ on a game and all DLCs when you can wait a few years and get everything for under $20. Whether I play a game today or 3 years from now, the enjoyment is the same. Right now I am waiting for Steam's Fallout 3 sale, going to play that next, probably buy Fallout 4 when I buy GTX 1270 or AMD equivalent.
Wanna hear a funny thing? The people who have money for this gpu, don't have enough time to make the most out of it. Myself included... Even though my 1080 ti evga ftw3 goes well with 1440p 144hz, I'd like to have more time for it haha
XavieR G Lee's I'm gaming at standard 1440p at 165hz too but with a 1070 of to 2101mhz . I'm looking forward to upgrade to a 1080ti because I feel my current card struggles a lot. your input is very important to me
I had a 1070 before my 1080ti so I know just how much newer titles need the extra performance. Although 2100 on 1070 is a pretty golden oc chip. Gsync though makes a world of difference as long as you never drop below 60fps. Just look at the benchmarks of the games you are playing at 1440p and make sure your average is around 100-120 for smooth visuals. If you play slightly older games or don't mind maxing everything the 1070 can still get the job done so choose wisely before upgrade. There is always the resale value of your 1070 so you can easily make the jump to 1080 or 1080ti.
XavieR G Lee's G-sync here too. And about the OC you got it right. Ppl don't believe it sometimes. I have to send them pictures and videos LOL. At 68c and below is a steady 2101mhz. if temp rises it starts dropping to 2088-2075mhz Fan curve is pretty aggressive and I keep the room at 21c. Once I tested at the worst conditions...32c ambient temperature for and hour of gaming. It hit 76c max and steady 2075mhz. I won't do that again cause my CPU went 82c max. Never before passed 75C. Oh well 1080ti will be. thanks for your answer. really appreciate it.
No worries man. Last piece of advise for you is if you can, wait for the AMD Vega Launch before purchasing the 1080ti. Not that you will get that if you have already invested in Gsync monitor, but prices tend to drop on major releases so you could save some money. The stronger the Vega card is on release the bigger the price drops of current models. The 1070 I think will get you easily another couple months.
Lol,I'm using my 980 from 2 years ago on my pg279q, so you know how I feel lol. Playing tomb raider on high with g-sync works about 90% of the time but I really want to enjoy those maxed out settings. No real complaints here though, or at least not enough to spend $700. Maybe a 1080 will suffice as long as I can use this monitor to it's full or close to full capabilities.
Ah for the days of $700 high end gc's. Prices started to climb right around the time of this video. Shouda/couda grabbed one back then (2/4/2018 - prices @ over $1200 ).
I've got the 1080ti and im using a 1440p monitor, the reason why i went with the 1080ti is because im planning to upgrade to 4K real soon and yes i do agree that this card is an overkill for gaming at 2K especially since i have a 16:9 monitor, can't wait to test it in 4K tho!
Jack johnson I beg to differ. I already have a 1070 OC to a steady 2.1k and it struggles on AAA games at Ultra hitting 80-120fps in a 165hz monitor. If your point of reference is 60hz maybe then your answer have some sense.
I have the 1080 overclocked and its great for running all current games on the highest settings at 60fps since the majority of 4k monitors/tv's have 60fps.
Recent sub here. Thank you for helping me select the GPU that is correct for me. I decided to get MSI Geforce GTX 1070. Gives me good performance and some future proof and i got it at a bargain at 350 dollars. Which is low in my country because we have high taxation on these kinds of things
While I agree to most of what you said, I do not think this card will be anything like how the 780Ti became after 3 years, I believe this would last a little longer than that. Considering Volta might not be coming out until late 2018 or even mid 2019, this can last quite a while before having to upgrade even in 1440p. I don't think any entry level Volta or the gen after that to be able to match this performance level at 1440p.
I am very excited for the future videos you mention, and your future independent reviews. Could you create a price vs performance chart for some future content?
One suggestion. I can follow everything you say cause I'm an idiot and watch these videos all the time, build machines, and know the industry, resolutions, performance, and pricing. I just like watching videos, especially yours, looking for things I may not have considered or don't know. However, for those that may not understand most everything, they could easily get lost. A simple chart with resolutions (and/or monitor descriptions) down the left and possibly refresh rates or some other category like program detail at the top or both could help with your voice over and discussion. The cells could show the recommend and then higher level cards; e.g. 1070 (1080). You could flash this to the screen as you talk about certain things periodically and people can pause or at least see a highlighted cell or area on the chart that pertains to the current discussion point. It could provide a nice reference, and it would also add a little diversity to the sit and talk videos. Not sure how much this would add to the editing process. I like your current format for me as it is since it's fairly direct number/fact intensive, but some could get lost in those numbers. Thanks as always and I look forward to the video on the Ti overview!
Great review! Most reviewers just talk about benchmarks. Yes I know that the 1080ti is the best but I want to know if it is worth the premiun. You are the only guy answering this question! BTW I bought a 1060 6gb for 1080p 60hz gaming after watching your 1060 video and I couldn't be happier. But now I bought a 4k tv so I started to have the itch for upgrading again... oh well!
holy shit. i watched at least 50 different videos about building PCs and what GPU to buy. I had only found you first I wouldve got everything i needed before I make my choice. Thank you. BTW, You could probably be a major cable network news reporter, seriously, lol.
Here we are , midway through 2019, and the 1080 ti is still second best gpu ,( alongside 2080), behind the 2080ti . It's still the same price as it doesn't have to compete with 40% more expensive 2080ti .It is the better buy because it doesn't have the failure issues of the 20 series cards . Historically the previous equivalent cards ( up to the 980ti) would have been down at the bottom end by now but this card is still at the top, it looks like the 1080ti was the sweet spot and will last longer at the high end than any previous iteration .
As someone who owns 144hz 1080p UW I can second the notion that a 1070 is totally fine. I can set most things at very high/ultra and with some tweaking (Dropping shadow quality down, keeping AA as low as FXAA, etc) I can easily get up to ~80fps on most games (Which is where I honestly stop being able to notice the extra frames). I wouldn't mind upgrading to a 1080 for the reasons mentioned in this video (Bumping graphics up an extra few notches) but I'll most likely be picking up a Vega when it's released to make use of the Freesync on my monitor and for aforementioned bumping. I _could_ go up to a 1080ti but that's a huge step up just so I can turn on a bunch of settings I likely wouldn't fully appreciate anyway (Although, having SSAA on would be fantastic).
Nice video as always. Even though I considered myself pretty knowledgable about PC building, I learned a good bit from some of your videos. I noticed that you don't have any videos on wireless/ethernet routers/switches. Would be cool to get some "deal" advice in that area.
I use the EVGA SC2 hybrid 1080ti for 3440x1440( acer predator x34 ) and I think that's the best paring I can turn up pretty much everything and have great frame rates. I still feel that a single GPU can't handle 4K high settings on everything yet and never drop below 60fps. So glad I saved up and upgraded I was using a GTX 645 for close to 5 years on a 1080p tv
I want to get a 1080TI and I only have a 1080p monitor. I want to play games at 120+hz plus 3d vision 2. Also, even if I can't display 4k natively, I can still supersample using DSR for better picture quality.
I have the 980ti that I use for 1440p 144 g-sync monitor and play Battlefield 4 and 1, overwatch, played total war games, metal gear, black desert, dying light, and a lot of games that I hit 100 fps or more it one hell of a card and it is from Zotac that I did not OC because it was beefy enough as it came. Been really hard to decide to upgrade or not since card doesn't seem to have any issues. It is paired with the 5820k who also seem to be showing no issues and my rig get job done for any task it needs to tackle. I feel what you said is right that at around 3 years is when most gpu start to slow down. In a sense you get the value from your card the longer you use it. But when you have money and it's not an issue then yea why not upgrade lol. I really love your channel good sir I don't know why but how you think is similar to me and for most topics how you come across them. I do hope your channel grows I remember when you first started and you really come alone way I think it how you present yourself that draws people and makes people feel really informed. Continue to do a well job and I definitely will continue to watch your videos really great information. Now to subscribe to a great channel!
Can you do an in depth monitor video for gaming. What refresh rates are worth it and should you buy multiple vs ultra wide. Pro and cons on resolution and it's financial practicality etc.
maybe you could make a graph or list showing main resolutions with their pixel count and where the GPUs stack up on the chart also please consider testing ryzen 1600 or 1700 with stellaris or cities:skylanes. these CPU intensive games dont have much info or benchmarks available
If you have the money get this card! I recently got a MSI gamer x version and even using an old ass overclocked i5 2500k I STILL noticed performance gains over the GTX 1080 I upgraded from. playing at 3440x1440 res btw. Highly recommend the MSI gamer x as it is cool and quiet as well.
I upgrade my cards every 4 years, always I get the top card in the market at the time, now I am upgrading from my 780ti to 1080ti because I am moving to 2K and 4K, but I still play HD (ultra) and 2K (medium) graphics with 30-50FPS, which is good. And the 1080ti is in the range $900-$1K.
Good Video. Nice you took up 21:9 1440p cos thats me. I'm playing Wildlands on this Ultrawide Freesync 791 monitor from samsung. OC'ed my RX 480 fråm 1338 to to 1405Mhz with (2000) 2100Mem clock. Average fps in benchmark is 62. Its still a 100 hz monitor so I really hope Vega can push up this freesync monitor in wildlands to 100 fps in better settings. Still to be seen though...
looking forward to that ti video. i have a 780 and it sucks right now, im looking for a good deal on used. and feel its too late to buy 1070. waiting for volta. maybe vega.
I basically only play simulators, but I still like higher res so i bought a GTX 1060 6GB card. That'll play all 1080p games at high settings. I also have a PC with a 1050 and even that plays 1080p games at close to high settings.
I have a GTX 1080 for 1080p but I like to play at 120+ fps, also when I upgrade my monitor to a 1440p 144/165 Hz I will need a faster card. I always upgrade my card every 2 or 2 and a half years.
I'm waiting for the Volta incarnation of the Titan. I know it will eventually become a Ti but I just want to own one from day one. I currently own a Titan (700 series) and a Titan X Maxwell. Both used. Got the first for $49 and the Maxwell for $310. But are AIO cooled and work just fine for 1080p and 1440p as I have them set up in different systems. If the Volta generation can do 4k at Ultra 100ish fps in 90% of the games I see it as an investment worth making. Yes its $1200 but in the end you can always sell it and get at least 3-400 back. So all in all it will be costing you as much as a Ti of current gen. And yes you will loose out in 100-200 if you bought the Ti version and sold that for 3-400. But of a period of 2 years you will most likely have spent $100-200 on single use garbage anyway.
I need a used cpu to pair with a GTX 960,and 1155 socket mb, i5 2500k or i5 3450, or something better,?? Anyone help?help me select.. OR,will i5 2400 be enough for gtx 960??
O ONNIT well even a 10 years old cpu pair with a current budget gpu will hit most game on 60fps.upgrade your gpu gtx 1060 faster 75% than gtx 960.i recommend you get a gtx 1060.
Battle Of The Bottlenecks - i5 2500 VS GTX 1060 6GB Ultra 1080p a video in youtube, see a bottleneck in some games so the i5 3450 (i have this and is so good, using a 750ti) will be better, but if you can afford more maybe the new gen (for the speed ram) will the best option
O ONNIT just buy pentium g4560 or amd fx 6300 u can overclock amd fx 3.5ghz to 4.7ghz i have amd fx 6300 and runs smoothly in any games (i have r7 370) its made to outperform gtx 970 and amd fx 6300 costs only 80-100€
. . .or if you don't want to dish out 2500 USD on a professional video card, and want to get a gaming card which can perform as well despite not having software specific drivers. Sometimes just raw transistor power can overcome.
Good review but I never saw someone playing triple a titles at 165fps or more. All cards struggle to get over 100 fps at any Resolution if you want the best quality. Sometimes 1080p is more demanding than 4k if you want a real 4k experience on a 1080p screen. 16×msaa with advanced lod and some colour and sharpness mods... (Never play at maxed settings because it's more demanding than a higher resolution at high details.)
Just ordered a strix gtx 1080 for $520 (very cheap in Sweden) and I'm very happy with my purchase. Might not be able to play all a games at 4K ultra but if I play 4K and put some setting to high instead I will achieve 60fps. And of course 1440p ultra on every game is very achievable so imo the 1080 ti is not worth it, at least for me.
for a new channel on YT you are ONE OF THE BEST best wishes and keep up the great work Thank you for all these sincere vids and best wishes to all of you working on the content spoiler: 1080ti is as fast as 2x 980ti-s and the 780ti is even slower then 1060 3gb or around there somewhere :)
techdeals what do you think how many years my pc is stable? its running r7 370 2gb oc strix (1600mhz,1100mhz) and amd fx 6300 4.3ghz and 8gb ddr3 ram 2000mhz. And what do you think what i should upgrade later,,and what do you recommend for me?
I have been waiting for vega for very long, and getting a little impatient right now, do you think I should get an nvidia or keep waiting for vega. I already have a 144hz freesync monitor.
Hi, I own a 3440x1400 100 hz Gsync monitor and am running a 1080 SLI set up. Gsync doesn't work too well with a SLI set up and I am thinking of getting rid of my SLI setup and just going for a single 1080TI. Will a single 1080TI be able to power games like The Witcher 3 at max setting with consistently high 90-100 FPS? At the moment, with Gsync on, my 1080 SLI is only able to push out high 70-low 80 FPS, but the card is only running at 60-70% load. Would a single 1080TI be able to beat this?
I know this question isnt about GPU's but i was wondering what processor would be worth buying to replace my current I5-4670k? I got a Asus Maximus VI hero Mboard and a Rog Strix OC GPU.
I was gonna have one for Twitch Streaming yet I don’t have a 4k computer. if I got one, would I be able to run it at 4K and have it show as 4K for viewers, or will it not let me.
AMD 6870 1GB - $175 after tax and rebate (April 2012) (First PC Build) AMD R9 380 4GB - $210 after promotion and tax (August 2015) (6870 died) GTX 980 Ti or Better Equivalent for $150-250 - Future Upgrade If I had bought a 7970 in early 2012 it would've been $550+ rather than being out less than $400 for 2 cards spread out. Thanks to being a new architecture, driver support and more VRAM the R9 380 > 7970; probably the Ghz Edition that came later in 2012 as well. Going from the 6870 to the 380 was a 2-2.25x performance upgrade.The top of the line card of 2015 was the 980 Ti for $650+; about *1/2 of that performance could be found in the R9 380 for 1/3 the price*. If you pick the right CPU you're better equipped to handle that massive an upgrade without getting bottlenecked 3-5 years down the road so there's less incentive to upgrade to a new platform.
I want this card because I like to play games over 60 1080p don’t have all that 1440p or 4K resolutions they don’t change much at all and over kill is what I love to do 😍😂
a 1080ti is not overkill on a single 1080P monitor in x-plane, prepar3d, planet coaster,these are all considered games,i still can't max x-plane 11 on a single 1080p monitor, i use 9gb of the 11 gb on the 1080ti, so there are specific cases it's needed. you never cover any games except first person shooters so people don't know on this channel.i enjoy your video's and still learn alot, but you test the same games over and over. some fresh content would be appreciated as far as games go.thanks for another video, i know how time consuming it is to create these.

we are in june Tech-Deals not in may XD
Quite right! :)
Tech Deals please tell us how much performance does 1080ti run on 3 1080p monitors surround compared to one 4K monitor. Thank you
Tech Deals will a 1070 do 144 fps at 1080p?
most of them would buy gtx 1050,1050ti and 1060 or Rx 500 series cards and 1080 ti is for enthusiastic people and hardcore players
I don't know why man, but i freaking love your reviews. Most reviewers are like super casual and fun which is great in its own way; yours is like when you need to make an informed decision and you need an adult to guide you so that you don't F-up in the long run. Thanks for being here man!
Adote Azhar amen
Adote Azhar the review format couldn't get any better, agreed!
You had my like at: '' Hello and Welcome to Tech Deals...''
The 'thumbs up' on my viewing before he even says one word, I know I'm in for a great video without him saying a word, lol.
Hit like if you happy with your GPU but watching because u love deal guy!
i read it "because you love old guy" lol
ashish kr. happy with my GPU because it's a 1080 ti :D
I'm quite happy with my 1080ti
Sticking with my GTX 670 FTW for another three years. Got a 1080 monitor and GPU works just fine in 2017.
Everything I play is well over 60 FPS. Overwatch, Divinity OS, Diablo 3, etc. Skyrim SE with eveything max is causing me to be around 40 FPS through. I rarely buy the newest games.

I'm not planning to buy this card but I just like these types of videos from tech deals
You're really good! And it's awesome that you are in the comment section, writing to people who have questions. Thank you for that!
i cant even afford a ryzen 5 1600 lol why am i watching this😂😂
Dream man. I did for 5 years and now I finally have my dream pc
leonthesleepy because it's techdeals.
The 1600 is my baby
I can't even afford a G4560...
leonthesleepy i
I just really waited for this review from tech deals. Thank you sir
Wanna hear a funny thing? The people who have money for this gpu, don't have enough time to make the most out of it. Myself included... Even though my 1080 ti evga ftw3 goes well with 1440p 144hz, I'd like to have more time for it haha
gtx 1080ti gaming x on 3340 /1140 , and still plenty of time :)
what's 3340/1140? i don't get that
comedyman112 just quit your job. problem solved. lol
comedyman112 Dont you feel dumb...
funny how you think 10 bit 4k tvs will be decently priced in the near future...
Great vid as always. Normal 1440p here and 165hz and this card almost doesn't cut it.
XavieR G Lee's I'm gaming at standard 1440p at 165hz too but with a 1070 of to 2101mhz . I'm looking forward to upgrade to a 1080ti because I feel my current card struggles a lot. your input is very important to me

XavieR G Lee's G-sync here too. And about the OC you got it right. Ppl don't believe it sometimes. I have to send them pictures and videos LOL. At 68c and below is a steady 2101mhz. if temp rises it starts dropping to 2088-2075mhz Fan curve is pretty aggressive and I keep the room at 21c.

Just got the 1080ti asus rog strix for $1k my dual 2716dg. So pumped
Wtf.
You got robbed
I've got the 1080ti and im using a 1440p monitor, the reason why i went with the 1080ti is because im planning to upgrade to 4K real soon and yes i do agree that this card is an overkill for gaming at 2K especially since i have a 16:9 monitor, can't wait to test it in 4K tho!
Jack johnson ho Kack. When you say Overkill what do you mean? I want to upgrade to 1080ti for a standard 1440p @165hz.
2boostedsilverado as in its too powerful for 1440p monitors, if you wanna play at 1440p then get a 1070
Jack johnson I beg to differ. I already have a 1070 OC to a steady 2.1k and it struggles on AAA games at Ultra hitting 80-120fps in a 165hz monitor. If your point of reference is 60hz maybe then your answer have some sense.
Can you help? what do i need to play at standard 1440p 144hz rate what GTX do i need? 1080 or 1080TI?
I have the 1080 overclocked and its great for running all current games on the highest settings at 60fps since the majority of 4k monitors/tv's have 60fps.
I've totally been waiting for this, thanks!
Recent sub here. Thank you for helping me select the GPU that is correct for me. I decided to get MSI Geforce GTX 1070. Gives me good performance and some future proof and i got it at a bargain at 350 dollars. Which is low in my country because we have high taxation on these kinds of things
Im not planning on buying anything to upgrade, and am happy with my 1070. Just came here to watch because ur videos are amazing :)!
While I agree to most of what you said, I do not think this card will be anything like how the 780Ti became after 3 years, I believe this would last a little longer than that. Considering Volta might not be coming out until late 2018 or even mid 2019, this can last quite a while before having to upgrade even in 1440p. I don't think any entry level Volta or the gen after that to be able to match this performance level at 1440p.
I love this guy, he's way of explaining, is veey easy to understand, and plus, he's not all over the place like the other canadian guy, lol.
I got a 1080 Ti and just picked up a HP Omen X 35" Ultrawide. Life is good!
I love how you explain everything so clearly.
I am very excited for the future videos you mention, and your future independent reviews.
Could you create a price vs performance chart for some future content?
Another simple-to-understand and relaxing video of you, thanks!
One suggestion. I can follow everything you say cause I'm an idiot and watch these videos all the time, build machines, and know the industry, resolutions, performance, and pricing. I just like watching videos, especially yours, looking for things I may not have considered or don't know. However, for those that may not understand most everything, they could easily get lost. A simple chart with resolutions (and/or monitor descriptions) down the left and possibly refresh rates or some other category like program detail at the top or both could help with your voice over and discussion. The cells could show the recommend and then higher level cards; e.g. 1070 (1080). You could flash this to the screen as you talk about certain things periodically and people can pause or at least see a highlighted cell or area on the chart that pertains to the current discussion point. It could provide a nice reference, and it would also add a little diversity to the sit and talk videos. Not sure how much this would add to the editing process. I like your current format for me as it is since it's fairly direct number/fact intensive, but some could get lost in those numbers. Thanks as always and I look forward to the video on the Ti overview!
3 years down the line, this card still kicks ass.
Great review! Most reviewers just talk about benchmarks. Yes I know that the 1080ti is the best but I want to know if it is worth the premiun. You are the only guy answering this question!
BTW I bought a 1060 6gb for 1080p 60hz gaming after watching your 1060 video and I couldn't be happier. But now I bought a 4k tv so I started to have the itch for upgrading again... oh well!
vaghatz id wait for what VEGA offers or the next GTX series cards lol.
Gaming on a tv may also not the best thing to do. (Depends on the game tho).
Yes I miss playing from my desk, it's clanky playing from your couch. But unfortunatelly 4k HDR pc monitors are extremly rare and expensive
holy shit. i watched at least 50 different videos about building PCs and what GPU to buy. I had only found you first I wouldve got everything i needed before I make my choice. Thank you. BTW, You could probably be a major cable network news reporter, seriously, lol.
So informative and comprehensive review as always sir, kind regards😁
Now this upcoming series is going to be awesome! just in time for me to upgrade
Lol when these were still under $700...good ole days
yeah I shoulda got my computer on christmas instead of my birthday
Here we are , midway through 2019, and the 1080 ti is still second best gpu ,( alongside 2080), behind the 2080ti . It's still the same price as it doesn't have to compete with 40% more expensive 2080ti .It is the better buy because it doesn't have the failure issues of the 20 series cards . Historically the previous equivalent cards ( up to the 980ti) would have been down at the bottom end by now but this card is still at the top, it looks like the 1080ti was the sweet spot and will last longer at the high end than any previous iteration .
This guy helped me make so many decisions when it game to my first build. Love this guy LOL
As someone who owns 144hz 1080p UW I can second the notion that a 1070 is totally fine. I can set most things at very high/ultra and with some tweaking (Dropping shadow quality down, keeping AA as low as FXAA, etc) I can easily get up to ~80fps on most games (Which is where I honestly stop being able to notice the extra frames).
I wouldn't mind upgrading to a 1080 for the reasons mentioned in this video (Bumping graphics up an extra few notches) but I'll most likely be picking up a Vega when it's released to make use of the Freesync on my monitor and for aforementioned bumping.
I _could_ go up to a 1080ti but that's a huge step up just so I can turn on a bunch of settings I likely wouldn't fully appreciate anyway (Although, having SSAA on would be fantastic).
Nice video as always. Even though I considered myself pretty knowledgable about PC building, I learned a good bit from some of your videos. I noticed that you don't have any videos on wireless/ethernet routers/switches. Would be cool to get some "deal" advice in that area.
I use the EVGA SC2 hybrid 1080ti for 3440x1440( acer predator x34 ) and I think that's the best paring I can turn up pretty much everything and have great frame rates. I still feel that a single GPU can't handle 4K high settings on everything yet and never drop below 60fps. So glad I saved up and upgraded I was using a GTX 645 for close to 5 years on a 1080p tv
I want to get a 1080TI and I only have a 1080p monitor. I want to play games at 120+hz plus 3d vision 2. Also, even if I can't display 4k natively, I can still supersample using DSR for better picture quality.
I have the 980ti that I use for 1440p 144 g-sync monitor and play Battlefield 4 and 1, overwatch, played total war games, metal gear, black desert, dying light, and a lot of games that I hit 100 fps or more it one hell of a card and it is from Zotac that I did not OC because it was beefy enough as it came. Been really hard to decide to upgrade or not since card doesn't seem to have any issues. It is paired with the 5820k who also seem to be showing no issues and my rig get job done for any task it needs to tackle. I feel what you said is right that at around 3 years is when most gpu start to slow down. In a sense you get the value from your card the longer you use it. But when you have money and it's not an issue then yea why not upgrade lol. I really love your channel good sir I don't know why but how you think is similar to me and for most topics how you come across them. I do hope your channel grows I remember when you first started and you really come alone way I think it how you present yourself that draws people and makes people feel really informed. Continue to do a well job and I definitely will continue to watch your videos really great information. Now to subscribe to a great channel!
cool vid as always!
Thank you Teach Deals! for giving a heart on my comment
You are very welcome :)
Can you do an in depth monitor video for gaming. What refresh rates are worth it and should you buy multiple vs ultra wide. Pro and cons on resolution and it's financial practicality etc.
You are by far the best reviewer out there. Thank you for caring for those victims to the "hype".
maybe you could make a graph or list showing main resolutions with their pixel count and where the GPUs stack up on the chart
also please consider testing ryzen 1600 or 1700 with stellaris or cities:skylanes. these CPU intensive games dont have much info or benchmarks available
Thanks for your video. Did you say something about waiting for Vega or I may have missed this part. :)
This kind of videos are the reason I suscribed this channel
TechDeals should have his own movie where he is the King of all computer hardware manufacturers.
Finally the review i was waiting for, no idea why i am watching when im happy enouth with my gtx 1080
I just bought GTX 1080 for my 1440p 144hz 16:9 monitor. If it lasts one year with modern titles I'd be happy. I mostly play Overwatch after all.
If you have the money get this card! I recently got a MSI gamer x version and even using an old ass overclocked i5 2500k I STILL noticed performance gains over the GTX 1080 I upgraded from. playing at 3440x1440 res btw. Highly recommend the MSI gamer x as it is cool and quiet as well.
Kurtis Rinker nice man! Although id keep the 1080ti for a few generations now and focus on updating that cpu just for stability sake
Level that's my plan. as soon as amds threadripper motherboards and cpus come out I'm upgrading.
Kurtis Rinker awesome bro! Hopefully threadripper lives up to the hype. Its better than the new intel extreme chips at least😂
I upgrade my cards every 4 years, always I get the top card in the market at the time, now I am upgrading from my 780ti to 1080ti because I am moving to 2K and 4K, but I still play HD (ultra) and 2K (medium) graphics with 30-50FPS, which is good. And the 1080ti is in the range $900-$1K.
love your videos well done!
Prices are high right now from great demand. 1070's are going for over $400, ~$420-$460.
I got the 1080ti recently because the asus rog strix was on sale and its only $300 more than our 1070s here in Aus. So I thought, why not.
I think you should do a comparison on B350 boards because Ryzen is getting popular and bugs are being fixed
Thx, Great Video. Did you read your text at all ?
great video. always informant!
excellent review! keep going!
Good Video. Nice you took up 21:9 1440p cos thats me. I'm playing Wildlands on this Ultrawide Freesync 791 monitor from samsung. OC'ed my RX 480 fråm 1338 to to 1405Mhz with (2000) 2100Mem clock. Average fps in benchmark is 62. Its still a 100 hz monitor so I really hope Vega can push up this freesync monitor in wildlands to 100 fps in better settings. Still to be seen though...
I FREAKING LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
As always, an interesting video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Dear Mr. Tech Deals: did you try this on your Philips 43 inches 4K? How's the monitor? Thanks!
looking forward to that ti video. i have a 780 and it sucks right now, im looking for a good deal on used. and feel its too late to buy 1070. waiting for volta. maybe vega.
I basically only play simulators, but I still like higher res so i bought a GTX 1060 6GB card. That'll play all 1080p games at high settings. I also have a PC with a 1050 and even that plays 1080p games at close to high settings.
I have a GTX 1080 for 1080p but I like to play at 120+ fps, also when I upgrade my monitor to a 1440p 144/165 Hz I will need a faster card. I always upgrade my card every 2 or 2 and a half years.
I'm waiting for the Volta incarnation of the Titan. I know it will eventually become a Ti but I just want to own one from day one. I currently own a Titan (700 series) and a Titan X Maxwell. Both used. Got the first for $49 and the Maxwell for $310. But are AIO cooled and work just fine for 1080p and 1440p as I have them set up in different systems. If the Volta generation can do 4k at Ultra 100ish fps in 90% of the games I see it as an investment worth making. Yes its $1200 but in the end you can always sell it and get at least 3-400 back. So all in all it will be costing you as much as a Ti of current gen. And yes you will loose out in 100-200 if you bought the Ti version and sold that for 3-400. But of a period of 2 years you will most likely have spent $100-200 on single use garbage anyway.
Should I think about a 1080ti or would a 1080 be ok for vr gaming like x plane 11, assetto corsa or similar SIM gaming?
will u do a ryzen 5 1400 or 1500x or 1600 and benchmarks (reviews) ?
I need a used cpu to pair with a GTX 960,and 1155 socket mb, i5 2500k or i5 3450, or something better,?? Anyone help?help me select.. OR,will i5 2400 be enough for gtx 960??
O ONNIT 2500k or 3570k
O ONNIT well even a 10 years old cpu pair with a current budget gpu will hit most game on 60fps.upgrade your gpu gtx 1060 faster 75% than gtx 960.i recommend you get a gtx 1060.
Battle Of The Bottlenecks - i5 2500 VS GTX 1060 6GB Ultra 1080p a video in youtube, see a bottleneck in some games so the i5 3450 (i have this and is so good, using a 750ti) will be better, but if you can afford more maybe the new gen (for the speed ram) will the best option
O ONNIT just buy pentium g4560 or amd fx 6300 u can overclock amd fx 3.5ghz to 4.7ghz i have amd fx 6300 and runs smoothly in any games (i have r7 370) its made to outperform gtx 970 and amd fx 6300 costs only 80-100€
O ONNIT but its am3+ socket and pentium is lg1151
Had an Asus 7970 ROG Matrix, now got an EVGA GTX1080Ti FTW3. Woot!!
That is a monster upgrade!
zotac 1060 3gb mini, zotac 1070 mini, evga 1080 Ti black edition. total is $930 after taxes. brand new. good deal? because i got them.
. . .or if you don't want to dish out 2500 USD on a professional video card, and want to get a gaming card which can perform as well despite not having software specific drivers. Sometimes just raw transistor power can overcome.
Good review but
I never saw someone playing triple a titles at 165fps or more. All cards struggle to get over 100 fps at any Resolution if you want the best quality. Sometimes 1080p is more demanding than 4k if you want a real 4k experience on a 1080p screen. 16×msaa with advanced lod and some colour and sharpness mods... (Never play at maxed settings because it's more demanding than a higher resolution at high details.)
Just ordered a strix gtx 1080 for $520 (very cheap in Sweden) and I'm very happy with my purchase. Might not be able to play all a games at 4K ultra but if I play 4K and put some setting to high instead I will achieve 60fps. And of course 1440p ultra on every game is very achievable so imo the 1080 ti is not worth it, at least for me.
I already know the specs but ı still watch...
I want to game 60fps/High to Ultra/24" 1440p 144hz. I game on one monitor but I do have a dual monitor set up for work. Should I go 1080 or 1080ti?
for a new channel on YT you are ONE OF THE BEST
best wishes and keep up the great work
Thank you for all these sincere vids and best wishes to all of you working on the content
spoiler:
1080ti is as fast as 2x 980ti-s and the 780ti is even slower then 1060 3gb or around there somewhere :)
What about 1080P ultra on every game in a 144hz monitor what GPU do you recomend?
techdeals what do you think how many years my pc is stable? its running r7 370 2gb oc strix (1600mhz,1100mhz) and amd fx 6300 4.3ghz and 8gb ddr3 ram 2000mhz. And what do you think what i should upgrade later,,and what do you recommend for me?
I got a GTX 980 Ti, imma wait till the volta Gpu's come out
I have been waiting for vega for very long, and getting a little impatient right now, do you think I should get an nvidia or keep waiting for vega. I already have a 144hz freesync monitor.
this is why I love TechDeals
good content. very clear
Hi, I own a 3440x1400 100 hz Gsync monitor and am running a 1080 SLI set up. Gsync doesn't work too well with a SLI set up and I am thinking of getting rid of my SLI setup and just going for a single 1080TI. Will a single 1080TI be able to power games like The Witcher 3 at max setting with consistently high 90-100 FPS? At the moment, with Gsync on, my 1080 SLI is only able to push out high 70-low 80 FPS, but the card is only running at 60-70% load. Would a single 1080TI be able to beat this?
I know this question isnt about GPU's but i was wondering what processor would be worth buying to replace my current I5-4670k? I got a Asus Maximus VI hero Mboard and a Rog Strix OC GPU.
Hey Tech Can you help me? what do i need to play at standard 1440p 144hz rate what GTX do i need? 1080 or 1080TI?
please please please do a review for regular gtx 1080 please.. tq tech deals
I was gonna have one for Twitch Streaming yet I don’t have a 4k computer. if I got one, would I be able to run it at 4K and have it show as 4K for viewers, or will it not let me.
I think the 1080 TI is a must for anyone who wish to use 3 1080p monitors as well.
AMD 6870 1GB - $175 after tax and rebate (April 2012) (First PC Build)
AMD R9 380 4GB - $210 after promotion and tax (August 2015) (6870 died)
GTX 980 Ti or Better Equivalent for $150-250 - Future Upgrade
If I had bought a 7970 in early 2012 it would've been $550+ rather than being out less than $400 for 2 cards spread out. Thanks to being a new architecture, driver support and more VRAM the R9 380 > 7970; probably the Ghz Edition that came later in 2012 as well. Going from the 6870 to the 380 was a 2-2.25x performance upgrade.The top of the line card of 2015 was the 980 Ti for $650+; about *1/2 of that performance could be found in the R9 380 for 1/3 the price*.
If you pick the right CPU you're better equipped to handle that massive an upgrade without getting bottlenecked 3-5 years down the road so there's less incentive to upgrade to a new platform.
my EVGA FTW 1070 runs battlefield 1 at max detail 1440 P at an avg frame rate of 100
Battlefield 1 is amazingly well optimized... Try that on Ghost Recon :)
I want this card because I like to play games over 60 1080p don’t have all that 1440p or 4K resolutions they don’t change much at all and over kill is what I love to do 😍😂
a 1080ti is not overkill on a single 1080P monitor in x-plane, prepar3d, planet coaster,these are all considered games,i still can't max x-plane 11 on a single 1080p monitor, i use 9gb of the 11 gb on the 1080ti, so there are specific cases it's needed. you never cover any games except first person shooters so people don't know on this channel.i enjoy your video's and still learn alot, but you test the same games over and over. some fresh content would be appreciated as far as games go.thanks for another video, i know how time consuming it is to create these.
Love your content. By the way you should try smiling a bit more in your videos. Keep making more awesome stuff. :)
ryzen 1700 + predator x34 enough for 1080Ti?
what type gpu you would go for acer projector z650 1920x1080 ?
Love my 1080Ti. I won't upgrade until the 1280Ti comes out.
Cool and helpful info:)
I have a 1440p 165hz monitor, i plan to play all latest games at very high/ultra at 100 fps +. Should I get a 1080ti?
dataFreak most games dont run that high 60 frames should be wha u thinkin
one of the best tech channel.
Nc review tech deals
The best 1080 ti reivew, in tech deals i trust
thanks!
“Hello and welcome to Tech Deals." Anyway, I would buy any 1080 Ti if I have money,lol.
