Do you think a gtx 1080 can run at 1440 p with this game ?
So i got this card since forever and i was able to play every game smoothly on this resolution without any problems , even red dead 2 at ultra settings with like 35 - 50 fps .

Some people here haven't been gaming on PC for a long time by the looks of it, or they'd know that in the majority of games there's always a bunch of graphical settings that drop performance massively, but don't enhance the image quality enough to justify them, and if turned off, games run flawlessly even on older GPUs. IE. --- Nvidia hairworks, volumetric fog, anti-aliasing in 1440p/4k, etc.

And yet consoles exist, and even though I don't really like them they are still crazy popular. Besides, who needs 400fps, there is no diffrence at some point :d

It is a waste, to have high mid tier and high tier GPU´s for 1080p...

It is not a waste.

1080p is still standard and 1440p is too expensive right now. Even with 1080p game can still dip below 60 fps. 1080p is more than enough. It is not ancient yet.

Things look just fine.

1440p too expenssive? its been dirt cheap for ages, I´ve run it for ages... My current monitor have been with me for 6 years as well...
The only reason, I can see a 1080p VA monitor being useful, are for people that wanna play some low grade, FPS or Moba, at competitive scene.. (then you want more than 144hz and you want as low ms as possible)

But if you want something all around or like me want beautiful colours, then you go IPS, these do 1 ms today, the old ones did 4ms (perfectly fine, you wont see a difference, unless you play CSGO at 400+ fps)

But the colours.... they do a world of difference and 1440p just looks much more sharp.. I can understand people not getting 4k, that is pricy (because you need better hardware all the time to run it properly) and because at lower " it makes less sense, even more so if you sit close..

but 1440p, is what you should be getting, if you buy high tier GPU tiers (x70ti and above)

I´ve never had a game dip below 60 fps, unless we talk game issues/optimization issues..
A game like Cyper punk 2077 runs with 60-80 FPS for me, on very high settings + RT on and my PC was build around a 2080 (now a 3060ti, that is comparable, it was a free replacement for the 2080, that had fan issues during its late lifetime)

My point here is, if you have a balanced system and quality hardware (not just GPU) and know how to tweak your games, you will run them perfectly well... people just slide right way too much... you don´t need ultra.. ultra is for promotional reasons and if the game is ancient.. like if I load up a 6 year old game, with a brand new machine, then it makes sense to go ultra, if I still get 144 fps...

30 fps was great like 20 years ago

My C64 ran 60 fields, back in the day.
Most games during the 90´s on PC ie. was 60 fps or above..

30 fps have always been a console thing.

Bubble Bobble 60 fps baby

no. try again.

1080 can play this game fine. 1080 is one of the greatest longevity cards of all time. i play new games at max 4k on it

Enough with the hot air. I am well aware.

I prefer 90 fps and visuals that look decent.
If 1440p is not expensive then you can buy it. I plan on 1440p when i can. UE4 and similar engine require 4K anyway with their extreme dither headache.
Another reason I'm not to keen on wasting on 1440p. I'm afraid of dithering not looking any better.

1080p is only ancient to those that have disposable income. a decent 1440p monitor is at least 300 USD. Something I can't spend at the moment.

I will look for sales at the end of the year.

Even at 1080p I always have games dip below 75-60 on high, especially UE4 games.

As I said, I have run a 1440p for ages now and you don´t need the best of the best.
The setup you listed you will be more than enough, unless you wanna play competitive games (but then graphics does not matter to you anyway)

I fully respect your argument about not being able to buy a monitor, but when you talk about having a setup balanced (I assume its balanced and not overly bottlenecked) with a 3070ti, then I assume you can afford a 600-1000k euro monitor and yes.. they do cost that, if you want a proper one.

Nah, I think 99% of steam users can't afford a 1000k euro monitor.

300-600 ranges here in the states.

And with the price of GPUs nowadays. It's not safe to assume. Before the pandemic. Yea. Sure. It might have been safer to get a 1440p monitor.

With rendering techniques looking like ♥♥♥♥ due to extreme dithering, and them pretty much forcing a 1440p or 2160p systems. Specifically UE4's rendering technique. I'm not to enthused. With my sensitivity to it. 1440p will probably not look any better. And I'm willing to bet on it.

But I was on a 1060 6GB for 6 years. It was time to upgrade.

Bubble Bobble with my brother was the best.

International Karate was pretty good also. I had Samurai Warrior but can't remember so much from it.

Try gaming in 4k at 120fps and you'll do everything to keep that standard. 1080p looks ancient to me now

Unless of course you want 240+ frames and the lowest possible latency.
