Would the 980Ti be obsolete?

[Damien]

I plan to run 4k resolution, but also i'm eyeing on the GTX 1070

Depends what you mean "running". 60 FPS, no. 30 FPS, maybe?

59+

With hair-works, antialiasing triple buffering disabled Ambient oscillation too

Gaming 4K is still not a good option if you value your frame rate (or your wallet).

No single GPU on the market handles 4K very well. Sure, some games will work but most games will need many settings lowered.

You'll also need to make sure the rest of your PC is up to snuff.

4K gaming is not cheap.

980 Ti obsolete? No. Viable option for a new buy? Depends. Typically having the newer hardware is best... But for 4K, I wouldn't recommend the 980 Ti or 1070. I wouldn't even recommend 4K.

Messaggio originale di SundownKid:

The 1070 is superior to the 980Ti in every way.

Superior in every way? Hardly. Not sure where you are getting your information.

I'm currently on 1920x1080 for about 3 years now, i just want to upgrade to 2k or 4k so things would look nicer.

1440p is a viable option.

4K is essentially a novelty, especially at average desktop screen sizes and normal viewing distance.

You'll still need to make sure the rest of your PC is up to snuff. Simply slapping a high end GPU into any old PC doesn't quite work.

Are you planning on upgrading your current PC or a new build? If upgrade, what are your current full specs? If new build, what is your total budget?

New build is definitely a good idea, as the CPU would definitely be dead weight like Bernie (lol).

If you don't need the old PC to run, you can reuse some parts.

You can reuse the case, drive, and OS (if you have the key).

Do you have a particular budget for this new build?

With that kind of budget, I'd be looking into something like this...

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/LbQnHN

It includes one of the best 1440p monitors you can get. You can bump it up to 21:9 if you'd like for about $400 more.

You could even go for a 1080 for about $200 ish more.

Basically, your budget should get you just about all the latest high end goodies.

Doh! Didn't catch that you were located in Australia.

Out of the two builds you listed before, I'd choose the first one.

I'd probably recommend a different cooler and case. Silverstone is a bit... Meh. The rest of the parts are great brands.

The PSU might not be enough for overclocking, but would definitely be fine for stock operation.

Thanks, everything is going to be stock, no OCing or anything.

If you never plan on overclocking, you can save a little bit with a non-K locked processor and a lower end motherboard like an H170.

Check the specs of this gtx 980 Ti http://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/MATRIX-GTX980TI-P-6GD5-GAMING/ and compare them to what nvidia's 1080 v 980 ti (both base models) comparison chart says.

Yes the new gen of gpu is superior. Anything GTX is a a good card for gaming even the 6 sries and are not obsolete.

Just because a new Ferrari model is made available to buy does not mean you should scrap your older Ferrari that is sitting on the drive way..

Not looking at the 1080 at the moment.
