Would a single GTX 780 Ti card be adequate for gaming on a 144 Hz 1440p G-Sync monitor, without having to turn down too many settings? Or are there any other viable single-card options besides GTX 980 Ti or Titan X?
Simply look at reviews. A 980 is hardly any faster than a 780 Ti. That said, other than a great deal, why on earth would you fool with a 780 Ti at this point?Thanks for all of the responses. From what I have read, it looks like my update choices are 780 Ti (less $ with reduced settings) or 980 Ti (more $ with max settings).
One follow-up question - I had considered a 980, but felt it was too similar in specifications (and ultimately performance) to a 780 Ti. Is this an accurate assessment?

Thanks for your feedback, and that's a fair question. For both cards, I have seen the reviews, along with their selling prices (used) on multiple sites. From what I can tell, a used 780 Ti can be purchased for less than a used 980. If they are truly that close in performance, then my preference is the 780 Ti.
I am not considering a new 980; if I were to spend that kind of money, I might as well pony up for a new 980 Ti.
[edit] - Your point about "simply look at reviews" was spot-on. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked about the 980.
Stop sweating the numbers and enjoy playing your games?I hate to bring this up again, but I have a hard time understanding what is holding me back..
I play csgo and dota, but I have to turn down settings to get it decent.. I play on a S2417DG (1440P @ 144hz) but i strugge to get 144fps in csgo.
I have a 780 ti paired with 16gb ram and a 4790k, yet I have to go all @ medium just to get around 120 fps.
Got any advice?
It is hard playing it competetive with frame dropsStop sweating the numbers and enjoy playing your games?
It is running @ 4,3 ghz, and I've only got ssd's - will try to install it on the 2nd ssd then.Can you overclock the CPU further if the cooler can handle the heat?
Are you running the game from a SSD? If not, try that. If you are, try a different drive.
Does your overclock change the speed at which the SATA and PCIE lanes run? That might be inducing instability.
Get a 980 Ti for 1440p 144Hz, I think you'll be very happy with the performance even on just a single card. I tend to target 80ish fps for my games and the 980 Ti can deliver it in just about any game at maxed or at least near maxed settings. With the performance I'm getting I haven't felt the need to pick up a 2nd 980 Ti since I don't care too much about completely maxing everything at 100+ fps.
I've found that aiming for 72fps yields "smoother" gameplay on a 144Hz monitor. Likewise, 60fps on a 120Hz monitor - in both cases, it's trying to hit a multiple of the refresh rate that ends up with better perceived smoothness.I agree. I have been running 1440p@144 Hz + 980 Ti for a few years now and still haven't found a good reason to upgrade. With a G-Sync display I don't really care if framerates sometimes fluctuate to under 60 fps and you can always drop down AA settings if you would rather get higher framerates. Personally I'm happy as long as the game runs somewhere around 60 fps.
i know this is old but no one gave you a proper answer: drop everything as low as it'll go including resolution. if your framerate is still bad you've got some shit wrong with your system that i have no idea how to diagnose. you should be getting at least 3x that on normal competitive settings.I hate to bring this up again, but I have a hard time understanding what is holding me back..
