You should be fine, I had two 1080s at one point and they did 4k very well. You'll just have to turn down the more demanding settings like AA and such.
I'm curious of this as well. My rig is hooked up to my home theater through my receiver via optical and the only surround I can get is with a Soundblaster Z which does dolby digital live, as my receiver doesn't have 6 channel analog inputs. I'm quite satisfied with the result, however the...
I wouldn't call it a lame duck. I just use a Corsair h115i with some Noctua NF-A14's on it for my 6950x and I've gotten it up to 4.4 at 1.38v with temps around 80c under stress. For every day use though I keep it at 4.3 with no issues, temps top out at 74c under stress (25-45c average during 4k...
Tried this with my titans and I couldn't get even an extra 5 mhz out of the overclock. I can put +180 on the core and no higher, regardless if the slider or curve is used (even at just the last voltage step)
I went through that exact upgrade path and found it really wasn't worth the investment. The 980ti's won't get you as much as you're probably hoping for on the used market, regardless of their retail price, as a 1070 is roughly equivalent in performance. I only saw a marginal gain in benchmarking...
This man is right. I've been through too many GPU's in the last 2 years trying to find my desired performance level for 4k (which is to say, absolutely everything maxed at 60 fps min). I had 2 970's, then 2 980ti's, then 2 1080's, now finally 2 Titan XP's. The 2 1080's came pretty damn close but...
You can get an OSD through afterburner, but you have to enable each individual value you want monitored. Go into the settings menu under the "monitoring" tab, should have a list of things like gpu usage, temperature, etc. Select the ones you want to see and click the "Show on OSD" button. This...
Agreed, people argue that mobo sound is good enough but I need something that will do 5.1 surround through optical as I have my sound hooked up to my home theater. As such my only option is a PCIE x1 card that does dolby digital live. I'm on the X99 platform and there is literally only one brand...
