phil bottle 9,760 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 With graphics cards finally coming back down to a reasonable price, I'm tempted to pick up a 1080ti. I see the Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB STRIX has dropped down to £750. However, I believe Nvidia will be announcing a new card range and new architecture at the end of the summer, so I'm kind of not sure whether to go for it now, or carry on waiting. I love my 770, it has been a beast if a card for 5 years but doesn't cut it on ultra, or even high, with some new games. Any thoughts?

The3rdWalker 1,271 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I think the new 11 series should bump the price of the 1080ti down a little bit. Holy cow you're on a 770?! It's going to be a whole new world when you get a 1080ti. That card will do you right for about a 5-10 years. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/5939-gpu-upgrade/#findComment-108481 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a whole new world when you get a 1080ti. That card will do you right for about a 5-10 years. It's amazing how many games I play that rely more on a fast CPU, which is why I've persisted with the 770 for so long.But it's struggling now with games requiring more grunt...and GPU memory in particular as it's only 2gb...and so time to move on.Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/5939-gpu-upgrade/#findComment-108496 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diddums 4,346 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 1080ti is overkill for you, I'd be looking at a 1070, 1070ti at most. Both of those will last you many years, the 1080ti is a 4k card.

phil bottle 9,760 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 It arrived today, couple of days early. I managed to blag an extra work from home day. Installed like a dream.

Spacedeck 920 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 @J4MES OX4D do you use GeForce Experience? If not you might as well just uninstall it. I download my drivers manually and only install what I actually need, also run it as a clean install for each update. Usually it installs crap I don't even need or use if I use GeForce Experience.

So true, even though it recognises I have a new GPU, it's kept the same optimal settings as for the 770 lol. So far: Battlefield 1 on ultra settings has made it a game I want to play again. So smooth it's unreal. Escape From Tarkov has been a revelation. Doom. Oh my lord. Tom Clancy games next...
