If you want bleeding-edge performance for a 4k monitor or VR, you're going to need 2 of these to really shine.
If you're more of a casual gamer with a 1080p 60Hz monitor or tv, you can save some money by getting a 1070 or AMD-equivalent. Overall Review: This card has a weird place in the GTX line-up. Medium-to-high settings will work on most games while keeping a 60 fps, but ultra settings will cause some frame-rate drop, down to the mid-30 fps range on the most demanding games. Also, it's very quiet.Ĭons: 4k is where things get a little tricky. This will output to 4k 60Hz, so movies and less-intensive applications will look gorgeous. I don't have a G-sync monitor so I can't tell you exactly how it performs at higher refresh rates, but I imagine it's buttery-smooth at pretty much everything below 4k.
Pros: Will run anything, and I mean anything, at 1080p 60Hz on ultra settings without a problem.
