I have the 980. Thought about selling it on ebay and buying the GTX 980ti, used. But I think I should wait for Pascal, what do you guys think ? Or just get another980 ?

I don't know if DX 12 will stack vrams but if not then I shouldn't buy another 980

not enough to max everything at 1440p.... Great for 1080p though ! I think it's the vram that's holding it back... gtx 980 ti is a better choice. What do you guys think ?

@mrbojangles25: You could consider a 2K monitor. There are many times when I just use a single 290 (instead of crossfire) @ 2K and I'm always able to run games on High/Ultra settings.

(As surprising as it is one R9 290 can handle even intense graphical games @ 1440P (always able to achieve High settings & 60 fps or at least near 60 fps).

So with your 980 you should have no problems gaming @ 1440P.

Oh wow I get great performance when I set it to 1080p.

I was running it at 1440p... but I think Vram is the issue here. GTX 980 4gb of vram might not be enough :// Hopefully next gen graphic cards will have lots of vram

No man you won't be fine with 980 at 1440 if you want to max everything... even with smaa and DOL set on high, my fps is not smooth

GTX 980

i5 3570 at 4.5

16gb of ram

This game runs poorly, and the graphics are not par with today's standards... I mean I get better FPS with GTA V, and the game looks 1000 times better

@klunt_bumskrint:

1440p

But I hear 4GB vram wouldn't be really enough in the next year. That's why I'm afraid of buying another 980

With Dx 12, would it be possible to combine Sli vram ? 4gb + 4gb = 8?
