with that Ti, you should be ashamed of yourself if you run 1080p Have a look at some of the Asus ones. I dont think they will be budget friendly though

My thought exactly. Will have a look over weekend cheers Doug.

Yes Worf, especially if you're running that 1080P at 60HZ. You need to find a 1080P monitor that runs at 180HZ or better to look at 1440P.

Andrew, 1440p at 60 hz is a big improvement over 1080p. I can not vouch for 144hz like a lot of people prefer. My monitor is pretty big too, 32 inch. I OCd it but really saw no difference. I will let others that have higher refresh rates give you their advice as I believe them, but my eyes just dont see it

Ya, with a 1080TI I'd be going with 1440P as well. No real concern of dropping below 60 FPS at any graphic setting with that GPU power.

4K is also very interesting. IMHO the 1080TI is one of the few that can run decent frames at 4K. As a gamer, what I'd be worried about are which games are dropping to 30's at 4K. I'd have to look again at the gaming benchmarks and of course many of them don't show the minimum frames. For this conservative guy, 4K is a bit of a gaming risk unless you're running SLI, and SLI doesn't seem to be working that great these days.

Blackrose will be running 1080TI's in SLI. He is at 1440P I think but hoping he will be letting us know how SLI is doing in games.
