780Ti @ 1440p

[escrow4]

Enough grunt or should I buy another? Highish settings @ 50-60FPS, in all upcoming games, naturally not maxed. Looking to mate it to a Dell U2715H (that didn't type out right did it ). And does anyone have one of these monitors?

your card and games so its your decision. I have never understood the point of people asking others if you should upgrade. and we cant predict the future but I am guessing vram might be an issue in some upcoming games.

A lot of games, just a few settings turn down or off will boost you performance greatly without losing much IQ.

Soft Shadows, HDAO, Global Illumination. These are all performance killers that only slightly improve the overall IQ.

I find as long as I can run my games with texture quality maxed, geometry/models maxed, regular dynamic shadow/lighting on and MSAA it looks great.

I have a 780TI and I have no problems running BF4 @ 1600p

SOLD. I'm buying one tomorrow.

Personally I'd drop MSAA before giving up SSAO or GI. At such a high res I feel that FXAA or SMAA is perfectly fine.

I run GTX 770 SLI with only 2GB cards and so far everything has run rather nicely at 2560x1440 as long as you don't go overboard with AA settings as those increase VRAM use quite a bit. Yes, even the dreaded Shadow of Mordor runs fine on High textures where the game recommends 3GB.

That said, on a single 780 Ti I think you have to give up some settings to maintain a solid 50-60 fps. I imagine you might be able to get a good deal on a second one used as there are probably many who have moved to 980s just because it's newer.

Yeah I agree, if there is a SMAA T2X option that seems to have the best tradeoff for performance and image quality and does not muck up textures like TXAA. Though I think the 3GB VRAM may become a limiting factor at 1440p if you want to keep it for a while and have textures cranked up.

Shrug, you should have no problems at all with a 780Ti at 1440p. I ran at 1440p with a much weaker 7950B for over a year without issues. Current 290X doesn't even break a sweat, figuratively, unless up the AA to 8x.
