Does Frame Rate Help With Shooting Accuracy?

New Question
I have this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696
If I get a 1070, will I need an additional power cable or adapter?

Original Question

With my 660ti I play at 1920X1080 on a 60" plasma.

I've been playing a lot of RUST lately on the highest setting with a frame rate of anywhere from 44-60. I guess it depends on what the scene is rendering?

I play with a guy that has a 1080 and he sees closer to 175-200 FPS. He's a dead on shot, does FPS help with that?

Would higher frame rate allow one to see a clearer image, further out?

Not sure I want to spring (if needed) $650 on a card but I could do $450 for a 1070. Or buy a used 660ti and do SLI?

TIA

Absolutely do not buy a second 660 Ti for SLI. Multi-GPU is nothing but a headache, don't do it.

Higher FPS means lower latency, which will generally help you play better. A GTX 1070 is a great choice for high FPS gaming at 1920x1080.
 
More importantly, are you using v-sync? That would add latency that until I got a G-Sync monitor, I "felt" was unnoticeable and thus acceptable.

Even 50 frames with no v-sync feels more responsive/accurate than 60 frames with v-sync. At least in my opinion.

Your friend might also just be a better shot. I had a friend who played COD for hours (he was unemployed living with his parents at the time). He was a monster. I could never beat him. I always accused him of cheating haha. And he was using a system far inferior to mine.
 
OK, no SLI.
v-sync was set to be managed by the 3d application. I turned it off for Steam as Rust isn't listed. I'll try that.
Thanks.
 
I think you'll have to either disable Vsync in rust itself, or search for it in the profiles section of the Nvidia control panel. Just setting it for steam won't automatically set it for every steam game you have.
 
1070 would more than likely be just fine, even a 1060 given the game specs (it has a direct-x 9 mode or dx 12). Might try running the game in DX9 if you aren't already (if you don't have windows10, you're running it in DX9). Given that your current card has two 6 pin power ports, you should have no problems with power.

I've run the game on my 7870 and it seemed ok but I didn't spend much time in game.

Tips I found for Rust performance tweaks, might try those first:

High frame rate does help your mouse tracking, but what will help more is using a low DPI setting on your mouse. While a low settings makes your mouse move slower, it makes it easier to pinpoint your shot. You need to find a nice happy medium, and maybe setup a sniper button on your mouse if possible (some mice let you have on the fly low DPI mode by the press of a button).
