| I have money saved up from work that I am able to spend (a little over $600) and since many of my IRL friends are into PC gaming, so my RX 460 isn't cutting it. I am willing to spend my money, I want good performance on high/ultra @ 1080 and looking to see if I can find something else than a 1080 ti for $500 Relavent stuff I will use a graphics card for: Video editing in 1080 Modern AAA titles for video games Relavent specs: I5 4460 750 PSU (ik its overkill but I got it dirt cheap) ### #### ## #### 2x 1080 monitors C&G please help and thx |

1080 gtx for 1080p may be overkill Im using a 1060 gtx for my 1440p and I have more than enough power to everything on high and video edit
depends what you think the gtx 1080 could be used for but in personal exp getting a high end card like that for 1080p is kinda pointless just my 2cents

Just buy a 1060 or 1070, either will be more than enough since you're only gaming on one monitor.

| I've been looking at the 6GB for a while but would only get it if it were 250 or lower... I agree with you that the 1080 is overkill for my current rig tho |

I think I read somewhere that the higher res scales better with more cores Im also using a 7700k so might just be with my system but a better monitor is probably more worth it instead of overkilling your system to get 100 fps in arma 3 maxed out vs 75 fps in arma 3 with a better looking monitor
