Forget about what people say about this "overkill". Clearly they have no idea what the future will bring in a couple years. a GTX 970 will be crawling on its knees in a few years once game designers bring different, complex and advanced game engines to the table. A 970 will not hold up in a few years (could be even a year, we don't know). I don't care who says it; games will become far advanced and Maxwell will be a thing in the past. It's unfortunate, but the truth.

If a 970 becomes a paper weight after a year, some game dev is not doing their job right! But point well taken.

hehehippieif u can, save up for an ultrawide. i'm loving 3440x1440 resolution. too bad Overwatch doesn't support 21:9 ratio, but Rise of the Tomb Raider looks absolutely stunning on my Dell U3415W. my current 1080 FE is running it perfectly above 60fps and hovers around 69*c to 71*c during gaming. that's just with the factory clocks and a modified fan curve using Afterburner.

Think i posted similar comment before, ppl were saying the 980 was overkill for a 1920x1080 monitor and certainly was not the case as back then i couldnt even max out several games at that resolution. Im sure a 1080 might eat up just bout any game at that resolution but i mean ur at least future proofing urself also so its not even a bad thing rly. I play at 1440p now and my friend is already saying a 1080 is overkill for that and im like so lol? Maybe it is but i have my heart set on a hybrid and pretty much gonna do what i want regardless because might upgrade monitor in future or something so to each his own :)

I use this Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24" (1920x1200) LED LCD Monitor - 16:10 - @60Hz on a 3-Way Titan Gaming Computer.
I will use the same when the GTX 1080Ti HC or Hybrid is released.
I do have two Dell Ultra HD 4K Monitor P2415Q 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor 3840 x 2160 Pixels and I do not use or like them.
The text is to small for me for an everyday Monitor.

You do know that you can have Windows scale the text so that it's more readable, right? I've got it scaled so it's easier to read, but still smaller than my 1920x1200 monitor, so that I still benefit from being able to show more on the screen at once. And then I get the full 4K resolution benefit in games, which is amazing. My 1920x1200 is a Dell 2405fpw, which I spent $1000 for in 2005, and it's been fantastic for over 11 years now. But the 4K monitor from Monoprice that I just spent $350 on a few weeks ago is better. It happens with technology. Things get better, faster, and cheaper over time. We're at that point now with monitors and resolution, where 4K itself is cheap enough, and starting with the 1080 series, single-card graphics solutions are fast enough, and within 1-3 years will also be cheap enough. I think 4K is the future, 1080p is the past, and 1440p is this awkward half measure that's better than 1080p, but will be outright superceded by 4K in a very short time.
