So, im one of the suckers who bought Titan black back in the day and it's time to throw it into the garbage.
You guys think 1080 will be enough for 1440p gaming for the next few years?
Planning to buy 1080 Hydro Copper edition.

Well if your refresh rate is 60Hz yeah gtx 1080 is hiting well over 60fps (15-20 fps more ) at 1440p on most games ultra so i guess it would be ok for the next 2-3 years .

But is it enough for ultra widescreen 1440p... 60 fps on ultra settings for years to come at 3440px1440p, I'd like it in writing.

I think the 1080 is perfect for 1440p if its a Gsync panel.
Because it will get 60 FPS in current games and it will go higher on older ones. So a 144hz monitor with Gsync is a great match.
On 4k you only get about 40 FPS on current games. So 4k isnt ready for a Single GPU solution yet. Gamers want 60 frames not 40.
And on 1080p it will push current games well past 60 frames and for older games it will be way past 144hz which is a waste of GPU power.

For me, ultra widescreen is the perfect way to play. I love the huge fov and you still get 1440p resolution.
The Witcher 3? Stunning Dark Souls 3? Amazing. Star Citizen? fantastic, when it works.
However it requires about ~30% more processing power than regular 2560x1440p, but it doesn't get many benchmarks.

Yes, since my Fury X is just enough for 1440p gaming in DX11-12, the GTX 1080 is way faster, its more than enough for 1440p gaming.

Don't joke with so nice card as TITAN Black.
He will stay your excellent backup card.
I think GTX1080 will be enough for 1440p if you keep filters disabled in most graphic demanding games.
But in some games you will be able to enable and filters.

I'm using a GTX 980ti on a 4k monitor so a GTX 1080 will be more than enough on any resolution at or below that.

Might not be able to run max settings at 144 hz but I'd imagine at 60 it'd be great. But at 1440p it's pretty easy to sacrifice some settings and not notice anything worse with the graphics quality.

Gamers want 60 frames not 40.
Why would gamers want 60 Frames (fps) when the human eye can only register 30-35 frames ? ... to many are obssessed with 60 fps ... at 30-35 Fps its enough for your eyes but yes your brain will notice a slight stutter at 40 frames your eyes will not notice any difference and ur brain will most likely not notice anything except that it might feel sluggish but you cant detect the difference between 39 frames or 40 frames.... 50-60 frames is overkill for the human eye while the brain "see´s" a difference in fluidity but the so called "holy grail" 60 fps is just in ur head.... 50 is more than enough for smooth gameplay

weird, i can clearly see the difference between 40, 60, 120 fps and up. It starts to be a wash in the 120 to 144 bracket, though. This is why i had to have 2x titan x's, one could not give me the frame rates in the 120 -144 bracket , anything around 60 is a stutter fest to me. To each their own.

The 1080 will be plenty for 1440p.
I run a 980 Ti with two 27" ASUS monitors (PG279Q @ 165hz and MG279Q @ 144hz).
The two games I play the most of are Star Wars Battlefront and Doom. Battlefront at 100% maxed out ultra settings (native resolution, no DSR) and I'm never below 90-95 frames. Even better with Doom. If I disable G-Sync, I can maintain a consistent 110-125 frames and it feels like G-Sync is on in terms of smoothness (no stuttering or tearing).
And it's honestly a waste to have something like a 1080 (even a 900 series card) if someone is stuck in 1080p @ 60hz land.
Contrary to the post above me, it has absolutely nothing to do with what your eye can see or brain can process. And it's not about frames either...it's all about the refresh rate. Ask anyone who games at 120hz and over if they'll ever consider turning back. Trust me...the answer is no.

And 640k ought to be enough for anyone! You joined this board just to spam about the eye only being able to see 30-35 FPS? Movies and stuff trick the eye into thinking there's fluid motion at 24 FPS, but without 180 degree shutter and motion blur this wouldn't work. It's a limitation directors have to make a real effort to deal with in action sequences. Current VR headsets are basically using 180 degree shutters (low persistence displays,) at 90 FPS because that's the best compromise between performance and cost right now. They would prefer 120Hz plus.

I fired up my 1080GTX on the first day. I've been using EVGA precisionx 16 (for some reason precisionx OC V6.0.1 does not work). I'm using the founders edition and even though it was in a Gigabyte box I would have hoped the new Voltage/frequency curve that comes with precisionx OC V6.0.1 would work!! Any tips or links to forums that can guide me for this? anyways I'm about to make your day and tell you YES indeed you can clock all games at 1440p max settings. My card's core clock is actually 1800 stock and managed to get it to 2050Mhz with nvidia hairworks and AAx8 for the Witcher 3. It chewed through The Division as well and got me a constant 58 - 60 fps. I even got the memory clock from 5000 to 5300Mhz no sweat. Card was running at 60 degrees Celsius. I can provide photos if it will ease your mind haha. About to do it on my 4k TV and check the performance increase! WOOP WOOP. PS - Division got about 42-45FPS constantly running at the same temperature as above last night. Obviously everything maxed at native resolution includion ultra AA @ 4096 × 2160 :DDDDDDD Lastly im running 12Gb or ram a i7 3770k 3.5Ghz and a 1080gtx BOOM Happy gaming guys!!!
