1080 60fps is fine for me I do not need 4k as I do not see much differance at all. Higher than 60fps and I see no differance to me either. But when it drops below that to gain looks na that is a step backwards to me. If I cant get constant 60fps across the board then no thanks. My current 970 gets me constant 60 fps accross all my games and looks awesome. So it will be difficult as hell for them to convince me to get RTX. Its to young and not enough coverage. Save your cash till it drops down. Also Exodus appears to have way more outside than inside. So that is alot of cash to go yeah RTX for that little boost.

Price drops? Lol.. that rarely happens anymore. It's more like "do I want to wait and pay maybe $50-100 less, or play now and eat that cost", and has been that way for a long time.

Also, if you can't differentiate 60fps and over, more power to you for staying at where you can play. I can notice the difference. 90fps is the threshhold for me to keep things smooth.

Sidenote, have you actually seen anything on a monitor that has higher refresh rates than 60hz? Usually I see this argument (incorrectly) thrown around by people that never have.

Anyway, VR also gets served better by higher frame rates. Same issues, motion sickness, fixed by HFR gaming. That's one reason why I went with a 144Hz monitor.

There are certainly tiers in gaming where people want to be. I'm not looking to game at what my 780 could have done, which is 1080p60. My GTX1080 is at the limit for what I like in 1440p/4k30/60 gaming without reducing settings. That's why I was asking the people that game in that tier for their real world experiences. Also, you might want to consider gsync or freesync. I don't get smoothness issues until frames frop to around 39fps with gsync enabled. It was worth the price.

IF you want top tier fair do's. But right now my 970 n 32inch Sony will be kicking butt at 1080p and not needing it to be higher than that. Plus if you want to splash that cash then on you go am not stopping ya. VR I dont care for. Putting something on my head for game that is nearly the price of a console of as much as my base unit costs no thanks does not do any more immersion to games for me. If I wanna turn my head in game al use track IR cheaper and does what it needs to. If I wanna jump around the room waving my arms around al play one of the wii games way me mates on drinking nights or with my god kids. When I game I rather sit in my chair no have to move much at all. Its just another fad like 3d which didnt work for me waste of money. All what am saying is just my two cents into it all. If I can keep getting ultra and 60fps in my future games hell yeah. If I gotta upgrade then fine. Will it hurt and tick me off then yeah, will I complain at the price yeah. Would I wait yep even if it saves am a tad damn straight. Cause I do not think the prices we are seeing is worth the product.

Fellas, I could agree with both of you. It's like anything else. Once you get a steady diet of something better, then something less just doesn't seem as good. I have seen monitors with higher refresh rates and, sure, it looks fantastic.

But honestly, my 1080 on this monitor of mine always looks smooth as silk and keeps me a lot more than just satisfied. It looks great and plays great so I'll try and keep my money a little longer before forking it over for an expensive GPU upgrade.

Game on, bruthas.

DarkTao, I'm gaming on my 4k TV for a while now and I'm never going back to 1080p. Yep, I fired up some older games such as Batman:Arkham Origins, Stalker: Call Of Pripyat or Dead Space 2.

Play the Shadow of games (Mordor/War). They're amazing at 1440p. At 4k, it's no contest.

I was wondering about those 2 games. Thank you for informing
