Speaking of CPU man lol... My 4790k Cant keep up with the 1080ti... With my R9-290 and 4790k when i built this system in 2015, I could downclock my cpu to 3000mhz and my games fps never dropped.. With the 1070ti and Vega 64 i tried overclocking my 4790k and still nothing, downclocking it.. nothing.
BUT with the 1080TI, i noticed the fps seemed only 30% higher (yes i said ONLY lol) then the 1070ti in warhammer total war 2. A little slower then i thought, So i decided to overclock my 4790k to the max ive been able to get it at which is 4700mhz, and from 4000 MHZ to 4700mhz i saw a 10% improvement in FPS.. so basically im talking from 63 fps to 70 fps.. Interesting, so It took a 1080TI to finally topple the mighty 4790k lol. This cpu is no slouch man
Yea the 770 plus tax ended up to be like 820$ for the strix.. I was like what the hell am i doing spending this much money, I think the most ive ever spent was $400, for a 9700pro.. Or 8800GTS. The rest of my cards like a 4890k and the r9-290 were only like $350... And now that im gaming with it.. im so happy. In Total war warhammer 2 the Campaign map benchmark, the Vega 64 On ultra got 59fps, and 68 with shadows off. The 1070TI got 73 On ultra, and 78 with shadows off. The 1080TI, got 98 on Ultra, and 112 with shadow off.. The other benchmarks were all the same story.. 30% more then the 1070ti, and 50+% more then the Vega 64
So think about this for a second, the Vega got 59fps.. The 1080ti got 98... then the vega got 68, and the 1080TI got 112.. Thats 70% SEVENTY PERCENT more fps..
EDIT: i just tried subnautica..... HAHAH, The Vega 64 was getting 60-70fps swiming around at the starting point, the 1070ti was getting maybe 65-75 fps. The 1080TI... im getting 110-125fps .... WTF is that even possible to see 110% more fps then a Vega 64 or 1070ti
