    1080ti 3200x1800 performance?

    I'm looking to upgrade and play my games in either 2160p or 3200x1800. Currently have gtx 1070 stated in my profile. Not sure if I should try to sell my 1070 and get the 1080ti or put in another 1070 and go sli. Any suggestions?

    Also, I've seen the 1080ti struggle on certain titles to keep 60fps at 2160p can anyone comment on how the performance is at 3200x1800?
    Thanks:)

    No SLI. Go for a single 1080Ti.

    if you can afford it the 1080ti is your best option

    Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah, I kinda suspected 1 card was the way to go especially with recent games leaving out sli support completely. Just wish I could find some 3200x1800 benchmarks. I was hoping to play more demanding titles in that custom resolution as it's very close to 2160p in quality and not as demanding. Anyone with this card mind sharing their 3200x1800 performance?

    If u go 3200x1800 then 1 card is surely not enough for 60 fps unless u play a notch lower in graphics quality.

    Just get 1 ti now and later this year another 1.

    Benchmarks show a lot of games averaging 60 and up at 2160p. My 1070 is handling 1440p and 2880x1620 very nicely so I would think the 1080ti would be able to do 3200x1800 especially if it's doing 2160p.

    If someone could benchmark a few games at 3200x1800, it would be greatly appreciated.

    If u have a 144 hertz screen even on 1080p then a single gtx 1080 wont do 144 fps period.

    Even my sli set-up wont do 144 fps on 1080p with games like metro with all settings maxed including ssaa.

    Same as the witcher 3 on 1080p ultra with hairworks forgot about the 144 fps.

    SLI is still the future for 1080p @ 144 fps or 4k @ 60 fps. [max settings]

    up^^

    OFC if u max EVERYTHING, like aax8 or more, Ultra all etc, then yes, u need sli.

    BUT now SLI/CF is like dead end...less and less games utilizes it, and there are always problems...

    Well, as som1 said- buy ti, then, after year another if u wish.

    Personally I wouldn't bother...

    I am not saying that but forgot about max settings then @ 144 fps :p

    gtx 1080 sli is still 25% [maybe more] faster then a single gtx 1080 ti.

    Witcher 3 for example is an excelent sli scaling game same as deus ex md, and crysis 3.

    Also mass effect androblabla is excelent with sli scaling.

    4k 60 fps is not possible with everything cranked up with a single gtx 1080 ti in most modern games.

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. :) Still hoping to get a 1080TI user to benchmark a few titles at 3200x1800. I'm playing on a 60hz 4k TV at a reasonable distance so I usually cap my games to 60fps with vsync and use lower levels of AA. Honestly at this resolution, with lower AA like 2xmsaa or even fxaa, I really can't see any jagged edges so I don't see the point of cranking up AA. Would you guys say that this card is good for keeping 60fps at ultra settings, demanding games at 3200x1800(which is 80% as demanding as 2160p) and less demanding at 2160p with low levels of AA?

    I've had both 1070 SLI and now a 1080 Ti. (I've had 1060, 3 1070s, 1080TI)

    You will get the exact same performance as a 1080 Ti since most games scale around 70%. If the games scaled perfectly or close to it, it would be a decent jump in performance, but this isn't the case. Get a 1080 Ti.

    Knowing the game fully well, that's 3xSSAA. You're basically running 3325x1870, not 1080p anymore.

    You can't just blindly raise the sliders and claim a game can't do 144FPS on a powerful setup such as 1080 SLi especially when one of those sliders is 3xSSAA.

    People still play Metro? Lol.

    Anyway, it's one of the games that the 1070s will surpass a 1080 Ti in.

    Thanks but I'm no longer wondering whether or not to go SLI, I'm wondering how this card performs at 3200x1800. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind benchmarking a game or two at a custom resolution of 3200x1800(preferably with settings at ultra and AA at the lowest setting but not off completely)? Thanks.

    Unfortunately I have no way of benching that resolution.

    You could benchmark 3200x1800 using DSR in Nvidia control panel.

    I don't think it's quite the same, but I'm aware of that.

    You're correct that it isn't the same. The game would be downsampled to your screens resolution but nonetheless, the game would be rendering in 3200x1800 so performance should be the same. In other words; the quality wouldn't be as good as actually running that resolution but the performance impact would be the same.

    is best to go with the best single gpu you can afford and then sli it later if needed
