The New NVIDIA TITAN X: The Ultimate. Period.

Wait...what? I think the 1080 will surely be a capable 1080p card for at least 5-6 years. For one, I'm pretty sure it wasn't targeted at the 1080p market, I'd say it's more a 4k/1440p card. Games aren't going to suddenly get too demanding for a flagship card in a couple months. What are you saying? Let me get to the point. The 1080 will as PowPow stated be able to handle games at 1080p for YEARS to come. Maybe not forever but it sure as **** won't be obsolete in a couple years. Hell, the GTX 680 came out in 2012 and THAT was aimed at 1080p and it still performs great at that resolution to this day. Knock it 2 resolution tiers down (720p) and it's a ****ing beast. So yeah, 1080 will be relevant for years to come UNLESS there'll be this huge freaking increase in the performance of GPUs that I haven't heard about. Sorry if my tone was sassy.

You are assuming games wont use more power than they do now. Which you are wrong. I am sure the GTX 1080 wont max next years far cry game among others.

GTX 680... LOL is a card that?

1080 will be relevant depending on how low your standards are.

I am just gonna address one of your points. there is no such thing as 1080p gaming for years. Games are gonna come out which require more power every year, so a 1080 will only be highend for a few months. just like every other high end card.

I call bullsiht on this one! How do you tell us there has been no such thing 1080P gaming for years? When did this came to a stop? Is it the 1440P is the newness right now, or is it 4K?

You are missing my point. No card can max any resolution at 1080p and over for years at 60fps.

You either deal with low fps or low quality.

Hope I am clearer now.

EDIT: LOL just read your post again... Are you really that slow you missed the whole context of the argument?

1440p is the resolution before 4k and is more affordable than 4k right now, but ofcourse you're gonna need a monitor that can display those resolutions for them to be very effective as well. Dunno why pezz even cares about resolutions and graphics settings anymore though, because I see some console threads he posted in where it seems he is planning on switching to console gaming because too much issues for PC games this generation.

Once a high end card is made for a certain resolution it will last at least two generations, before you have to lower settings in games to get better performance at the recommended or minimum requirements for newer games for that card. At that point thought it's time for a upgrade anyways. People have no problem "upgrading"(in quotes) their Xbox One for a Xbox One S in less than three years, so it's not only the PC world that this is happening in now.

According to Steam's hardware survey 1080P and 768P are the most common gaming resolutions for at least 5 years, by a factor of 30 when compared to 1440P or 4K. If that trend holds, and it will, 4K gaming won't be a thing for at least 10 years. So buying a GTX 1080 right now will last for another 5 years, easily. The fact that the most common GPU on Steam is the 970, followed by the 960, the 1080 will last a while for main stream gamers.

I agree, Further more at 1440p and 4K you don't really need to use anti aliasing among other graphics settings that much because of the higher resolution.

According to Steam's hardware survey 1080P and 1366P are the most coming gaming resolutions for at least 5 years, by a factor of 30 when compared to 1440P or 4K. If that trend holds, and it will, 4K gaming won't be a thing for at least 10 years. So buying a GTX 1080 right now will last for another 5 years, easily.

True, 2K and 4K is for folks that want a whole lot of eye candy and the money to buy the hardware to run said resolution at 60fps and above, But for hardcore gamers they will probably stick with 1080p for forever. A lot of E-League FPS players still use 4:3 aspect-ratio with 1024×768 resolution, As for me and a lot of other folks, Aren't changing their current GPU's any time soon.

Sigh.... Me and pow not talking about which resolution is more popular. We are talking about video cards capabilities to run 1080p max for years.

Comprehend much?

What are you talking about? lol
