You could have answered some questions yourself if you took some time to search/read/compare some reviews on the net.

If you mean "for high Hz gaming" simply, then go with a RX 470.

Really, 144Hz on 1080P; and not even the best cards out there can handle it....thou the GTX1080 should come close on 1080P.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/4r38v9/gtx_1080_for_1080p_gaming_is_not_overkill/

It shows how slow the speed increase each gen of GPU has become and how fast the Screen-Technology is evolving.

Next step is 5K...ow wait, no, stupid me, its 8K!

7680×4320 res; run away screaming everyone!

OP: if you want the FPS, you can always lower your details.
And you can console yourself with the fact that NO-ONE out there can play games on max res with max settings, for YEARS to come.

I'm playing high hz on very high to ultra with a 780ti so your statement is a bit off. 1080 is a 1440p 144hz card not more and not less than that.

He's talking 144 minimum. Depending on the title, that's just not going to happen, even at 1920x1080. You could come close with GTX1080 SLI, but then, you inherit the headaches of SLI...

Two Radeon Pro Duo GPU's should be enough for "minimum" 144 FPS at 1080p and even at 1440p. That's might be well over your budget, so I recommend staying at very nice 50-60 FPS with RX 480 or GTX 1060 at 1080p in most demanding games and, in accordance with that, well over 80 FPS in less demanding games.

Is senseless anyway, a smart target for fps is around 100 and high min fps thats not under 80. 144 is utterly senseless - that's just a bragging number nothing more. 1080 SLI isn't needed for 1080p though, simply take one 1080 or even lower card and set everything as low as its needed for the FPS to be that high.

I can game on a gtx 1080 4K with about 60Hz so 1080p 144Hz should be no problem since it has 4 times less pixels than 4K imho

My statement stands, if he wants to fully use his 144Hz ALL AT THE TIME, a GTX1080 won´t do on 1080P.

And senseless?
This is TPU, tech-savvy all the way. Whatever people do with OC´ing and such can also be viewed as "senseless"


If this is what he was asking for, we need to give the correct reply.

"I need minimum 144 fps" = The lowest(average even?) drops in FPS are to 144FPS; on 1080P
A GTX1060 won´t cut that, not even a GTX1080.

Let alone on 2K,4K or 8K

Our Videocards have a looong way to go before we can truly 100% have "Max res settings"

... a smart target for fps is around 100 and high min fps thats not under 80...
I'm perfectly happy as long as my frame rates stay above 30fps most of the time. To me that's "fluent".

High frequency monitor is just to have it "flicker free", which again for me is good enough at 60 Hz.

Anybody seen a movie at a cinema? They show the films at 24fps/48Hz (each frame being shown twice), unless they've switched to digital.

The reason why movies look fine at 24 FPS is because of natural motion blur which, obviously, games do not have. If you looked at a game around there, its choppy..

RPG's are OK at 30 FPS but First Person Shooters, no way could I hadnle that...

I'd like to see that card hit 144 fps in any game at 1080p....

I'm thinking gtx 1080 peeps. And even that won't do it in many titles..

It does hit 144hz, but not all the time and certainly not always on Ultra. I'm speaking about reasonable settings, no fancy hype settings.

My statement stands, if he wants to fully use his 144Hz ALL AT THE TIME, a GTX1080 won´t do on 1080P.
What he wants is still senseless, my point stands as well.

And senseless?

Don't start a general debate just because I said one thing is senseless, and I'm still on that opinion.

If this is what he was asking for, we need to give the correct reply.

"I need minimum 144 fps" = The lowest(average even?) drops in FPS are to 144FPS; on 1080P

That's why I said 2x Titan XP. It was a joke, but only partly as it's true and serious too.

I'm perfectly happy as long as my frame rates stay above 30fps most of the time. To me that's "fluent".

High frequency monitor is just to have it "flicker free", which again for me is good enough at 60 Hz.

What Earthdog said. Also 60 Hz is fluent, yes, but over 100 Hz is way more fluent, you simply see more pictures and can play and react better (to enemies or anything else).

I suppose we'plan agree to disagree...

But, I'm sure the OP is talking about range of titles. So, while in minecraft/counter strike and many older titles you would be right. But the majority wouldnt be close. Reasonable settings to me is Ultra/High and whatever AA that naturally brings. I prefer to have my PC games look better than a console.

No way in hell would I get a 480 for these (albeit unrealistic) goals.

And I wouldn't do get a 480 for 100 fps/hz either.

144hz is a stupid target anyway, as it's inefficient price wise as well as in the use of it (no you can't see the difference between 100 and 144 or 120 and 144), so yes we disagree. I'm sporting a 780 Ti atm and it's a formidable high Hz/high FPS cards in any game atm, I can hit over 100 FPS in any game with very high settings, and that's easily enough for me. And therefore RX 470 and 480 are easily good enough GPUs for 1080p gaming at high Hz/high fps.

That's my opinion.

Stupid target.. agreed.

Just not sure how you define "any" when you say, "I can hit over 100 FPS in 'any' game with highest settings". When the entire internet of reviews on that card disagree. I mean, how many titles in the TPU review hit over 100 FPS? Not many. Add 10% or so for their driver improvements, and that doesn't change a thing. Sorry, I must have missed something.

Stupid target.. agreed.

Just not sure how you define "any" when you say, "I can hit over 100 FPS in 'any' game with highest settings". When the entire internet of reviews on that card disagree. I mean, how many titles in the TPU review hit over 100 FPS? Not many. Add 10% or so for their driver improvements, and that doesn't change a thing. Sorry, I must have missed something.
That's true, I'll correct "highest" to "very high" then. Does it look like console graphics then, as you stated? No, and far from it. Very very far. Not only is the resolution a lot higher in average (consoles range from 720p to 900p to 1080p), also the IQ settings are much higher. Just buy a console and connect it to your monitor (note: not TV), then you can see the differences pretty good. Generally spoken, a RX 470 or 480 is not comparable to a HD 7770 or HD 7850 which is Xbox One and PS4 graphics.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Not even v.high in many(most) titles will a 480 reach 100 fps constant...

Look at tpu's reviews for 1080p on that card. Lowering settings a notch may yield 10- 15 fps... maybe? Depends on how high they are to start. It's a midrange card...not a 100fps+ ultra/v.high 1080p card.

Midrange is just a word. The same card would be semi highend last gen and pc games didn't suddenly increase their requirements over night. However you call it I would be able to achieve high settings with the card, tweaking and figuring out optimal settings for looks and for fps is possible. Worst case I'd settle with 80-100 fps, that's still a awesome experience coupled with a high hz monitor and world's better than console gaming.

Im not gong to split hairs. The results speak for themselves. If you want 80-100 fps constant (now it's 80+.....?) at 1080p with ultra/v.high settings (note im thinking AA, like 4xMSAA since that would be needed to match/be better than a console) a 480 isn't going to do it. No AA, it's worse than a console.

If you look at the msi 480 gaming x review here, an overclocked part mind you, there are THREE titles where it would reach 100 fps. FOUR that would hit 80. One of those was from like 2011 in BF3. Also, that's giving the card another 10% on top of it for driver improvements.

It's just not there man. Unless you want to run without AA and lower settings high on down... but again, it's no better than a console at those settings. Even then many titles still won't hit 80 or 100 fps.

I play game at lowest setting and have minimum 144 fps in bf1, bf4 and league of legends. Why you have to turn the setting to High or Ultra? You want to dominate other player or you just want to see how beautiful the game engine is?
