I prefer having both though.
That's a question of money then IMO. It always depends on what you are willing to give. But if you HAVE to choose I mean, in design. Idk, I would just make multiple models. But big screen and low resolution is just a bad design choice.
I just bought a 970 and I was also thinking of a 1440p monitor.
But shadows of mordor is the only game I've read in general that people can have problems with a 970. Even GTAV seems fine for what I read most times.
You sure you dont have the shadowplay process/service running right?
Different setups are also a problem.
I heard about people having no problem with SoM or GTAV on ultra and a 970.
You got to benchmark here.
CPU usage, GPU usage, RAM usage, VRAM usage, Fan Speeds, Temperatures, maybe there is something unusual.
If you see that non of your hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM, VRAM) has a problem you might want to check the hard drive. I know it is not usual but in rare cases it can be the problem, maybe it's nor working correctly or something like that.
As for the VRAM thing.... Well, idk. As far as I can tell the problems do not occur for everyone. And for some they only occur for 2 - 3 seconds while the card is just "crossing" from <3,5 to >3,5 GB VRAM. If the game however might always be AROUND this particular usage it might cause more frequent FPS problems.
Still, idk.
Greetings good forum folks,
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to get a 2560x1440 monitor for my trusty GTX970 card, or if i should wait until after (and play TW3 on my old 1920x1200 monitor).
I'm worried if the GTX970 will be playable on 1440p (for me that means at least 30fps) on high/ultra. I don't use AA, and frankly, on a 27" 1440p i would not miss it anyway.
Looking forward to hear some opinions from the knowing amongst you.
SHOULD work, theoretically.
I know it is not THAT demanding of a game, but I played MGSVGZ just recently with everything on "extra high" (that's japanese for "ultra"
) and Framrate unlocked and I was getting a constant 60 FPS with the occasional drop to 59 or 58 FPS (but I really think that was region-based, natural fluctuations IMO if it is just 1 - 2 frames).
While recording with FRAPS I has massive drops down to 15 FPS, but the card was not the problem (GPU usage rarely went over 70%), I think the problem was me recording and playing on the same HDD (A thing I did change now and already tried with other games (MUCH smoother performance. Previously had FPS drops down to 24 FPS on TW1 when recording, now I have constant 55 - 90 FPS, and that game is poorly optimized).
Anyway, not sure about SoM, but I'm soon about to find out.
As for the Skyrim mods, I think there is only SO much you can actually do with a specific setup. Sure there will be a limit when you will get massive drops, there is no way around it. If you REALLY want a 1440p setup and are unsure about the VRAM I'd say wait for the GTX970 with 8GB VRAM. If you are unsure about the general performance, the GTX980 costs about double the price, it just depends on your budget.
I myslef am atm satisfied with my GTX970. I hope to be able to play TW3 on my 1680x1050 screen with on ultra WHILE recording and maybe even be able to enable AAx2 when going down to "high" settings (got to balance and try that out to see what looks better). Also, even if FRAPS will not play along and record on 1680x1050 on ultra, Shadowplay might be a better choice anyway, because with that I can record in 1080p while playing with my native 1050p resolution on my monitor.
Idk, I'd say it depends on your budget. ATM the GTX970 is the 4th most powerful Nvidia Card you can get (There is the Titan X, GTX980, GTX 780 and then I guess comes the GTX970. At least that is the rank I got in my mind).
Shadow of Mordor runs into problems with anything other than Titans.
With Ultra Textures and a high resolution. YES. Definitely. That is almost like TW2s US back in the days.....
It's not like the problem doesn't exist, but it's way overblown.
It is highly depended on your setup (CPU, GPU, RAM, MB, HDD, Colling-Systems, Overclock settings, etc.) like almost everything if you are a PC gamer. That's just the wonder and cure of PC gaming. Millions of individual setups and combinations..... but, unfortunately a million errors and problems with it if you have bad luck and choose the wrong combo.
Whenever one has to build a new PC it means trying and trying and trying until everything works fine. That is just the disadvantage in comparison with consoles. But the advantages are so gorgeous and amazing.....
