I need to know what GPU I should get now so I can enjoy CP2k77 to the max graphical quality at 1080p. Obviously the developers can answer this best and that's who this plea for help is primarily directed toward. So if they would give me advice, it will be great. Others are also very welcome, of course.
1060 should do it. Maybe 1070.
Fluid 4k gaming needs a 2080ti and thats beyond most peoples reach. 4K still has software scaling issues.
I suggest getting a 1440p 32" 16:9 monitor. Samsung sells a top notch quality s32d850. Combine that with a 1070 or 1080 and it will be the single best improvement youll make. When you go to 4k years later it wont nearly be as dramatic as what this upgrade would do.
Work productivity, browsing, youtube, videos will be a HELL of a lot better. It is not too large.
The samsung can be had for quite cheap US $340 !! (compared to 34" 21:9). It also has more physical screen area than 21:9. Less GPU power to run - 2560x1440p VS 3440x1440p.
0 scaling issues. It happens to be exactly the same DPI as a 24" @ 1080p. (the defacto software DPI standard).
Ive got money to burn on pc stuff and im not on 4K. I run a 1080ti with that monitor. Show me a better 32" 16:9 1440p and ill buy it.
Also, id advise you to stop with this 'logic' of upgrading GPUs only every 4 years. They age like warm milk. Buy & sell often.
Nothing wrong with 2nd hand, also recoup $ on ebay with the old one when its time to upgrade. You wont spend much more while keeping up with the times
Heres my system, you can see theres no expense spared -

It was also a rare front page featured build of the week as there are no LEDs. Its built for silent performance, not an RGB pride parade.
