Yo I actually have the 2500k paired with the 1080 ti. Ryzen build is on hold cause there are no damn motherboards. The 2500k severely bottlenecks the card -- my cpu is also OC@4.8ghz.
In Witcher 3 @ 3840 x 1700 i get 45-46 FPS
In Witcher 3 @ 1920 x 1080 I get 70-75 FPS
A modern CPU paired with this card, at least in the benchmarks I have looked at should be hitting 60FPS @4k and over 100 FPS@1080p. Have had this CPU since 2011 -- time for change!

Pretty insane to think I have a deficit of about 30-40% in performance because of the CPU. The mind boggling thought -- and what I am hopeful for -- is that next gen will bring a quantum leap in game logic. PC gaming will benefit so much.

What PSU would you guys recommend for a 1080 Ti? I'm still using my old Corsair 650W from years ago that has seen me through a 970, 980, 980 Ti, and at the moment a 1080.
Damn despite the huge noise, and let's be real, it's not noise because the fan is noisy. It's noise of A LOT OF AIR BEING DISPLACED, the Founders Edition cooler is quite good. I'm very surprised, I always heard bad things about it but:
1) It keeps your case temperatures very low since it throws all the hot air outside
2) It doesn't make that much noise at the 50% cap
3) It's very cool looking
And the noise it makes is very soft, since it's a huge amount of air being pushed outside the case.
It feels POWERFUL
I'm still throwing an Hybrid kit as soon as EVGA makes one

Just a single benchmark, but the fact that the 2nd best pascal card is almost capable of 2x'ing the flagship Maxwell GPU which is only 2 years old is impressive. And with SLI not scaling evenly and scaling varying from game to game, that 16% difference is basically nullified.
The xx80 Volta gpu would probably be a 2x over a Titan XM at this point.

Agreed with all of this.. I laugh when people come up with all kinds of hyperbola about the noise. I was reading one person last night saying he wanted to take it out and smash it, etc.
I preordered the NV30 card back in the day (FX 5800 Ultra). Now that was ear splitting, and much more than just the sound of air moving.

650w is more than enough power as Nvidia recommends a 600w for a single 1080 Ti, but the age might be an issue. The last Corsair PSU I had only lasted ~2 years or so before dying.
For anybody considering SLI, I had an EVGA HB bridge but decided to change to the Nvidia HB bridge. Luckily I have a Microcenter in town, and they had every size available:
I think it looks better than the EVGA bridge:
The thing is the spacing relative to the Nvidia and EVGA bridge are not the same. The EVGA bridge is their 2-slot, while the Nvidia is their 4-slot.

Just submitted payment for my step-up to 1080Ti; waiting for confirmation so I can send my card in. Wish I had chosen a faster shipping option to get the Ti back here but whatever.
I dont know how but I managed to find he EVGA card on Newegg and it says order confirmed. It looks like they ran out of the Nvidia promotional game codes for Wildlands and For Honor... so Newegg comp'd me $59.99. $655 for the new card

You don't understand how CPU limits work. If you can get 70 fps at 1080p, you could get 70 fps at 4K. But you run into the GPU limit. Just check yourself and you'll see that in 4K you have less CPU usage than in 1080p. With everything maxed out, even a Ti can't run all of TW3 at 60fps at 4K.
Buying a new Intel 4-core CPU will be a disappointment, you won't notice a difference in any games outside of benchmarks.

Waste? 1080ti is like the first card that can keep above 100fps even on 1080p with all maxed, add downsampling to that and its under 100fps again... yeah waste!
Only thing where it might be "waste" is 1080p 60hz but even then you can downsample to 4k to have pretty stable 60fps.
I will always hit CPU limit myself since I want at least 144fps, so I put settings down until I hit those good frames.
OC:d 7700k is the best and cant even hit those atm, so its pretty much what someone wants what he should get.
Hopefully next week but since we have not heard pretty much anything at all, who knows. My brother is visiting in mid April and I'm selling him my 980ti so we can do some gaming. If the custom cards are not out by then I'll be pretty bummed out. Wanted that Asus Strix card.
