Now I have a serious follow up question... you got that 4k high refresh rate monitor you showed a few posts back which costs north of $1k, but you're using a gtx 980 and a 5960k cpu?

My question is... why? o.0

Did you just randomly win it on some game show? I was assuming you'd have a high end pc to go with it, so what am I missing something here?

I won as a prize at my work. Been waiting for a chance to utilise fully lol. I did have in mind to upgrade my  pc and wanted to make a jump from 980 to rtx titan card. So far those cards are not available to buy in nz lol. My pc was high end at one stage 🤣. In fact people at vgchartz helped me build my current pc with their advice :). 

:O

ok, i thought i was kind of joking about getting it as a prize but apparently that was the case indeed. yeah those monitors are extremely expensive, so you definitely need to invest some serious cash to make use of them. turns out even the games shown will not be aiming at 4k, 120Hz and ray tracing... assassins creed isn't even 4k 60 now

btw friendly advice, don't buy titan cards for gaming, that's not what they are for. wait for ampere if you're deadset on staying nvidia and wait for the 3080 or 3080 ti if you really want to go all in
