I just got a 4K monitor, i want to play overwatch in high setting. my budget is below $300

Should give you a decent idea on what to expect, now find the card that gives you the most performance for the least money.

how's 1080 beating Titan ?

wtf?

 

[drklu]

Maybe that is the old titan

That is a GTX Titan X not a Titan X (Pascal)

 

[Koween]

I'd say a used 980ti should be a good bet

going for r9 fury

Gaming, 4k, budget

Pick 2

That was what you call a rhetorical question.

4k and budget

Then your onboard DP should suit you fine.

I play Overwatch at 4K with rig in my sig. Frames are not as high as that benchmark suggests but they are perfect for playing regardless.

Did you even bother to read his post he said 300 dollar budget? To OP 4k and budget dont mix 4k takes serious GPU horsepower to push 4k at high FPS.

I was just commenting on what it takes to run it. Not what he can afford.

The problem is Techspot numbers are from running around in an empty level (no bots even) in a custom game. This is a frequent problem with a lot of benchmark tests in that they are not testing actual usage scenarios which may greatly impact the results, even more so as those may high light different strengths/weaknesses among different GPUs.

In this case that test would not be factoring in the workload of rendering up to 11 other characters on screen and associated effects while in combat, compared to just 1 with minimal effects (just running around). Also for a game in which the resource split by the developers is likely on the relative lower side into the environment map details (eg. compared to say single player Crysis).

Yeah that's why i only use real benchmarking like the results at the H. Furthermore I wasn't confused as to why LOL.

My GTX 1070 does perfectly fine in overwatch at 4k.

For your budget, a used 980ti is the way to go. It's roughly the same performance as a 1070, which is what I use. I just picked up a 4k TV/monitor yesterday and Overwatch happens to be the only game I really play. Running on Epic with ambient occlusion off, DSR @ 100%, and everything else maxed I'm averaging right around 55-60 fps. Haven't tried all the maps though, and I've noticed there can be a roughly 10% difference in framerate across different maps.

I was ready to say no way...but the man is right. The last 4 980TI's that sold were for $300. If you can grab one, that's practically 1060 6GB territory.
