Have to turn down the AA

i think with patches it will be easier to run ?

Its 2 gen ahead worth of wait though. National Day very fast coming....

$3K budget worth the wait.

For reference purpose i'm getting abt 60-65fps in Witcher 3.. but that's only at beginning stage riding the horse running around.. in crowded battle may be different result.

TS may want to wait for 980TI and also MSI is $939 not $959

ultra, max settings, hairworks, optimised via geforce experience

VSync on:

VSync off:

i prefer locked 60fps, better temps and energy savings.

should be able to maintain 1440p 60 fps with 980 SLI at max settings.

screenshots look bad due to jpeg compression from MSI afterburner.

Nice
Shall check what a single 980 can do when i get home tonight....
