    What are the virtues of getting a 1080 Ti Desktop over buying a PS4 ?


    so i am into gaming and then a couple of years ago i went for a laptop that had an nvidia 840m chip which wasnt so bad since it came with dedicated 4 gigs of ram , but then it started struggling with new titles that 1 year and a half ago i got myself another that has 1050 Ti card which to my surprise had minimal improvement despite being 2 generations ahead , i started investigating then everybody started mentioning that if i just want to keep up with games i have to have either a 1080 Ti or better a 2080 Ti desktop , now those had been around 1.5k $ a year ago and now they are ranging 0.8k to 1.2k $ , through out this whole period my brother had a PS4 that was like 400 $ and it kept him happily playing all titles 1080p for same entire period where he is now considering upgrading to the 4K version which wouldn't cost him a fraction of what i am paying , it now makes me wonder , why do we have to pay so much to get not even close to a PS4 performance ? but surely i am missing something else nvidia wouldn't be pricing just a graphic card at such price mind you the rest of the rig without a virtue i am surely missing somewhere , right ?

    :)

    1080 ti is being recognised as a 960.


    Why would MSI put a card in that they don't even make anymore? Where would they even get it? Certainly not from their assembly line.

    Are you sure you didn't buy an open-box? Someone might have "returned" a 1080 Ti with a 960 in the box, and the staff didn't notice.

    Sounds about right to me. Buy a GTX 1080 Ti, try it. You'll be amazed

    Will this Mobo Support an Nvidia 1080?


    Hi bobkn. Appreciate the reply. Just to let you know, I don't I plan on OCing. IMy PC Parts List is linked below for your reference as to the gaming desktop I want to build.

    Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1080 8GB - Lighter Rig w/ New MSI Mobo - s Saved Part List - PCPartPicker

    Now, I need to know if I could substitute the i5 6500 with an i5 that's lower priced but future proof for gaming. Let me know your suggestion.

    And here's a link to a 27 inch monitor I want to get. Its 8ms, which I hope is good enough for gamimg. I particularly like it because its semi glossy and I love glossy monitors. Let me know what you think or if you have other suggestions on buying another monitor.
