Thanks for the Mega review H

The cards performance is really good ,great for a single card @ 1440p.

My next upgrade will be to a single GPU for the first time in many years .

There was one weird anomaly though - the Doom Vulkan tests. The top 3 GPUs were all capped at 200FPS. Obviously, the GPUs themselves aren't the bottleneck because their specs are a little too different. That's a pretty clean number, and, a number that no monitor (to my knowledge) can or has ever reached. Makes me think that maybe Vulkan has it's own frame limiter. I don't think it'd be PCIe as a bottleneck because Vulkan is supposed to reduce PCIe bandwidth, so 200 sounds kind of small. I don't think it'd be the CPU as a bottleneck because there would likely be maybe a 1 or 2 FPS difference between each model.

You need to follow the tech scene more closely.
Everyone knows Doom is capped at 200fps.
Asus and Zowie are already selling 240hz monitors.

I'm throwing money at my screen right now. (but no, I won't get the FE)

Thing is, I really contemplated sticking to my 1070 considering how things were looking, but since this 1080Ti turned out to have a much better price/performance ratio than I anticipated, the temptation is just too damn big. :O

I'm still on 1440p (still waiting for a worthy monitor to upgrade), so a card like this will likely last 2 years at ultra setting, so there's that too.
