4K is not really possible past 60 FPS with current games on highest settings. And those are what the target group of gamers want, I see that basically every day.
For an example, take the latest Deus Ex: http://www.techspot.com/review/1235-deus-ex-mankind-divided-benchmarks/page4.html http://www.techspot.com/review/1235-deus-ex-mankind-divided-.... It is also a good example for the next statement: The heaviest games don't even get 60 FPS on 1440p, on Ultra the average with a GTX 1080 is 43. 4K is at 24, basically unplayable. Even if you were to use SLI, which is by now pretty much agreed upon to be more a hassle than worth it, it wouldn't be at 60 FPS. And that disregards that 2x1080 are/were 200% the price of a single GTX 1080 Ti, and won't be close to getting 200% the performance.
You can see that as you want, but I can pretty much guarantee that gamers, at least the segment of gamers that would even consider investing hat much into a gpu, will absolutely sprint to get a GTX 1080 Ti, if the performance increase is real. They need it for VR + 4K, or at the very least believe so.
- gknoy 10y agoAs someone who plays things at 4k on my 1070 at home, let me add that things still look freaking amazing at 4k, even without Ultra settings. You can usually turn off antialiasing (sweet), and there are some effects that you probably might not notice (or care about) compared to speed. The best part is, in two years (or four) when you buy a better card, all the titles that are currently new will tend to look about as good as 2-year-old titles look now. ;)
