Are there any non-VR games that even push the 1080ti? It seems like you'd need some giant 4k monitor to make it sweat. But also Steam doesn't seem to be releasing a ton of graphics-intensive games. It seems much more cost effective to get away with a lower price and less intensive art requirements and focus on gameplay. And less graphics puts you in a safer place as far as ports to consoles and tablets/mobile (e.g. Stardew Valley). The Vive HD upgrade will push the envelope further, but I don't think VR has great success. (Elite Dangerous in particular gets boring because it's rather easy to make a ton of credits to afford everything)

1080TI can take heavy hits at 2560x1080 even, Battlefield 1 max settings can see 90 FPS at times. 2560x1080 @ 200hz it can't even come close to consistently with high-end games and settings. PUBG? frames are meh. Even with an overclocked card it can be rough sometimes in my experience. Personally i'll be upgrading to the next card that trumps the 1080 ti and moving from 2560x1080 200hz (for all but CS, cs is 1280x960 @ 144 on another monitor) and going back to 1080p @ 250hz. ultrawide is god-tier for movies and productivity work, though.

  I just upgraded to 2560x1080 and was wondering if 3440x1440 is worth it. But just the idea of having to push that many pixel made me decide that 1080p is enough. I also have a 200Hz Monitor, but I do not mind if I do not get 200Fps.

  And here I set in front of 1680x1050 with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 playing Rocket League on Minecraft like graphics so the the splitscreen with a friend does not stutter noticeably. :D

  90 vs 200 FPS is meaningless on it's own. If it feels off something else on your rig I'd messed up. Check latency on your keyboard / monitor etc.

I have a 4k monitor with two GTX 1080 in SLI and I usually don't get 60fps if I play on max settings. Annoyed by this I got another monitor at 2560x1440 @ 144hz and I can't max that out either. The games were stuff like rise of tomb raider or witcher 3. I think 1080ti situation is similar.

  I have a gsync 1440p 144hz, running on a 980ti. IMHO, if you can get at least 90 FPS it's a great experience. I don't really see the need for faster frames. Granted, I believe gsync does a lot to make it appear smoother so if you don't have that it may be more important to max the frame rate. I do see it though when I drop to 60 fps, it feels choppy.

    It's still a silly situation to be in, you spend all that money on a fancy monitor and GPU, yet you can't even max out visual fidelity if you want to make full use of them. About GSYNC: Afaik isn't its purpose to eliminate screen tearing without the use of vsync, thus not getting stuck with awkward halfing of fps if the GPU can't keep up?
