This GeForce GTX 1080 EVGA FTW ACX 3.0 8GB Edition graphics card, along with a Core i7-4790K 4-Core 4.0GHz can run 788 of the top 1000 PC games released. A gaming PC like this has a Core i7-4790K 4-Core 4.0GHz weak point. If this component was upgraded then the system could play up to 968 games from the 1000 most demanding games of today.

The performance of these hardware components is best displayed in relation to the current most popular game, Resident Evil 8. In summary, we put the 1440p screen resolution as the better choice for the GeForce GTX 1080 EVGA FTW ACX 3.0 8GB Edition here. But if you are looking for strong FPS at the top end of graphics quality then you would be aiming for 1080p Ultra or 1080p High. Here are some Low Vs Ultra frame rates that we think you should consider. 1080p High graphics setting gets 81 FPS and Ultra is 58 FPS. Then moving on to the 1440p FPS with Low setting: 117 FPS, 1440p Medium setting: 92 FPS, 1440p High setting: 62 FPS, 1440p Ultra setting: 44 FPS.

2nd most popular game: Grand Theft Auto VI - In summary, we put the 1440p screen resolution as the better choice for the GeForce GTX 1080 EVGA FTW ACX 3.0 8GB Edition here. But if you are looking for strong FPS at the top end of graphics quality then you would be aiming for 1080p Ultra or 1080p High. Here are some Low Vs Ultra frame rates that we think you should consider. 1080p High graphics setting gets 75 FPS and Ultra is 54 FPS. Then moving on to the 1440p FPS with Low setting: 108 FPS, 1440p Medium setting: 85 FPS, 1440p High setting: 57 FPS, 1440p Ultra setting: 41 FPS.

3rd most popular game: Age of Empires IV - In summary, the performance delivered by this graphics card easily overpowers that needed by Age of Empires IV. We expect to get a very strong frame rate of 76 FPS at 1080p Ultra, but would advise moving up to 1440p Ultra to get 58 frames per second or even 34 FPS at 4K Ultra as the GeForce GTX 1080 EVGA FTW ACX 3.0 8GB Edition can handle this. It just comes down to your preferred resolution then tweak your graphics settings to deliver the desired effects, without a care for performance.
