To preface this, I built this system in SEP 2015 and at the time, I had 3x Asus 24" monitors (VS247H-P) hooked up via an Nvidia Surround configuration (5760x1080p resolution). This setup worked great and the GTX 750Ti handled it no problem. Most of the gaming I did was on my xbox 360 (COD series, Assassins Creed, Farcry, etc).

In MAR 2017, I purchased the Sony 55" 4k TV as a replacement to my monitors - I wanted to go with a 6 display setup, but was getting tired of the bezels and figured a large 4k display would work out better for productivity, and wouldn't require me to use a multi GPU setup.

I'm not a huge gamer like I used to be, but I've been slowly making the shift from console to pc gaming, but my GPU is definitely not up to the task. This past weekend, I got Assassin Creed Origin and both laughed and cried when I could only run it at 720p resolution, with everything set to low - and only after changing my desktop resolution to 1080p. I had a similar problem with Battlefield 1. I'm loving the game, just not the gaming experience.

Since I'm reluctant to invest more money in another console system, I figured I would update the GPU - I've been looking at the GTX 1080 as an upgrade, but I'm a bit confused as to what I can expect from it. From all the reviews I've read, it seems that the 1080 is perfect for 1440p resolution @ 60+ fps, whereas the 1080Ti is just breaking the 4k resolution @ ~60 fps mark of current titles. At $550 from Nvidia directly, this is the most expensive GPU I have every considered purchasing - ie: definitely not gonna buy the 1080Ti.

I guess my main question is - What kind of performance can I reasonably expect with a GTX 1080 with my current pc?
