Congrats on the new gear, Ace!

You should always use the monitor's full resolution for best results. Any new graphic cards should not have performance issues with WOFF. The performance bottleneck is mostly rather CPU speed, as CFS3 can only use a single core. So even if you have a quad-core CPU, only a fast speed of it can improve performance. 3,2 GHz is the lower end of what you should have IMHO.

I can max out my WOFF 2 graphics (using my GTX 980 PC) on a 2560x1440 monitor, but you never said what resolution you monitor is ???
CPU = i9 11900K GPU = RTX 3080 Ti Monitor = ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQX 2160p G-sync

Congratulations CaNy_Ace88! Every review I ever read says that it's a fantastic card and it really shows it's muscles off with high resolution 4K gaming. I am sure you will be very happy with it for many years. I almost bought one to replace my 780 ti, however I have decided to wait for the new Pascal GPUs due out in the second half of this year. I suspect they will be ridiculously expensive, however they look to be a quantum leap in GPU power. I will wait for the reviews and hope they are as good as expected. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/04/nvidia-tesla-p100-pascal-details/

He's got that covered. He's running the fastest single thread processor on the market right now: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.htmlAce, you can also overclock your CPU if you want. What kind of heat sinks are you guys using when you overclock these super fast CPU's. I've got the same CPU but haven't looked into what it takes to overclock it yet (heat management wise).

I want one! Well, in autumn I guess I will be able to update my rig to that point - Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

I too am quite happy with the 6700K - tis a bit slower on CPU single threaded but it's nothing to sneeze at. Coupled with the 980ti and a Gsync monitor - the smoothness really helps. My new specs are listed below - My first PC build only for gaming. Thinking this was my "mid"-life crisis.... I have WOFF settings maxed and am achieving 70-100+fps. What a difference from the 20-40fps I was getting on my old notebook.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. A. Einstein I7-6700k OC 4.4GHZ, 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz; Gigabyte Gaming 7 MB, G1 OC'ed GTX980ti; Three-Acer XB271HU WQHD Gsync 144Mhz; Samsung 950-512GB NVMe SSD; WD 2TB-7200rpm; Cooler Master HAF XB EVO, Nepton 240M cooler, V1000 PS; Windows 10 PRO; VKB GunfighterPro Stick; Thrustmaster TPR Pedals; Saitek Throttle; Dual TM MFD panels; TrackIR 5; Windows 10 v1909

Coupled with the 980ti and a Gsync monitor - the smoothness really helps. The next thing I want is a good gsync monitor I have WOFF settings maxed and am achieving 70-100+fps. I'm hovering around 60 fps consistently without messing with my 980, but I have everything maxed in WOFF. I would definitely like to see how close to you I can get with the 980. I'm rather unfamiliar to when it comes to overclocking, so I need to find out how to do it without doing much damage.

I got fired as the door man at a sperm bank. Apparently it's in poor taste to tell leaving customers "Thanks for coming."

One of my game PC's has a i7 6700K, GTX 980 using a 1920x1080 G-sync monitor and it tops out at about 100 FPS with WOFF maxed and WOFF's 8xAA and nVidia's 8xAF.
As a result, you should have no problems, depending on the G-sync monitor with resolutions up to 2560x1440.
