I had been tourtured (even lethally) by my parents before university time (till 2008.7, that's the EEC factory daily of Chinese students). And in university time I'm f**ked by them and received a rubbish laptop. (Dell Inspiron 1427, T6400+9300MGS). I had a awful time trying to play KF1 and swore NOT to suffer from poor GPU performance once and for all.
Now it's 2017.4. I breached their handicaps and managed to purchase my own PC without their dosh at 2014.2 and kept maintaining it. Now it's 4790K @ 4.6Ghz+32G DDR3 1600MHZ+GTX 1050 ti.
(I had purchased a inno3d GTX 780 with great fortune of CNY 3,700 due to the trauma of poor GPU. However, it's no longer with me. R.I.P 2016.1.4 2:00 AM idle)
My platform has quite some good stuff. Besides that DEAD GTX 780 there's another starring component- the Acer XB280HK monitor with Gsync and 4K resolution. (That's 3840*2160 resolution- fourth of 1080P) Note that this monitor does NOT own a high refresh rate. The refresh rate is 60Hz.
Before the death of GTX 780 I could play KF2 at 1080P highest with nvidia flex off, or at 3840*2160 lowest. Now I dare to try the former but not the latter. I tried and the framerate will drop enough to make me feel the lag.
After all, GTX 780 is a 3-year-old history even if kept alive. Now with the 1050ti I play KF2 at 1080P settings high but disables flex and bloom (it'll blur my SCAR sights). I am thinking of throw another fortune to make it on 4K once and for all. And I saw GTX 1080 ti on the shelf, for a price of CNY 4,900.
Now I have enough live money on hand to lay hand on one, and if necessary, require cash for two. My motherboard is Gigabyte Z97x-game plus and it allows a dual SLI. (My platform has left enough PSU wattage and motherboard compatibility for a combo of 2 VGA cards plus 1 PCIE SSD)
Now the question is:
#1 What is the requirement of KF2? (I assume it stupid to ask cause 1050ti runs it at high 1080P) What kind of video quality can I reach in KF2 3840*2160 with 1 GTX 1080 ti?
#2 How much framerate benefit does KF2 acquire from NVIDIA SLI? 100%?(That's the idealized maximum) 50%? or not at all?
#3 I read that KF2 is quad-cored. Does a pair of 1080 tis require so much monocore performance that a 7700K is a must?
