EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti — $1,129

Is this the true king of 4K gaming? Well, it’s as close as you can get on a single card. The 1080 Ti, despite coming with a slightly silly spec (11GB of VRAM anyone?) is definitely the card to have if you’re looking to hit that AAA 4K sweet spot. At least until the likes of Vega and Volta drop. On top of that, thanks to its CUDA core architecture, it syncs up exceptionally well with the likes of Adobe’s Creative Suite — most notably Premiere Pro — making short work of all your HDR 4K rendering loads. The only drawback to this build? We wish we had another.
