Tips for reaching over 144 FPS?

[Issac]

144 versus 60 fps is a HUGE difference in my eyes, mainly because I play competitive FPS games so I tend to notice even tiny flickers and details much faster. It's not for bragging rights, I just want to see if I will need to SLI and purchase another 980 to hit 144 fps.

I would. And while you're at it, get two 980 blocks from koolance and their CPU block. Get a nice rad, at least 3x120mm, and watercool that sweet rig. OC dem 980's and you'll break 200. :P
