So im wondering if i should upgrade my GPU.
My current pc specs are :
i7 - 4790k @ 4.5 GHz (1.225 Core V.) @ Corsair Hydro Series H100i with 2 NB-eLoop Noiseblocker
Palit Jetstream Geforce GTX 980 , Overclocked : 20% - getting up to 70°c on load and noisy (i can hear it through my case which even got noise insulation mats inside)
Samsumg 850 Pro 128gb
16GB Corsair Vengeance @ 2133 MHz
MSI Z97 Gaming 5
Thermaltake Paris 650w
Asus VG248QE 144hz 1920x1080
Case Fans : 3x nb e-loop & 1x be quiet silent wings 2 for the hopefully good airflow
I want to play all current and upcoming (assuming they are optimized well not like the latest deus ex) on Ultra settings on 1080p @ 60 fps .
No intention in upgrading the next years on 1440p or higher res. 1080p is fine for me (for now). No intention into VR either.
I've read alot reviews and comparisions between the 1070's. From my point of view its either the 1070 gamerock premium or the msi gaming z. But im open for other recommendations.
Keep in mind that i don't mind extra cost (but no cards like the sea hawk with closed loops liquid cooling). Price range is like 450-540€ in germany's stores.
My pc can still run watch dogs 2 on 60 (after the latest patch) / 72 fps with vsync (before the update since i don't need extra fps above 60), For Honor same on ultra with 72 fps.
I feel like the 980 just lacks the additional vram plus some better cooling. I like the card since it lasts me for like 2 years already and i can still play games on decent settings, but i aim for ultra settings (maxed everything, but not necessarily max AA)
thanks in advance
Edit : And yes even if there is no noticeabl difference on high/very high to ultra. I'd still love to take ultra for the swag.
