Hi all,
I have a GIGABYTE 960 4gb OC edition and recently bought a 144hz monitor. I mainly play WoW and Fortnite. I'm also a designer so I use photoshop, ai, etc. I have my settings turned up to 10 and I turned down view distance (7), environment detail (8), and ground clutter (7). I also set shadow quality to high. Running around in Dalaran I get 40-65 FPS and basically same in Orgrimmar. I probably average 70-80 in BGs. That being said, I feel like I'm not utilizing the full potential of my monitor except for when I'm able to see 100+ FPS. Don't get me wrong though moving to it feels way smoother even at 40-60 fps, lol.
Now that the GPU prices are starting to come down I have been looking on craigslist and letgo to see if anyone is upgrading. I found a guy that's selling a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 for $280. He says the card has never been overclocked and in great condition. Would it be worth it to buy this or just wait a little longer and buy new? How low do you guys think the 1070 will get?
TL;DR
I'm looking to upgrade from a gigabyte 960 4gb OC (I only play WoW and Fortnite at 144hz) to a 1070 and found one craigslist for $280. Is it worth it? How low will the 1070 get and should I just wait to buy new.
Thanks for any opinions on this.
