he was talking 1060 in his reply..
 
and yes.. i we look at Battlefield V with all the bells and whistles ,a I5 3570k not OC vs a 8700k the difference is around 20%+ to the 8700k but it is 120fps vs maybe 150fps.. YES on paper it is a lot, but he is well within margin of good 1080p gaming..
 
had i still had a 3570k and someone offered me a cheaper 1080 i would say thankyou, i would have a kick ass gaming rig... 

bullshit...
 
i have a 3570k 4790k and my 8700k, taking a 970GTX which is nearly the same as the 1060, actually faster than a 1060 3GB, the performance increments are small, they are there, but in 1080p it does not matter.
 
a 1080 on a 3570 will make everything run easily... YES you will loose some frames compared to a faster CPU in some games.. but it is still a nice pc.

If you do end up getting tearing anyway, use scan-line sync with Rivatuner. It's vsync without lag.
