  1. Thanks for replying so quickly folks! I do have a 144hz display. I do have the money to pick up a higher end 2000 series card but I don't want to throw that money down for 10 FPS improvement. Thanks for the insight in Turing architecture and actual core count; I don't remember actually looking at core count on these new cards. Going to do some more reading on that now. Also, a 30-40% improvement in FPS, even as a general estimate, sounds like it is well worth the price of admission. Thanks again for so much good info in such short order!
  2. Greetings! Long time lurker here with what may be stupid questions. I currently have a 1070 rog strix oc which I have running with a GPU clock of 2126 MHz and and memory clock of 8496 MHz. This has been super stable for me with GPU temps hovering around 56-60 degrees. My fan curve is not super aggressive and the system is very quiet despite the overclock. I'm wondering if I can hope to see much improvement if I pick up something like a 2070 super, 2080 super or 2080 Ti. Honestly the only game I play religiously is Escape from Tarkov and I'm getting around 90 FPS at 1440P on that title. Besides that I'm thinking about performance in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440P when that comes out. I realize that a new card would open up the option of RTX but I'm really only concerned with FPS. The reason I'm bothering you fine folks with this is probably just a lack of understanding on my part. I've been perusing the specs on new cards and their core clocks and boost clocks are slower then my current OC. Despite this could I expect any improvement in gameplay owing to the actual architecture of the new cards? Can I expect overall better overclocking or would I be at the mercy of binning? Did I actually win the silicon lottery with this 1070 or is that just a mistaken perception of mine? It may be worth mentioning that I might be able to push my current overclock further; albeit only marginally. Also, I've never seen my CPU go beyond 50% utilization or my RAM beyond 40% playing any game; so I doubt those components are holding me back despite their age. Again sorry if this should be common sense, "New cards are all around better!" territory. I would just like to be sure that I'm not wasting money for a 5-10 FPS improvement. Thanks for your time!
