1070 to 1080ti or 2080s

[Valid_Hensel]

I have a 1070 and a I7 9700k im wondering of i should use all my money on a 2080 super or buy a 1080ti and use some money on something else(better cooler/ watercooling loop or smtn)

EDIT 1:

i have a 1440p 155hz monitor on Its way in shipping right now

 

and i will be buying the 1080ti for around 500$ used

Just wait for the "big navi" GPU at some point, or pick up a cheap used 2080 super when the 30 series is announced in a long while.

Just turn down a few graphics settings and your 1070 should be fine.

I know i dont need to but i want to buy a new one so my gf can have my 1070. Because of this i am going to upgrade but is the 2080s and ray tracing worth it

Answering to your edit

 

i am not building a whole new system just the gpu

 

 1440p 144hz

 

the most demanding game is probably bf5 but I will be doing some video and photo editing 4K footage for school

I don't think ray tracing is worth it

 

You can also just get a $400 RX 5700 XT and be fine at that resolution, I do all my gaming at 4k on an RX 5700.  The nitro+ is a nice card.

 

The 2070 super is also decently priced right now, it's like 10% faster than the 5700 XT, it's basically a 1080ti.

 

For 21:9 1440p 144hz you might want the 2080 super, but 16:9 is naturally a bit easier to run on a lower end card.

[Valid_Hensel]

Yeah that makes sense, I can actually get 1080 it’s for cheaper than 2070 supers here rn

 

and I will not be going and because shadowplay and other Nvidia features are major to me

 

well thanks for the help but I think I will se how much I get when my paycheck comes in in half a month and see if there are any deals on any 2080 supers, if not I’ll just get a 1080 ti

 

sound good?

AMD has more features than nvidia atm actually...

 

but I'd just wait given your current card, it can run 1440p just fine at like medium settings depending on the game for 100+fps.

Well the ones that are important to me are not there

Which ones are those? They have ReLive which has all the functionalist of shadowplay with some extra stuff I think.

Eh, in my experience Shadowplay is vastly better than ReLive. Less buggy, higher quality, and you can set actually logical keybinds. 

 

1080 Ti is a stellar card (going used, it's much better bang for the buck than the 2080S as well, unless you need RT/the NVENC encoder), though the 1070 should be able to push 1440p pretty well still. I'd defo wait till you get the monitor and test it out before you decide for sure if you want an upgrade or not.

I recommend seeing how you perform on the monitor before upgrading.

 

I would also recommend overclocking the 1070 to squeeze out some more performance.

 

I wouldn't recommend anything less than a 2080S though for what you are targeting, if you do decide to upgrade.

I agree, im not swithing to AMD

 

What i am looking for is a future proof rig here as well, because i am moving out in half a year and will have no money for new upgrades so i want something that will last for a few years

thats why im thinking of the 2080s because it has that little bit extra to last me a bit longer

 

but the 1080ti coming in a few hundred dollars cheaper and probably letting me get a new 1TB m.2 ssd and some other stuff for the same price as the 2080s
