Posted June 25, 2016 So I am finally upgrading, I already have some parts on the way, namely an i7 6700k, Asus z170 Deluxe and 32gb Kindston Predator ddr4. BUT! I will be using a BenQ XR3501 - res: 2560x1080, 144Hz and I cannot decide on a graphics card... I was thinking about buying two 980tis since they dropped in price.. two 1070s are slightly cheaper, less cuda cores, but i will be only gaming, But im not sure how futureproof are these solutions So the 3rd option is to buy one 1080... Question is: Will it last for atleast 3 years? I do not plan to upgrade in the next 3 years. But games are more and more demanding each year What do you think is the better option?

Posted June 25, 2016 Honestly, the 1080 is a more future proof card, but since your monitor is a 21:9 1080p monitor, even something lower than a 1070 would push it to the max at max 1080p settings. If you plan on upgrading your monitor to a 4k then a 1080 would be perfect, 2k - 1070, 1080p - the upcoming rx480 will probably smash 1080p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 25, 2016 I think you should go with the 1080 because some games don't work well with SLI and the 1080 is more than enough for 1440p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
