Currently Playing DOOM

[silentstorm161]

So i am currently playing doom on my 750ti and its struggling with everything turned down to either low/medium. I feel like i am missing out on graphics. 

I am looking at upgrading to this http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-and-upgrades/graphics-cards/pny-geforce-gtx-1070-graphics-card-10157449-pdt.html

Just wanted to know if its worth and the card is any good.

[grimreeper132]

a 1070 is a very good card, and is much better than a 750ti, don't know what fps jump you'll get, might be a CPU bottleneck (what's your CPU???) but it will be more powerful, so the question is will it be worth the money to you

[TheNeonWhiteOne]

a 1070 is good but what cpu do you have 

[Sakkura]

It's a great card, but kinda overkill for Doom. Also that game runs better on AMD cards, so an RX 580 could be a good way to save money.

It's not the CPU as that is a I7 7700K

All GTX 1070 cards are great and it will improve your gaming performance by a lot. And I mean by a lot.

I was looking at AMD cards but was unsure how they would perform in GTA and other games like doom.

then that won't be a problem at all, get it if you feel you can use the power. but as @Sakkura said it's overkill for DOOM, and you might wanna get a 580 instead unless you play at 4K or 1440 144hz

Nvidia is a little better in GTA V, AMD is noticeably better specifically in Doom.

 

I think an RX 580 or GTX 1060 would be appropriate for games like this, if you're playing at 1080p. 1070 is overkill.

I was looking at maybe going 144hz in the future. Don't want to buy and it lasts a year or something.

that's nothing, my upgrade which I did almost 2 years ago was much bigger

It makes use of the hardware better, but it by no means runs better than any 1070 or 1080 in that game. The 1070, from a technical perspective, is the faster hardware.

ah right, yea the considering we all still think 970s are great cards and 770 are reasonably good still, that won't be an issue for quite a few years with a 1070

The RX 580 does 151FPS in Doom, the GTX 1060 does 126FPS.

GTA V will still be CPU bottlenecked on a 144Hz monitor. It's a console port, so going way above 60FPS just isn't what it's designed for.

The 580 beats the 1060 in Doom, and the Fury X beats the 980 Ti (and matches the 1070). That's what it means when AMD cards do better in that game - it's relative, not absolute.

[silentstorm161]

If i was going for AMD would i not be better waiting for VEGA?

But I was talking in absolutes. Take note that all the 580 reviews are with factory OC models and the 980TI and 1070 are conservatively clocked reference models. A 2ghz boosting 1070 (like a 1070 ftw) will still output higher framerates.

 

And yeah, 1060 is not a great buy at this stage. Never said it was. Anything below the 1070 is AMD turf atm.

If you plan to play more demanding games, and/or at higher than 1080p resolution, then yes.

[silentstorm161]

Okay, think i will stick with it at the moment and wait for the release and make a decision then.

How is it "overkill"?

[grayperview]

For around £450 you can get a rx580 and a freesync monitor that will get you an great gaming experience.

The GTX 1060 and RX 580 can already deliver way above 100FPS at 1080p ultra, so you don't gain much from having a faster card.

Unless you're trying to play above 1080p and 100 FPS.

You don't need more than 150FPS, it's overkill. And I already specified 1080p.
