Which one 1070 vs 1070ti vs 1080

Hello, i recently got back into gaming and i wanna play all the new ones that are coming and those that i missed the past 2-3 years. My set up is:

i7 6950x at 4ghz (all cores)
Asrock x99 taichi
GTX 760

16gb ram 2133mhz (4x4)
Samsung 850 pro 256gb

Dell S2440L 1080p monitor

 

I am considering upgrading now, before any new 11 series or w/e they gonna be called, cause i feel like there is a new wave of bitcoin madness coming again. In my country right now the price for the 3 gpus i mentioned in the title are:

MSI GTX1070 8GB Armor OC is at 438€

MSI GTX1070ti 8GB Armor is at 476€
MSI GTX1080 8GB Armor OC is at 508€
 

For 1080p anything above is an overkill but i may upgrade (2k or 4k) or go for dual monitor (haven't decide yet). Is it worth to go from 438€ to +40€ for a ti or make a bigger jump to +70€ and get a 1080.

Resolution and ultra settings aren't my bigger concern but the sweet 60fps.

If you want to hit 60fps at 1080p and 1440p, with ultra settings (with the 1070 in same games you may need to turn some graphic settings down to achieve 60fps at 1440p) on the current latest games, all of these cards will do it. However if you want to be playing games that are released in 2 years from now at 1440p 60fps then go with the 1070Ti or 1080. In new games that are released next year or in two years, the 1070Ti may require you to turn some graphic settings down to reach 1440p 60fps though. If you want futureproofing, go with the 1080.
