I'm not paying for an already old and used dogged out card....their worth about 200-250$ now....refurbished one actually rmaed went back redone 300$....I had paid 200$ for my 1060 3gb....just no way...save up even more and buy the more modern card and future proofing...unless a good deal.

It doesn't sound so bad when accounting for bad Australian prices, but what's the used market like for you?

Well maybe...it's a toss up...you should save a few dollars more and that real price could get you a 2070.

[JRzoid]

but the 1070 is a huge jump though for me....Let me know if you have one...I'll give a 235$ for one that's ok.

Australian 2070 is over $700 AUS, so that's probably not happening. And besides, nothing wrong with used hardware. I'm still using PC hardware from 2008

Yeah I got stuff that still works...but I don't like the prices and gouging to have a real 4k card lol...and the 1060 is not a 4k card lol

 

Noooo you can get an evga one for right at 500$ right now....

Price restrictive nature aside I'm pretty sure the ludicrious prices come from a combination of strict tariffs and lack of stock iirc

[JRzoid]

Their hoarding the 1070's...but yeah probably just buy that. that will certainly run 4k a lot better. 

You may luck out and find one that wasn't dogged too bad lol

[JRzoid]

And not Lying that 2600x doesn't bottleneck either. That can run any modern gpu and get enough frames.

The 1070 is an amazing card, it's still future proof because new videogames are not demanding that much power, it's cheap and I play at High-Ultra and 1440p with around 80 fps at worst. You can still play 1080p and get 100 fps at worst so it's an amazing performance. You can't play at 4K right now, and it's something just stupid to lower every single setting in order to achieve 4K, you should buy a RTX 2080Ti and that's definitely a scam. 1440p is the future since (imo) is the best resolution for an everyday usage and 27-32".

But that's just my opinion, the only GPU I would suggest is the GTX 1070TI or the GTX 1080 if the last one is just about 20€ more and that won't happen.

So, the 1070 is still future proof I'd say, no one really knows since there could be a new trend of super settings or a new (non stupid) feature (not like Ray Tracing lol but something like "AI" for face expressions). That's what someone with a GTX 1070 and a 27" 1440p and 144Hz display is telling you, so it's just my experience and my opinion.

 What I said...I should get my 4k Samsung 28" in end of this week...It's the same one UHD Linus Reviewed...said it was a good screen. I'll just have turn everything down and or off...until I get a better card...But yeah taking a gamble on a used screen too......

I only have a 1080p 60hz atm but im getting a 1080p 144hz in the next 2 months I dont think I need 1440p cause I only really game and watch occasional movies and TV shows

[JRzoid]

Well I'm on the LG Ultrawide been using that for some time.

Do you plan on going back to Europe? You can get Vega 56 at that price range, which is a better performer than 1070
