1070ti

[SafeStrafe]

Is a 1070ti enough for 1080p@144hz gaming, I'm upgrading from a 1060 3gb I'm going to be buying 2nd hand, I have a i7 6700 atm, I only really play esports  game and all battle royals games and sometimes rust, I'm just wondering will the 1070ti be enough and how long will it last

Depends what settings you're willing to drop to. What do you mean by "how long will it last?" That's such a vague question.

How long it lasts is entirely subjective, as video cards don't typically 'wear out' or experience performance degradation. So they will last until you decide they're no longer good enough (unless they die, which is possible but rare).

 

As far as right now, I would say that it's perfectly good for 1080p high fps in esports games.

The games I play all get over 144 on 1080p. But I’m using a 1080 and a cpu that can keep up.

with dropping some settings down to medium/high in some games

 

but let's say for example fortnite can be runned at 240 fps for me at ultra/low post processing

Be more specific.

dude come on i have an rx 580 which is a bit slower than the 1070ti and i can get 144 fps in most games with using high settings instead of ultra

I mean for esports games at 144fps if you're willing to turn settings down to medium I'd say almost indefinitely. Rust it'll probably do, and same with Fortnite. No card will do PUBG though.

So if all you're doing is playing Esports games then yeah... it could last over 5 years. I mean no many esports games launch anyways so you'll probably be playing the same ones from years ago. I mean I doubt we see a new Counterstrike, League of Legends, Fortnite, or Overwatch anytime soon.

RX 580's a lot slower than 1070ti. Like 1070ti is almost 50% faster than RX580. 

[Mick Naughty]

Well you would need to be more specific as there isn’t a FPS scenario in the question. Just hz. So any card can do 144hz even in pubg. 

 

Also didnt list the settings preferred.

thats exactly the point im making if i can get high fps with 580 you certainly can with a 1070ti

Wait to see what the 1160 or 1660 TI or what ever that card is called can do. It might be cheaper and same performance.
