Upgrade from a 1070

Zat0ichi · July 4, 2019

I got a 1070 18mnths ago.

Asus are doing the part exchange thing and their dual fan basic 2070 is coming in at £490.

With £210 off that's not bad.

My 1070 was part funded by a 970 etc etc

I have recently upgraded my monitor to 1440p so 4k is A LONG way away for me.

But AMD and stuff.

Selling my 1070 on fleabay is going to be hassle and I won't get much more for it (boxed as new, even still have the I/o plugs)

60-75fps 1440p is my target with everything that matters maxxed. Cyberpunk is my target game.

The 1070 is going to devalue 2nd hand quite steeply soon so I need to make a play.

Any thoughts?

sell it and buy a used 1080ti with the money?

Thats what i would do anyways.

Good luck!

I wouldn't worry too much about 3 y/o tech, especially since it's becomin obsolete quite rapidly w/the far more demandin games that're bein released. My GTX 1070 TI isn't doin what it once was or what it was made for in 1440p as much anymore and some YouTube reviewers are considerin it to be intermediate/low-end now due to this fact. I would wait to see what the Super cards have to offer, along w/the new AMD cards once benchmarks and comparisons're released to make an informed, final decision.
