Hi guys

I want to buy a new GPU for my Ryzen 5 1600 system.

I've found a deal for a GTX 1070 ROG Strix at 200 Euros, a 1070 Ti Gigabyte Titanium for 250 Euros, and a GTX1080 Gaming X listed at 300 Euros that I might be able to get down to 275.

For someone who saved up ~600 with 300 of that available for his GPU at the most, which one of these would be the best value, considering my R5 1600 and playing at 1080p? I want to be able to use the card for atleast 3 or so years without really considering upgrading.

Sorry for the long story and thanks for your advice

Edit: the 1070Ti is 265 but I will probably be able to find one for 250, and the 1080 is 280 after some negotiating.

Which would be the best dollar/frame?

Edit 2:

I've found a Vega 64 for 300 and a Vega 56 for 175 and a few for 225

I think the Vega 56 is the best option then (correct me i if I'm wrong) 

I have a TX650M with a Ryzen 5 1600 ,2 7200RPM HDDs, one Sata SSD, one DVD RW and 2 case fans with my R5 1600 at 3.8GHz

Will a TX650M be able to handle a Vega 56 with the rest of my system? 

I had a weird issue where it would turn off with my old 7970 but I don't know if that was due to power constraints or if there was something wrong with the card

Is the performance difference big enough to justify the 25% price increase for the 1070ti and the 40% increase for the 1080?

 

I would not count this with %. Its kinda misleading imo. 

 

Anyways, the jump in performance from 1070 to 1070ti is easily worth $50.

The difference in performance of 1070ti vs 1080 is kinda small so it's definitely not worth another $50.

Why would you not count with percentages?

because it makes the price seem more than it actually is.

If something is 1$ and the other is 2$ then that is a 100% difference but its just 1$ more.

 

Dont take me wrong, 50$ can be a lot but it depends on a perspective. If you can afford to spend it, then the 1070ti is definitely good enough upgrade for $50 extra over the GTX 1070.

A 1080 for over 1.5x the price is better than a vega 56? According to Hardware Unboxed's video from april this year, the 1080 is about 15% faster on average than the vega 56 while being a bit more efficient

Are you saying this based on performance or concerns regarding my PSU?
