GPU upgrade

alien_doggy · August 3, 2016

Hi, i am thinking about upgrading my gpu.
But I was thinking maybe that some of my hardware is a buttleneck?

I am thinking to get a 1070, but no idea which one. Any tip?

My build is:

Motherboard : MSI Z87I GAMING AC

GPU : MSI NVIDIA Geforce GTX 780

CPU : Intel Core i7 4770K

Monitor: ASUS VG248

No. Not really. Unless your monitor is a 1080 60hz panel or lower; in that case, you have a pretty hard bottleneck on the form of your display.

The cheapest non blower ones. And the ones you find pretty. Couple the 2 restrictions together and purchase anything that fits; doesn't really matter much with Pascal.

GTX 1070 for 1080p and an i7 won't bottleneck a 1070 or 1080

I like my Gigabyte G1 1070

Your hardware will not bottleneck 3 TITAN X's (in most gaming situations)

No advice as to which one to get other than whatever one looks nicest to you. They all perform pretty much the same with acoustics and visuals being the main difference (IMHO)

In terms of overclocking, pretty much any GTX1070 should be able to reach 2000+ MHz stable boost clocks. It all comes down to your visual preferences and pricetag in your country.
