GTX 1070, as it's better at DirectX 12, which BF1 uses... 

Posted

Thinking of upgrading my gfx card ready for bf1. Not sure wether it is better to get a 1070 (£400) or the equally performing 980ti? (£360) or even a 980 ~ 16% under [performance overally wise) 980ti for (£270). I want your guys opinion on what to go for, and if it will be worth the premium going for the newer pascal. Power consumption is not an issue as I have 750w and I need over 150fps on 1080p ideally on bf1 to maximise my monitor for which this will power so any other suggestions welcome.

Since the price difference is £40 id go for the 1070

1070. People are going to try to argue that the 980ti when heavily overclocked will get you similar or better performance.... People claim a lot of things. there isn't really any reason to get that over the 1070 nowadays. even a 40 dollar price difference... just get the 1070

I'd go for the 1070 as the price difference is small and you'll have the newest generation which is always good.

If it's only £40 of difference, get the 1070.

 

Also, Jesus Christ, 980Tis are sub-£400 now? I remember when the average 980Ti was £550+ :P

Project White Lightning (My ITX Gaming PC): Core i5-4690K | CRYORIG H5 Ultimate | ASUS Maximus VII Impact | HyperX Savage 2x8GB DDR3 | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB | WD Black 1TB | Sapphire RX 480 8GB NITRO+ OC | Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX | Corsair AX760 | LG 29UM67 | CM Storm Quickfire Ultimate | Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum | HyperX Cloud II | Logitech Z333

Benchmark Results: 3DMark Firestrike: 10,528 | SteamVR VR Ready (avg. quality 7.1) | VRMark 7,004 (VR Ready)

 

Other systems I've built:

Core i3-6100 | CM Hyper 212 EVO | MSI H110M ECO | Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB DDR4  | ADATA SP550 120GB | Seagate 500GB | EVGA ACX 2.0 GTX 1050 Ti | Fractal Design Core 1500 | Corsair CX450M

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

In DX11, may I add.... In DX12 the 1070 is better than the 980 Ti in every instance
