Best way to 2-way 1060's, or should I sell one and go with a 1070

[Tuna Terrorist]

I bought a Gigabyte 1060 thinking it would be all the performance I would need, but I can't manage to get 40 fps sometimes in Battlefield 1 in intense firefights, so I need an upgrade. My system is an AMD 8320, 16gb Ram, and a gigabyte 1060 6gb. Should I use another Multi gpu standard or sell the 1060 for a 1070.

1070 by far! A lot of games don't even support SLI, you should only use SLI if you have the highest end cards and still need more power. Do 1060s even have SLI bridge slots?

1060 cant do sli id recommend 1070 or 1080 or wait until prices drop

gtx 1060 doesn't support SLI. get a gtx 1070, but keep in mind that your cpu will bottleneck the 1070 so upgrade that asap.

sell the 1060 get the 1070

buy a 1060 and upgrade your cpu to a intel.

They dont support SLI but there are other ways to do multi GPU, using MDA or LDA explicit. Trying to find some people who have tried either of those

Get a 1070. The 1060 doesn't support sli.

Ok, Just found out that developers need to code for MDA or LDA Explicit, so it looks like ill be buying a 6700k and a 1070.

Why a 6700?

[Apollo Refugio]

I would just upgrade your platform, wait for zen/skylake

That's the cpu i wanna buy and I do heavy Photoshop and will dump thousands of photos into a script for conversion and hyperthreading helps a lot mane.

Oh yeah, zen. maybe it will come out one day. (SKYLAKE IS OUT ALREADY MANE)

It really helps with rendering and shit, just not games. 6600k performs the same in games. Good choice.

meant to put "wait for zen, get skylake" but i was like, "fuck it"

Not true at all.

I beg to differ. Purchased the 6700k instead of 1070. I had maybe a 3-5fps increase in cpu and non-cpu intensive games. Not worth it unless you do things that require heavy cpu usage and more than 4 cores. I also tested it with the 1070 before i returned the 6700k. Same result..

No need to hardcore fanboy over your own cpu  It's a good cpu, don't get me wrong. Good for games and rendering, etc. But, the 6600k is better suited for just games. Same performance, $100 cheaper.

[ARikozuM]

Photoshop only has a few commands that benefit from hyperthreading though...

And what games are these exactly? Did you even compare the minimum framerate where the i7 excels?

 

There's countless benchmarks that showcase that an i7 can present its own benefits over the i5. Yet people regurgitate the same old thing of it being unnecessary.

 

Here's just a few to get us started.

 

Gears of War 4

Fallout 4

Battlefield 1

So now disagreeing with someone because they're wrong is classified as fanboying? Jeez.

 

The i5 6600K simply does not offer the 'same performance' as the i7 6700K.

 

If you were playing at 1080p, you'd be finding the i5 6600K struggling to keep up with the GTX 1070 in more than a few games.

So why can I run all games at 1440p, max settings at 100fps? Dumb shit, lmao. Stop fan boying buddy  It's okay.

The "bottleneck" is more apparent when one component isn't given enough work to do.

The "bottleneck" doesn't exist with the 6600k and 1070.

I agree, but others will say differently due to 1080@144 being unreachable in a few games.

Those people are clearly running like 1gb of ram or some dumb shit like that.
