EVGA 1070 vs 1060

[DYGaming]

Hey guys I'll be buying my new comp paired with a U2415 and I was told that 1070s are overkill for 1080p. May I know if I'm streaming/recording (obs) on 1920x1080 on 60 fps, may I know if u would still be able to play on 60 fps? On ultra settings? I don't mind changing to high or even medium. 

 

Note: I'm not willing to downgrade my obs settings to anything lower then 60 or anything lower then 1600x900

 

In my case which graphics card should I get? 

 

Both graphics card will be the EVGA.

Well... Can you afford the 1070? Because if you can, you may as well. If you're looking to save a little cash, an RX 480 will perform as well as the 1060 but more cheaply, and with greater longevity.

Why evga? Why not msi gaming x or asus strix? A 1070 would be more future proof

If you can afford the GTX 1070, go for it. No reason not to.Then again you can get a RX 480/GTX 1060 with a 1440p display for less intensive titles and for future use. It's up to you!

 

Regardless, have you considered using shadow play to record?

The 1070 is a very reliable GPU.

If you can afford it definitely pick it up. If not Go for the RX 480 8GB, it will perform better than a 1060 6GB.

You should be able to reach 60FPS while streaming. If not you can most definitely get it on High to medium settings.
