gpu Gpu opinion

[Kd4lif3]

Hi there. Imm getting paid for babysitting soon and I will finally have enough Money for my gpu. I am gaurenteed enough to buy the strix 1060 however there is a chance I could get enough for the strix 1070. If I do get enough for the 1070 should I spring for that or get the 1060 and buy a noctua cooler or something. I currently have i5 6600k, CM T2, asus z170-a. I am over clocking but I only intend to have a 1080p display. Imm considering an led controller as well if I have the money. SLI is unlikely but is a future consideration. If you look up prices I am buying local (memory express south Edmonton).

Edit: I can't confirm how much I will be paid but it will be over 450 Canadian

Why not an RX 480

Well it will be worth it if you get a 1070 for the long term

Get the 1070. But make sure the PSU can handle it. What's your PSU?

I done my research and the RX480 has good value but I like the higher performance of the 1070.

I can't check at the moment but i know it is a corsair one. It's a 650m or something like that

edit: cs650m from corsair

No I know a 1070 is better, I am saying if you can't get it then you should get 480 over 1060

I'd double check, some old Corsair can not be reliable

green labeled ones are actually ok not best, it's the VS that sucks

cs650m from corsair is good. you should have no problem even pairing a 1080

If I have enough I might but that is questionable, Canadian dollar is crap

Yeah I know, sucks to be in Canada too

I'd save up for 1070. I know a there are quite a lot of games that can not get constant 60fps or even 30fps on max settings at 1080p resolution with a 480 or 1060
