Posted March 21, 2017 Is the 1080 a bit over kill for gaming in 1080 resolution? From what little research I have done it looks like a 1070 can pretty much handle everything in 1080 and get 100+ frames in most aaa titles at max graphics?

Posted March 21, 2017 For a 1080 get a 1440p 144Hz monitor. For 1070 get a 1440p60hz or 1080p 144Hz.

Posted March 21, 2017 I'm rocking a 1070 myself, on a 1080p 144hz monitor. I think the GTX 1080 is overkill for 1080p, but there are some AAA titles the GTX 1080 can't even run 144 FPS on ultra. Take my 1070 as an example, I can run constant 144 FPS in Doom Ultra, but Witcher 3 maxed out gives me about 90 FPS average. Seen dips down to low 70s in Witcher 3, so demanding title Main: 1650 v2 @ 4,6GHz - X79 Deluxe - GTX 1080 @ 2000MHz - 24GB DDR3 @ 2400MHz / CL10 Side: i7-4790K @ 4,5GHz - Maximus 7 Hero - GTX 1070 @ 2114MHz - 16GB DDR3 @ 2666MHz / CL12 HWBOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for not clarifying earlier. Few games might actually not get 144hz on 1080p with the 1070, so if you can afford the 1080 you might want to get it.

Posted March 21, 2017 get the fastest GPU you can afford. If thats the 1080 get that. Remember that 100 fps in todays games will NOT be 100 fps in next years games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 21, 2017 Lots of benchmarks out there for you to check out, just do a quick google search. personally, I use a 1070 with an i5 4690k for 1440p @ 165hz and I find it is adequate. My favorite games are running from 80 to 100 FPS (Doom, BF1, and Paragon). An i5 with 1070 could crush 1080p 144hz! But an i7 is definitely a better match for the 1070 at high FPS. i7 4790k @4.7 | GTX 1070 Strix | Z97 Sabertooth | 32GB DDR3 2400 mhz | Intel 750 SSD | Define R5 | Corsair K70 | Steel Series Rival | XB271, 1440p, IPS, 165hz | 5.1 SurroundPC Build Desk Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 21, 2017 Depends on what games you want to play, and at which settings. On 11/12/2016 at 10:31 PM, Delicieuxz said: Here's a master-list of games that a stock GTX 1070 doesn't get 60 FPS in, or doesn't get a constant 60 FPS in, at 1080p with settings maxed. So far mentioned are: Witcher 3 Blood on Wine DLC Black Desert Online TERA GTA IV GTA V Watch Dogs 2 Rise of the Tomb Raider Crysis 3 Assassin's Creed Black Flag Assassin's Creed Unity Assassin's Creed Syndicate Ark: Survival Evolved Ashes of the Singularity Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Mafia 3 Dishonored 2 You own the software that you purchase - Understanding software licenses and EULAs "We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the american public believes is false" - William Casey, CIA Director 1981-1987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
