If you can afford it, go for the Strix 1080.

Yep, IMO it is worth it, the 1080 is 25% better than the 1070 ;)

Depends on what you play at 1080p.  If you can get above 60fps on everything you play with a 1070, then you can save 110 quid.

The 1080 can also be seen as being more future proof then the 1070.

you'll be crushing max settings on everything for a while, if you're planning on upgrading your monitor anytime soon then it could push harder than the 1070. If you aren't planning on that then you'll be fine with the 1070, it'll be around 60 fps in the most demanding AAA games and higher in less demanding ones

"So because they didn't give you the results you want, they're biased? You realize that makes you biased, right?" - @App4that

"Brand loyalty/fanboyism is stupid." - Unknown person on these forums

"Assuming kills" - @Moondrelor

"That's not to say that Nvidia is always better, or that AMD isn't worth owning. But the fact remains that this forum is AMD biased." - @App4that

"I'd imagine there's exceptions to this trend - but just going on mine and my acquaintances' purchase history, we've found that budget cards often require you to turn off certain features to get slick performance, even though those technologies are previous gen and should be having a negligible impact" - ace42

I messed up :/ . 

 

I ordered the 1070 and then cancelled hoping to be able to buy the 1080 and it still come tomorrow. I didnt know the money can take 48 hours to go back into the bank so now i have ended up with no card for a few more days xD

 

Thanks everyone for the help!

A friend of mine is selling a Evga gtx 1080 sc, I think he only wants £400, do you want me to ask if that's his final price for you and maybe you can grab a bargain :D.
