I just wanted to your thoughts on GPU upgrade path.... is a high end card (eg 1070/1080/Vega) worth it if you only game AAA games occasionally @1080p? If you were in my shoes would you get a cheaper card and upgrade in probably 3 years or get a high end card and lasted at least 4 years?

A GTX 1070 is my path!

There's no telling how cards will perform in future titles, but usually grabbing a "mid-range" card and upgrading every three years or so is better than grabbing a "high-end" card and upgrading less frequently.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

GTX 1070 is at least Rp 7.000.000

 

Is that even worth it for a 1 year old GPU?

Maxwell can last 3 years for me, yeah i found an used GTX 970 Gaming X for Rp 3.200.000 should i get this? Never mind the 1070, i like it when it compares to 390X

So is the 390X still competitive for GTX 1070?
