1080 Upgrade, pull the trigger?

thedogowl · July 6, 2017

So it looks like I could probably sell my current 1070 for the roughly the same price as I could buy a 1080, seems like a no brainer. Is there anything I'm missing/need to bear in mind?

My PSU can handle a 1080, I'm running a 4770k w/16gb RAM, so not worried about bottlenecking; and it seems like a logical upgrade, my CPU's not on it's last legs yet or anything so GPU would have been my next upgrade anyway I think, just obviously much sooner than I had anticipated...

Yeah, if you're trying ebay, be ready for a wave of troll low ball offers.

I'm trying to sell my two 1070s on ebay for the same reason to get 1080s. So far I've gotten $850 and below...Keep in mind ebay fees are 10% so you can lose a fair bit of what you get. Yeah, one person offered $530 and I was like...troll?

I think you should be fine. Even if your CPU can't keep up with the 1080 (it probably can't at the high fps range), it should play well though. I would try for $450 and up. My goal is $500 / $1000 for both so $100 goes to ebay, $20 to shipping, and I make around $170 (I got both 1070s used originally)
