1070 or 1070 Ti?

[xDyl]

Confused on which GPU to buy for my new PC.

 

I currently have a 1080p 32" (16:9, don't judge me it was a present) monitor, but I'm hoping that I'll get a S2716DG for my birthday or something. So, to future-proof I want a higher-end GPU.

 

I want to play 1440p at V.H. or so when I get that new monitor, so is the 1070 Ti worth it over the 1070?

 

Alternatively, I could just get a 1050 Ti and upgrade later, but it would be very unbalanced with an 8700K lol.

1070ti is only like 50$ more i would say its worth it

Depends on the cost of each.

Although I'm starting out at 1080p for a while, wouldn't do 1440p for a bit and I play Stardew Valley, G-mod, BeamNG.drive, ETS2, and games like that so IDK lol

The correct answer is Vega 56(Whenever AIB cards launch and it should be MSRP around Black Friday hopefully)

And a 1440p 144hz IPS free-sync display for the same price, instead of having to live with a TN panel

My issue is that Vega is not supported for what I want to do yet, maybe eventually but want to stick with NVIDIA. Thanks for your opinion though.

What do you need it for besides games?

i7 8700k + 1070 Ti for just 1080p60hz gaming?

Some light programming.

Going to be buying a 1440p monitor when I get out of debt for this build haha.

 

Need 8700K for threads, I do VMs sometimes and some programming tasks.

What programming can't use Vega?

Either way I'd go for IPS over Adaptive Sync any day at the same price, I hardly ever even use the free-sync on my display.

You can also get a display with the same panel but worst stand from Pixio for $399*

That's not the reason. That use can't be talked about on this forum.

The 1070ti, is the best option.
