Should I upgrade from my 1070 gaming x to a 1080 founders?

[The Third Thomas]

So im running a MSI 1070 gaming x at the moment, but I can get a 1080 founders for 250 euros, which is a pretty good deal. I can also sell my 1070 to get money back, to it would almost be a free upgrade.

 

I'm also planning to upgrade my monitor to 1440p ultrawide, so some extra power would be very helpful.

 

Is the 1080 founders actually a lot stronger than my current card, or does the custom cooler one provide more power?

Not worth the money.

The thing is I can sell my 1070 to get some money back

1080 will have better performance.

You can also probably(easily) sell your 1070 for more than 250, so it'd be a free upgrade pretty much.

In what way? his 1070 can be sold for more than he'd be paying for the 1080. Definitely worth the money, or rather, profit.

free upgrade ? lolll  not even close its more like gtx 1080 price - 250 which is far from free since a gtx 1080 doesnt cost 250$

 

1080 has ~20% better performance than gtx 1070.

 

its an upgrade for sure, but like, not huge,

Well then if that's the case, then there's not a reason not to upgrade lol.

Did you even read the post? he's able to get a 1080 for 250, which is actually less than a used 1070 goes for.

[gbergeron]

Get it then. Nice deal tho.. How much you can get for the 1070 in euro ? like 180 ? im curious

[i_build_nanosuits]

i would do it if it's a direct trade, no money involved...the FE kill the added value of the 1080 IMHO...these cards to me at least are worth the same...
