GPU Upgrade but what? 1070? 1070Ti? 1080? 1080Ti?

Hey Guys,

I have some money for spare right now and im thiking about an upgrade.

Right now i have a GTX 960 4GB in my Computer and im either Gaming on my 1080p TV or on my UHD Monitor.

Ideally i would like to play in Native Resolution on my Monitor. That would already rule out the 1070 and the 1070Ti if I'm correct. But then i also dont want to waste a crapload of money on a 1080Ti or 1080 if it's not necessary.

Then I'm also thinking about the rumors that we might get the Volta/Ampere GTX Cards soon. Should i just scrap my Idea and wait till they're out or go for one of the current generation?

You're between the 1070 Ti and 1080 Ti, don't consider the non-Ti models those come first and aren't as good value really.

 

See the benchmarks and decide for yourself if the investment is worth it:

 

I can say as someone who used a 1080 Ti on 1920x1080p60hz tv for couch gaming it is quite nice run it max out with a dead silent video card due to not breaking a sweat

I disagree with the value thing... I bought a 1080 a week ago for 530 because all the 1070ti's were either out of stock or 500 dollars.

It would highly depend on what you play or plan on playing but by the sound of it, you play new titles.

 

Probably would say the 1080ti if you have enough but the 1070ti would be a pretty good option even at 4k.

The 1080 is all you need.

??? 1070 ti is a horrible value. A 1080 is worth the $50 more for sure.

Thanks!
I think I'll go with the 1080 then.
Just need to figure out which Manufacturer i wanna go with. Any recommendations regarding that?

Very true

 

I never even understood why they made the 1070 TI. The performance is way worse for the price difference.

Regarding this, EVGA do good ones, as for which ones, well, ACX 3.0 aren’t great (I have a acx 3 1070, and they have VRM Overheating issues) , if any ICX 3.0 versions of the 1080 SC or if you want RGB a FTW version. ASUS Strix version is rather cool too, but you pay a premium for the name I guess?

It really depends on your country, it's the same price as a 1070 here.
