Do I upgrade my 960 to a 980ti or a 1070?

[JordRidesBikes]

I've recently been building my new rig, the only part left to upgrade other than the monitor is my GPU. The 960 is still okay for 1080p 60hz but I'm looking at a 1440p 60hz panel as an upgrade. The 980ti is currently around £280-£320 and the cheapest new 1070 is £380. Is it worth the extra £100, or should I take a 980ti and save some money?

 

 

UPDATE: I got an MSI 980ti for £290, was definitely the better choice with the whole cryptocurrency debacle right now. Thanks!

If you want to save money yes, take the 980 ti.

They performs very similar, tho the 1070 is first, but if you overclocked the 980 ti, you can reach and even beat 1070 oc'd...

So stock 1070 is better but for 30% cheaper you probably want to save the money

980 ti is a way better deal.

Yeah, seeing as that saved money could help towards a new monitor, would probably be the best bet to go for a 980ti. Thanks

Get the 980ti it's roughly the same as the 1070 and cost less. It would be getting the same performance only cheaper.

Unless you play games that need more than 6gb vram of the 980ti go fot the 980ti
