Posted March 22, 2018 You shouldn't be upgrading right now anyway; the prices are almost threefold the MSRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 22, 2018 I would wait because Nvidia new line up cards are coming out soon. Then would be worth upgrading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 22, 2018 GTX 970 will suffice at high settings if you do not aim for 60FPS, i can see 30-50FPS being doable on the 970 though?

They are slowly dropping, but they are still nowhere near being purchasable by mere mortals like us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 22, 2018 The only worthwhile upgrade would be at least an GTX 1070, which is indeed to expensive for the amount of performance gain. i7-6850K, ASRock X99 Taichi, 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 3000Mhz CL15, 2x EVGA GTX 1080Ti FTW3 SLI, some SSD's/HDD's, EVGA G2 1300W PSU, quite a few Coldzero Parts ... all inside an Corsair Obsidian 900D - detailled information on my Profil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have enough and want top of the line, Nvidia sent me an email stating that the 1080 and 1080 Ti are in stock on their official store starting tomorrow so check it out if you already had enough saved up, if not just have them notify you after it goes out of stock again so you might get it then. I recently upgraded from a 970 to the 1080 but the real bottleneck was my FX 6300 which I upgraded to the ryzen 7 1700, but honestly the 970 is a solid card. I only recommend buying from Nvidia at this moment, unless you see a preorder on Amazon which should have a "in stock on xx" estimate, I keep putting in requests at work for more cards so people don't conned for some used mining card. Best of luck, if anyone can hook me up with some reasonable ddr4 prices I appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
