Upgrade!

[hconverse02]

So this weekend I will be buying some new components for my computer.  I recently got 8gb more of ram and I am planning on upgrading my gpu and monitor.  My build is in my signature, but I have a ryzen 5 1600, stock cooler, b350 motherboard, 16gb of gskill 3000mhz aegis ram, rx 460 4gb, mastercase 5, some bequiet! fans, a 480gb ssd and a 2tb hdd.  I am planning on getting a 1080 and a 165hz 1440p monitor as seen here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q4wNYr.  I made a thread about this a month or so ago, but I was wondering if there is anything I should change in my budget of $1000 (like fit in a 1080ti and a 144hz gsync monitor or something else you could think of ).  Thanks!

EDIT: Also, what should I do with my rx 460 when I end up upgrading?

Just go for a 1070ti. They're cheaper than a 1080 and are about on par with the 1080 in terms of performance. A 144hz gsync monitor would be good.

I'll suggest u to wait fr a month or so....coz Nvidia is releasing their brand spanking new gpus..

Also, there are rumors that the new 1170 will outperform the 1080ti....

So...get ur hands on next gen of gpus..

I'd like to overclock, and I don't think you can overclock a 1070ti that much as they are basically a binned 1070 right? I don't mind spending the extra $100 for the 1080 unless the 1070ti is better in some cases

I think it'll be more than a month I don't really want to wait... I really hope the 11xx series isn't a huge leap in that case.

Binned 1080. The performance gain with a 1080 is only 6% which is hardly worth an extra $100.

Looking at prices, some of the average 1070tis are around $550 and some of the 1080s are around $599   Should I wait for the 11xx series?

Still not really worth for the extra 6%.

Dude.... u'll need to OC that 1070ti to meet the stock performance of a 1080....1080 is worth those extra bucks....at least it has a better resale value

Again, even 50 bucks extra for 6% more performance is worthless. Resale prices are good yes but the performance gain is almost worthless. I am fully aware you need to OC for 1080 stock speeds but the overclock would be minor as hell.

I am planning on heavily overclocking the 1080 if I got that, so I feel like that could be better.  Should I go for this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cqMwZ8 or this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M8Yqf8 instead anyways??

Not at all . They're basically GTX 1080s with 1 SM disabled.

What's your opinion? 1070ti and 1440p 165 hz or max budget and 1080ti with the same monitor? I think the 1080 is out of the equation now

Why to purchase a GPU over it's MSRP???

GTX 1080 are still sold below it's MSRP of $599

I saw an evga black edition 1080 card going around fr $589......

 

Also 1070ti comes with gddr5 memory whereas 1080 comes with a faster gddr5x memory..

What are you trying to aim for? 1440p 165Hz or 4K 60?

 

Also, how long do you want to keep your GPU before upgrading?

If the answer is 3-5 years then the 1080Ti definitely.

I would wait for Computex in 2-3 weeks because Nvidia may very well release some new GPUs because the Pascal architecture is nearly 2 years old.

Yeah I won't buy another one for a long time, probably not till after college (4-6 years)  1440p 165 hz all the way, I linked a monitor in a list above.

Are you able to wait for the GTX 1180? Or do you need a GPU today?

 

The GTX 1180 is rumored to perform like a 1080Ti.

I could, but the 1080ti is $800 now versus a 1180 that may be much more at launch.  I could wait a month, but I'd rather be set for this weekend. I wouldn't be that disappointed in purchasing a $800 card now and having a new one come out at $700 in a month or two.

In that case then go for a 1080Ti and enjoy .

 

Remember to mark as solved if this helped.

Even then the price of a 1080ti will probably fall due to the new cards hitting the market, and a 1080ti is available for $700 from Nvidia.

MSRP isnt important, the performance difference is.

They dont appear to be worse in overclocking. I guess that's because Pascal is already mature and yields are high. They are only cutting away SMs because of marketing strategy, not because of incapable GPUs.

Yeah but at $700 they only come in stock once every blue moon
