1060 Vs 1070ti

[LucasGranato]

Hi my current card a GTX 760 has just died and im thinking of buying a MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Armor 8GB to replace it but im concerned that it might bottleneck.

The MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Armor 8GB where i live is 500€ the 1060 is 340€ and my max buget is 500€.

My reasoning to get a 1070ti ( even if i only play in 1080p ) is mainly longevity but i woulb be ok with a 1060.

I really prefer having the 1070ti that would last me longer, the only reson for me to go for the 1060 is if the 1070ti would bottleneck to the point where its a problem.

I just want opinions on what should i do.

I think you will be good man! The CPU is still quite good and will probably work well with the GTX 1070ti. Sure, it might bottleneck a tiny bit in some games but you will be fine I think. If it would bother you then try to set a limit for the fps, maybe at 160 fps and it should be fixed! 

 

Have a great day!

What is up with people fearing bottleneck like it would break your computer ? You would just get a little less out of the cards full potensial, but still more than with the other card.

 

Also your cpu is perfectly reasonable for a 1070ti, no worries!

As far as I'm aware you'll be completely fine, you have a very capable system.
