Best GPU I can optimize

[FK2tame]

Hello there, I'm looking to complete my build as I already have some part, and only GPU left.

i5-8400

ram 16gb 2400

monitor ed273a 144hz

 

playing game like Dota2, PUBG, some AAA game and also I'm doing picture editing (Lightroom) and few video editing (Premiere Pro)

for gpu I'm thinking between going for 1070 would be sufficient (if I don't want to spend more) or should i go for 1080?(clearly I need to add some)

1070Ti or 1080. Six to one frankly. But give it till at least the 20th for the announcement.

in case you haven't already bought it, I would go with an unlocked i5 so that you can overclock down the road if you need a faster processor without buying a whole other cpu. 

 

to the topic at hand, I would go with a 1070, it seems it would fit well with an i5. if you want the 1080 would also be good, the CPU might bottleneck it in some areas but not so badly. since youre getting 144hz, you would very much benefit from higher framerate. you can watch Linus' latest video on bottlenecking and make a decision as well.

 

You can also wait until NVIDIAs new card lineup, Volta as Pascal is already a couple years old.

Nvidia is looking to sell their pascal stock. Their new cards are rumoured to be rather expencive. 

 

Not worth the 2-3 month wait.

 

1070 or 1070ti is more than Enough for most usecases. U can overclock the latter to 1080 performance

i'm not good at overclocking, and i don't think i will be overclocking as i don't want to mess around with my pc. I already watch the video, and I dont know if the either the cpu or monitor can deliver most optimize result when combined with the gpu.

And will gpu model affect the result? for example like Nvidia GTX1080 Founder Edition vs Asus Strix GTX1080?

Thank you! Maybe can consider 1070ti rather than getting 1080. I'm looking the 3 fan model.
