Which 1070?

Hi guys.

I'm looking at picking up a 1070 to replace my 970 for casual sub 4K gaming.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-32d-ms.html

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/evga...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-30k-ea.html

Won't be overclocking until it's starting to show age at factory settings and I'm not that much of a gamer these days. Mainly for Sniper Elite V4, Factorio and World of Warships.

Any suggestions?
(I'd like to keep the costs below £450 and I like the idea of Hybrids for noise control but open to suggestions.)

Edit
Is it worth spending the extra £100 on a standard 1080?

Check, didn't think of looking at good deals on 1080's :)

Purchased, at least I won't have to upgrade for a while.

Cheers Daaveee.

Oh sweet.
Deal keeps getting better :) - Many thanks!

I have no interest in Destiny but the E-mail I got from OC states:

To redeem this code

- Install GeForce Experience software on the PC that also has qualifying GPU installed.

It limits the buyer range but shouldn't have too much issue moving it forward. :)

I don't see it mentioned on the OCuk page, but that GPU also qualifies for £43 cashback from MSI.


https://msi-promotions.com/gb/en/pages/springcashback/qualifying


"GeForce GTX 1080 ARMOR 8G OC £43.00 14/04/2017 – 30/06/2017"



You could also sell the Destiny 2 copy, reducing the card cost down to £421 (if you sell Destiny 2 for £35). Pretty good deal.

Good luck to anyone who submits their cashback claim. It took us RX480 buyers 3 months to get our rebate. They were completely disorganised.

I was involved in that Rx 480 rebate mess last time. So poorly organised.

Is there a post somewhere stating that OCuk is not partaking in this rebate due to the travesty of the previous one?

A minimum of 2 months is standard, 30 days to make sure you didn't return the product then 30 days to deliver. three months seems a little excessive.

The way prices are on the 1070 atm why buy it for gaming?? Very close to the 1080 prices :(

Its like approx...this (ish)

GtX1060 £200 - £250
GTX1070 £390 - £470
GTX1080 £440 +

Just approximates but they are way too high atm. Any idea when they will come down? When VEGA hits?
