Actually.... on balance it's a bit odd but your 7850k will be bottlenecking the 1070 pretty hard I'd imagine so yes moving to a 580 you'd lose on the max fps, but switching from a 7850k to a R5 1600 you probably gain on the minimums so all in all may be worth it.
It's still odd... but if you cant keep the 1070 and get the R5 then 'maybe'....
Yeah, I know the 7850k is probably holding the 1070 back in some regard. It still plays everything very very well though, but I mainly want video editing to be better if possible. I only care about average/mode and minimum.
If the 580 can do 1500 easy I will be tempted.

In some regards? The 7850k is weak as hell even compared to a 2011 2500K.

so far seems the Aorus Extreme is only hard with 8+6 Pin, prob explain it having the 1060 cooling solution which has been dropped from the 1060 - never needed it in the first place.
hoping this could be like the Ti were pumping power and Phases into it should get the bigger OC

could be with getting the efficiency process they've been able to get power down and heat but inturn will allow it to overclock like a beast but throws all the gains out the window .
