Hi just wondering if a 1070 would be overkill for this system , im running three screens 5816 x 1080
and dont have plans to change that , mostly play race sims , but recently getting into the hunter cotw
and have to run that on 1 . If an rx480 would do the job it would suit my pocket better. currently have an ageing r9 280 and would like some more frames .

i5-4690K 3.50GHz (Devil's Canyon)
Gigabyte Z97X-SLI Intel Z97
TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz
MSI Radeon R9 280 Gaming 3072MB

Cheers Nozz
 
Thanks the Asus rx480 4gb from oc looks a deal at £150 , realy not sure about the extra £200 for the 1070

Ive managed to only ever spend £150 on a gpu ever since the voodo 1
 
Thanks for your time , you read me well ..i can afford the 1070 but its hard to justify to myself ,
ive very much enjoyed the bang for buck ( assume the rx480 is at £150? ) price point cards over the years and never been disapointed .
would the 8gig vram help if any over the 4gig do you think at my res .
