Replace R9 Nano (GTX1070?)

[Benny144]

Is it worth replacing my R9 nano with a GTX1070? They're quite affordable right now.
And if so, what do i do with my old nano? Stick it on an online auction site?

If that was me I'd want to go for a 1080 rather than a 1070, the performance boost wouldn't be enough (Around 10-15% I think).

Wouldn't do it, though it might be better to sell the Nano sooner rather than later.

1070 is slightly faster probably more so when OC but i doubt you would notice it in games tbh.
1080 would be the only noticeable upgrade.

Ain't worth 2 months before the release of the Vega chips. Hold to it.
Is yours aircooled or watercooled? Have you upgraded to UEFI 1.07 bios that came out last April (2016) which allows better perf and more OC on the Nano?

The schedule was always for H1 2017.

Rumour is 5th of May alongside Prey, but who knows.

yeah, it just feels like they announced/hyped it a year ago. crazy thing is i'll probably end up going the nvidia route anyway...
