Upgrade from GTX 970

[fastwunz]

ive got a 2700k cpu and 16gb DDR3 so want to avoid a bottle neck at 1080p. Also want something that will last me another year or two before a full rig update as my system is still plenty powerful enough to run most things on high - want a bit more future proofing though as the 3.5gig vram is struggling at times

What’s best? 1070ti?

Second hand 980ti.

 

[elrasho]

For propper futire proofing at 1080p id say get.a 1080

1070ti for me. I have a 1070 and can't find anything worth upgrading to for 1440p right now.

Why not take advantage of the current Vega 56 / 64 prices?

or 1070ti / 1080 depending on price.

There is a GTX 2060 coming soon.

I moved from a GTX 970 to a GTX 1070 paired with my 2600k @4.8GHz and it'll play Battlefield V at anything between 90-100fps.

If you can get one cheap enough get one of those, failing that spend a bit more and get a 70TI or 1080 but they're overkill for 1080p

I've gone for one of the Vega 56's to replace my 970 - although I'm also investing in a freesync monitor which was another reason for going AMD as opposed to Nvidia!

^ This.

Right now I'd go with a Vega56 and higher resolution freesync monitor.

 

[fastwunz]

I’ll be honest - I hadn’t considered Vega 56

Same here, I bought a freesync monitor and replaced my 970s with a Vega 64. I'm done with nvidia.

Hey guys - just resurecting this thread - will make the upgrade from my 970 when I get paid at the end of this month.

So, 1080p, i7 2700k, 16GB ram and 144HZ Samsung monitor.

Still vega 56 thats best?

yes v56 sapphire pulse at £300 with 3 games

hit the auto undervolt option in Radeon settings and it's good to go, 1070 ti perf or 64/1080+ if you oc
