Upgrading to 1080Ti

[Vakas]

I am thinking of stepping my current EVGA 1080 to the 1080Ti founders edition.

I have 3 weeks left to upgrade as there are no other EVGA models currently available is it worth it?

It's about a 30% jump from a 1080 to 1080Ti. If you game in 4K or want everything on ultra on 1440p ultra-wide then yes I think it's worth it. If you have anything below that then stay with what you have.

Sounds like a big jump then... I think the the FTW 3 is being released today so it might be on the Evga site in few days

wouldn't you get more oomph by upgrading cpu and mobo etc ?

Deffo worth it. It will take some time before you get the 1080Ti but something I would certainly do.

for 600 notes your CPU/mobo would be better to upgrade

even a ryzen 1700 would destroy that 9370

looking roughly at the reviews you would gain 20+ frames changing your CPU & would get even more out of that 1080 i recon. it would not benefit every game, but a fair few including battlefield series GTA and others

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Asus Prime X370-Pro AMD X370 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £154.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1700X 3.80GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £368.99
• 1 x Kingston Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-21300C15 2666MHz Dual Channel Kit (HX426C15FBK2/16)= £139.99

Total: £663.97
(includes shipping: £0.00)

...also you could recoup some cash selling your old kit. The CPU/MOBO upgrade is the better option for you IMO.
