Hello Guys,
I've been thinking about ditching the wait for Vega and getting a new card for myself. I can afford to have a 1070 but would it worth it?
I game at 1080p 60Hz, and going to do the same for a while. I know that 1060 would be capable enough to run every current game at ultra, but not sure if it would be able to deliver the same for atleast next 2 years. Does getting a 1070 sounds more "future proof"? The price difference is almost of 13-15k!
The other thing I've been thinking is that there are just too many jargans which are only in nascent phase these days. Pushing the hardware for 4K optimisation, VR and DX12 gaming to name a few. The next lineups would definitely be much more powerful than 10 series in multiple areas and so I feel that spending on high end cards just not worth it for now.
Please advise.
Note: I have ruled out RX 580 just because of its high power consumption. I have VS450 PSU (i know its not good) which I am not willing to change right now (as I've bought it new, I'll atleast use it for 2-3 years). I know for sure that it will handle 1060 very easily, and also the 1070. The RX 580 utilizes even more than 1080ti!!
Other specs of my system are in my signature.
