GTX 1070 / 1070 TI / 1080 for Max Settings 60fps 1440p?

[Roy]

I think 1070 is started to going down with newer AAA games ( cant handle ultra 60fps)....

Which one should i buy?

Aim as high as your budget allows or wait until Nvidia releases the new GPU's

Obviously the gtx 1080 but if you are on a Budget, go for the 1070

At 1440p you will need a 1080 at least for 1440p 60hz these days for the highest settings.

Depends on the game.

One of the things many seem to think is that max means best, but fail to understand individual settings and what they actually do.

For example, there are many games that give you multiple anti aliasing options. You do not need to use them all. Too many people seem to think they need to be running 2 or more aliasing methods maxed out to have the game look good, fail to understand they are actually running the game in 8K or something similarly silly with another intensive AA method or two on top of that, then blame the game or hardware when it doesn't run well.

My advice for all gamers is to learn the settings, rather than crank everything up ignorantly.

Depends on the rest of your rig, what are your full specs?

I7 7700k

If you have the cash I would go with the 1080, games are just getting more demanding.

GTX 1080 Ti.

A ti would be overkill a bit unless they are going for 144hz really.

Depends on the game, lot of them have crap optimization and wont run well even with Ti.

Say it to the modern AAA titles that recommend at least a GTX 1070...

GRW get 1080p ultra settings barely 75fps with a GTX 1080 Ti and its not badly optimized just very demanding graphics in certain areas.


Also a half year ago was a GTX 1060 6GB the norm for 1080p. Now it is a 1070 and the tendency is raising to higher demands as games evolve too.

If you can afford the 1080, why would you consider a 1070?
But tbh any of those GPUs are fine for 1440p
I currently have a 1440p 144hz monitor by Zowie (Main use is for csgo) and I can get 60fps in most games (pubg, far cry 5, bf1, gta) just a slightly LOWER settings like medium/high and I run a R9 280X from 2013 lmao, Any of those cards will be fine, just dont expect 144 fps or something xd

1080 Ti for 60 FPS 1440p is silly. Get a 1070 Ti and OC it to 1080 speeds, it should be good for a long time to come.

Yes I agree.

Am happily using 1070 8GB with a moodest factory overclock (at times) paried with an i7-3770. Bought it las October just before the 1070ti released and I wish that I had waited that extra month or so, however my need was greater than my patience. However GPU prices are high right now from what I know, so you'll be overpaying for what you get, regardless.

This article about GPU pricing trends[pcpartpicker.com] might be a good place to start when deciding. Things like bit coin mining, politics and other factors have inflated the cost.
