specs: gtx 960 | cpu i5-4460 @ 3.2ghz | RAM: 12gb

how much would it cost to upgrade to a gtx 1080

Around $500. Could be lower due to sales but last I checked they are running out.

It depends on the games and what you do with it. You need a GTX 1080 to play Ghost Recon Wildland ultra 1080p 60 fps because the 1070 dips as low as 30s. Yep.

oiltruck just listen to boom boom and tacoshy pc gaming can get very expensive it really can. but if you wanna go bigger save your money then ask these guys what to buy. peace

i have a gtx 1080 and im loving life how much does a gtx 1080 cost? you would have to shop around to get the best deal. what games do you play?

just look into his profil. nothing demanding... and stop giving advices you have no idea about just advicing it because you have it too. Just because most ppl buy an i7-7700K and GTX 1080 as it is advertised it is not the best solution for most of the ppl as they dont have the monitor to actually use it. besides the most expensive stuff isnt always the better stuff. you are way cheaper by buying the parts that get the performance you need at lowest cost and upgrading when you need more performance.

1080p then.

[KushMintz]

and ye my games arent too demanding besides dayz and gta 5

I think I'ma just stick with my 960 for now since it's running smoothe and haven't had any problems with it yet

[tacoshy]

so I assume the ordinary 1080p 60Hz monitor. so just wait for Vega and Volta and until prices drop. No need to upgrade now espacially if you dont have the budget for it.

[KushMintz]

How much is the vega and volta being released at?

Sure, just wait for next gen gpus and see what they have to offer.

[tacoshy]

nobody know yet as they are not released yet. you dont even know yet exactly how well they will perform. but there rumors that Volta can be even 30% stronger then the Titan X chip of the 1080 Ti.

nonetheless the real important factor is, that most of the consumers think that they actaully need the newer stuff right away and nobody want the pascal stuff anymore. so prices will drop drastically espacially for the high end variant of the pascal chip (1070, 1080).

Would you advice somebody who needs a car to get all his grocery from a store 1 mile away to buy a Ferrari because it is faster or a Truck because you could load tons of grocery in it?

The thing is not about that 1080 is powerful, the thing is that it is power and therefor cost that he never needs . At the time he actually need it we'll have hardware that is cheaper.

The difference is that good system builders will not take the most powerful stuff but the cheapest that get the job done and allow cheapest upgrading.


And yes you did advice to listen to others as I already was writing it.
No offense we have a lot of good specialist here to help at professional level so that we like to give such advises. We are not an advertising community that try to sell the most expensive stuff.
