1070 vs 1080 what to buy ????

[BabyAstro]

So i just Decided to upgrade to one of the two New Graphic Cards Which should i get and does any one have either?? If u do have either  are settings at ultra and wat are ur frames like plz guys would like as much help as possible....

 

Fyi i realize 1080 is better just wondering is it worth the extra 200$$ cause 1070 is 449 1080 is 669 or something like that hmu with ur Opinions

[BabyAstro]

thanks for feed back

If you have money get 1080!

[Leap]

I'd say buy a 1080 if you can. Also upgrade your cpu if you want to get a lot better frames.

nah, keep it

skylake is faster for only 20%, maybe you will have 5 more fps. But it's not worth buying a new cpu

1070>1080 for arma dollar per fps for sure, if you plan on playing any other games in 1440P+ then get the 1080

1070>1080 ----> Not going to happen

It is not worth it if are going to play on 1080p. Arma is CPU based. Get the 1070 if you want to save money or even the 1060 would be a tip-top choice. Save that extra money for a better CPU.

Common man, better cpu? Not worth it. But GPU, probably he has an old one and now he can get 1080. So why not get 1080 if you can

[Hypo]

Because its complete overkill.

Buy what suits you.

If you trying to pull more frames on Arma 3, then it's purely a matter of what cpu you have since it's a cpu intensive game. Since you have a 4770k you should be getting nice frames. Since I'm assuming you are playing other games, then grab the 1070 as it's price/performance ratio is unbeatable. That card will easily pull 60+ frames on 1080p. With the $200 you save, you can always put that towards adding in another 1070 later on if you need to pull more frames.

1070

[Reavantos]

if you playing at 1080p the 1070 is overkill (its better than a 980 ti) and will do well even at 1440p 1080 is great and future proof. but that also comes at a higher pricetag

 

and yes arma is as much cpu focused as gpu. But, a i7 is still overkill for most gaming applications. a 4690k i5 would be more than enough. ( i have a 2600k 780ti system that does just as well in a3 on asylum as my main with a 4690k and a 970 GTX SSC)

I have the 1070 with the i5 6700k, i have some setting on ultra but not everything, i get 70-90 outside towns, and like 45, 55 in towns and 60 65 @cartels, if i could go back i wish i would have gotten the 1080, so now im going to have to run duel 1070 sli, to get what i want.

[Nex]

Get the 1080, i'm sure you play more games than Arma. And although arma is cpu intensive, there is still plenty of reasons for a good gpu. If you are considering the 1080 then you have enough, it would only benefit you most.

no non onono nononono;nonononono I was going to tell you to upgrade to an i7 4790k or something around there you are fine. @me next time so i reply quicker

[...]

I got a 1080 and a i5 4690k OC to 4.6ghz, but I am being held back by my processor. I dont recommend a 1080 unless you got a i7.

[BabyAstro]

Well I have made my choice im getting 1070 and a 4k mointor next week 

[Keneith]

I got the 1070 and I double my frames personally and I play on ultra now

[Miles]

1080 of course
