Obviously this is an odd question due to lack of benchmarks for the 1070 and the fact it will obviously out perform the 970.
Currently I have a Asus Strix 960, with Pascal I plan to upgrade, maxwell cards have begun to drop prices considerably, currently talking to a guy and I can get a 970 from 175 or 240 (at most, I hope to get him to around 200)
With that in mind, is it worth it to get a 970, or spend the extra money on the 1070 for the power and Vram increase?
I am a casual gamer, due to my work schedule though I love to game at high settings and fps, I currently play at 1080, but would like to upgrade to 1440p (Not 4K any time soon).
