I know this will probably pop up a ton, since the new 1000 series cards coming out and all, but I wanted to know the opinions of others. I currently own a ZOTAC gtx 960 2gig AMP! Some of my games that I currently run (Rise of the tomb Raider, Dark souls 3) seem to have trouble running at a stable 60 without lowering the settings a bit, which I don't have a huge gripe with, but (especially in the case for Dark souls 3) I'm unfortunately dealing with lower graphics settings to even the console versions of these games (granted, having the game run at 60 should be enough to beat the consoles any day).
So for awhile now (especially after getting my pell grant refund back), I've been thinking about upgrading to a better card and probably selling off the 960. I'm very interested in the GTX 1070, but I obviously can't make a proper decision until some benchmarks are released. But my question is essentially.. what would be a good option for someone like me?
I'm running on a 1080p display. CPU is an i5-4460, 8 gigs of ddr3, and a 550w PSU. Running windows 8.1 and I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon. I'm also very comfortable at 1080p and have no real reason to upgrade to a better monitor.
So, should I wait for the 1070, or possibly go for a 970, or 980 since they seem to be dropping in price quite a bit? Money is also a concern too, but I'm just conflicted and wanna know what others think.
