I currently have an i5-3570 @ 3.4GHz and a GTX 750Ti. Im wanting to upgrade to an MSI GTX 980Ti 6GB OC soon and wondering if my CPU may be powerful enough to support the card. If it helps with answering this question or if you could possibly recommend a better card, I'm not interested in running games at more than 1080p. Main game I'm using it for is GTA V Single monitor, 60Hz, 1080p

Hey,

The 3570 will not bottleneck the 980 ti, but for 1080p the 980 ti is generally considered overkill.
A more suited card for 1080p would be something like a gtx 970.
That being said, on games like GTA V, you will see benefits with the 980 ti, you will be able to pretty much completely max it out with AA.

Ive seen so many reviews saying that turning on MSAA in GTA V kills the framerate because its so demanding so im gonna keep that to like 2x or 4x. But ill still go for the 980ti even though i only want 1080p, you never know. I might get a 1440p monitor in the future.

If they really sell the 1070 for under $450 thats pretty insane considering its specs
