Best buy? 1070 or 480

Solution
If you're planning on gaming at 1080p, the 480 might deserve that you take a look at it.

But if you want to play at 1080p for a longer period of time (i.e. go without upgrading the GPU for longer) or you plan on gaming at anything over 1080p, you can't go wrong with the GTX1070. This time around they don't provide 75% of the VRAM, but they actually provide what they're telling us they do.

It all depends on what you want and the price.
Generally speaking the 1070 is better, but also costs more. If you have the money and want to use it, get that...

Depending on where you live, the prices might not be as good as the MSRP, so shop around and tell us the price of each in your region, that might help determine if one or the other is worth it.

Actually, I don't think he meant that he intends to buy from BestBuy...
Looking at the phrasing, I at least deemed him to just mean which of the two would be a better choice...
 


hahahaha. You're right! Guess I need to pay attention more.. cheers.
