Hello !
My current setup is:
FX 8120 clocked to 4,5ghz
Radeon 7970
1080p 24 inc monitor with 60hz

So here is the thing I want a new monitor and I want it to be bigger, mainly a 27inch.

So basically it comes down to this:
Option 1: GTX 1070+27 inch monitor in 1080p with 144hz NO G-SYNC
Option 2: R9 Fury+27 inch monitor in 1440p with 144hz WITH FREESYNC

Option 1 gives me a better GPU but the monitor will not be that nice and without G-sync
Option 2 gives me an awesome monitor but a GPU that is not that powerfull

Any kind of help is appreciated, thanks!

if you want the 1070 you would need to upgrade your setup to an intel one, huge bottleneck otherwise


your processor is not good enough for a fury either, but going to 1440p would help a bit

it's not going to be a smooth experience though

I know that, and I'm thinking about waiting until AMD releases ZEN which I think will be around October or should I just upgrade to Intel right now?

As of now I can pick up a brand new GTX 980ti for 430USD. The cheapest GTX 1070 i can get is around 1000USD more expensive (520USD). Should I get the 980TI? I've heard that it will suck in DX12, is it true or should I just get it?
