Guys, if i had to ask if the GTX 1080 worth the buck? or I should get the GTX 1070? The resolution i will be playing depends on what gpu i will get. Can you guys explain to me which is worth? and reasons.

Whether a 1080 is worth it to you depends entirely what screen your running.

1080p 100htz+ - 1070
1440p 60htz - 1070
1440p 100htz+ - 1080
Anything above 1440p - 1080

Performance wise, the GTX 1080 is roughly a 30% increase over the 1070.

If you want to fully utilize the GTX 1080, your other hardware has to keep up though. What are your current specs?

Both are extremely powerful cards.

8gb 1080 has GDDR5X while the 1070 has GDDR5. Meaning the 1080 has faster memory.

1080 is designed with the future in mind in terms of optimizing for VR and stuff like that.

Both are extraordinary cards and can play just about any game at ultra at the moment.

I have a GTX 980ti which is pretty equivalent to the 1070 than both those cards and I manage to play almost every game 4k at High with ~50fps, so the 1070 should do just as good.

You can't go wrong with either, if you wanna save a couple hundred just go with the 1070.

Titan X is still only good for 4k@60 nowhere close to 120.

Thank you for clarifying, I updated my response to reflect that ;)
