Hi,
Currently i have a MSI GTX970 and in the pursuit of solid FPS i was considering an upgrade to my GPU. I don't play the most top end of games (BF1, PUBG), but i'd like to play them on their max settings and not get crap frame rates - i currently have to play PUBG in low to get 60 FPS, which is probably more to do with poor game optimisation - and i will be buying new titles such as COD, anything with guns really!
Now i know the 1080TI is a totally different league to my 970, and i am just wondering if i should take the plunge, considering my other PC components? Basically i don't want to bottleneck the card by not upgrading my CPU etc.
I have:
CPU: i5 6400 overclocked to 4.4GHz
RAM: HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 C15 2x8GB
MBD: Asus Z170-E
I also have 2 very old SSD's from crucial - i will probably get a m.2 drive if i do any upgrades.
My second option is to spend around 2k on an all new rig, i am just trying to get the best value for my money!
In terms of the 1080TI i'd go for...
I am liking the EVGA hybrid card: https://www.alza.co.uk/evga-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-sc2-hybrid-gaming-icx-d4943207.htm
Alternatively, it'd be the Asus Strix: http://www.ebuyer.com/785730-asus-gtx-1080ti-rog-strix-oc-11gb-gddr5x-graphics-card-rog-strix-gtx1080ti-o11g-gaming
