GTX 1070 or GTX 1060 with i5 4670 and Corsair CX600

GTRSILENTX · Aug 1, 2017

Hi, I wanted to know whether I should get a GTX 1070 or a GTX 1060 (6GB) with my setup. I was planning on getting a GTX 1070 but since I had some doubts about it I figured I should ask here. Will it lead to bottlenecks? Will the power supply be enough? And I am NOT planning to overclock. Any help would be great!

Specs:

i5 4670
16GB of RAM
Corsair CX600
Sapphire R9 270X 2GB OC Edition(Currently)

I would go for the 1060 6gb personally, more balanced with that system and still a huge upgrade over the 270x.

Will my 1333MHz ram be an issue? For either card?

For what 1080p 60Hz, 1440p 60Hz, something else?

Also your psu is very low quality, personally would change it before risking any new gpu on it.

Currently 1080p 60Hz and in future I might be upgrading to 1440p.

Depends how likely it is you will upgrade to 1440p. The 1070 is a little over the top for 1080p 60Hz but then the price of the 1060 is over inflated at the moment due to crypto miners buying all the stock so the 1070 probably offers better performance to price ratio.

If you want to go 1440p then the 1070 is definitely the better choice.

That is one of the reasons I'm leaning towards getting a 1070. The price difference between 1060 6GB and 1070 is not that much in my country.

I'd get the 1070, if nothing else it should meet your needs for longer so you should be able to put off future upgrades a little longer.
