Been looking at the different GPUs for a while now but I just can't decide.
Will just be gaming at 1080p 1920x1080, but I wanna be able to run most games with atleast 100+ FPS. (Would be nice with 144hz aswell since I got a 144hz monitor)

Been looking at the 1070 , but idk if its worth to throw in the extra cash and just get the 1080 TI.
Aswell with the 1080 feel like its no point in getting that, then I would rather get the 1080 TI.

But at the same time I don't feel like I need the 1080 TI considering I'm only gonna play at 1080p. Im leaning more towards the 1070 but I don't know.

Come with suggestions and which brand of the GPUs to get.

EDIT:
I have been looking at benchmarks but still not sure which one to get.


My PC specs:

Case
- Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5

PSU
-Corsair RM750i, 750W PSU

CPU
-Intel Core i7-6700 Skylake

CPU cooler
-nzxt kraken x62

GPU
-GeForce GTX 980 4GB

Motherboard
-ASUS Z170-A, Socket-1151

Ram
-Crucial DDR4 2133MHz 16GB (4x4GB)

To ensure 144+ FPS on all games and high to max settings I'd choose the 1080. The 1070 is a little too light for that and its value is repulsive. The pricing was fine up until the 970. They were right around $329. Then Nvidia...

The gtx 1070 is a decent graphics card and it can be overclocked to the stock settings of the 1080, I would personally go for it.
There is about a $100 difference between the 1080 and 1070, its really up to you if you want to pay that much more to get that extra bit of performance.

What I would do in your situation is go for the 1070 but use that $100 you would have used for the 1080 to get a faster ram.

They were right around $329. Then Nvidia gets sued and loses. Their next generation of cards are now up to and over $100 more. Hmmmmm. That much inflation in one year. I understand the mining and folding community did help that price hike.


Oh, you are considering the Ti. Are you aware of the OC restrictions on the Ti? https://www.anandtech.com/show/11987/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-ti-founders-edition-review/16

Consider this https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Advanced-Gaming-Graphics-ROG-STRIX-GTX1070TI-A8G-GAMING/dp/B076RCTXGX

and

this https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1080-ARMOR-8G/dp/B01GXOWUDQ/ref=sr_1_12?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1511691054

A $5 difference. The 1080 is about 20% better but only $5 more. Which would I chose? Yep. Then I could OC it and it would move farther ahead of the 1070.

I'd go with the gigabyte but there's really not much difference between the brands, but like I said faster ram would be a good choice it would give you smoother performance. Your current one is 2133mhz, depending on your budget go for 2400/2600 etc..

I agree with the RAM recommendation.

Is this the same for all the 1070 ti? I keep changing my mind, driving me crazy.
Now I wanna go for 1080, but at the same time if im getting 1080, might aswell get 1080 ti but its 200$ extra.

EDIT:
Okay, so now im leaning towards the 1080 or 1080 ti, which brand 1080 ti do you think I should get?
Also I'm using a website called ''komplett.no'' so I'm not sure if they have all brands.

The definition of "Investment" is to purchase something with the hope/expectation of an increase in value, like stocks, art and real estate.

Electronics are not investments, they are purchases. They will decrease in value, guaranteed. The "return", which refers to monetary profit, is non-existent. The reward is the enjoyment of use.

In some of them the user may discover coil whine. That possibility exists with any card. The 970s also had some coil whine issues. Mine, the EVGA FTW had zero coil whine.

Have you decided which 1080 yet?
