Hey everyone,

I've been searching for benchmarks around the i5 8600k to find out which GPU has the best "value for the money" for gaming at 1440p 144Hz/fps, the GTX 1070, 1070 TI or 1080. Sadly with no or very little results.
Therefore I'm asking you guys for help.

When playing competitive games like R6S or Overwatch I want tvery high refresh rates/fps and I'm willing to play with a bit lower settings, as long as I can take advantage of my 144Hz monitor.

Whereas games like The Witcher or BF1 should be playable at maximum settings with at least 60 FPS.

The GPU should be able to fulfill these two wishes while being as cheap as possible.

Thanks in advance!

GTX 1070 is for 1080p 144FPS gaming. GTX 1070 ti is fine for 1440p 144FPS with overclocking, but 1080 is better to have. Since those two has small price diff, I will go with 1080. If you think 1080 is too expensive, get 1070ti and overclock.

Okay so since the price difference between the 1070 Ti and the 1080 isn't that high, and the 1080 overclocked will be more future proof than a 1070 Ti overclocked I might as well pick the 1080, right?
