Thank you for everyones help.

I am currently playing on a gtx 770 twin 2gb frozr and its time to upgrade. But I dont know if its worth upgrading to these or if I am better off getting a 1060 at 6gb.

I have been looking at some 1070 ti and 1080's. They are about a 100 bucks different in price. My max is 700 cad not counting tax.

Thank you all.

If both of those displays are high refresh and you game on both then either GTX1070Ti or GTX1080 will give you a huge performance boost, if you game off just one ( and its also high refresh) then a GTX1070 will do very well, while a GTX1060 is sufficient for gaming on a single 60Hz display.

They'll all run 3 monitors, but do check the card you have in mind has the correct connections, or you have a suitable adaptor for the low rez display.

As for the cards in your first post: there's very difference in performance and both are excellently cooled, either is a solid choice...Take your pick.
