What GPU should i buy?

bouggie · Oct 1, 2018

Hello!
I recently bought an LED Acer Gaming XF270HU 27 inch 2K 4 ms Black FreeSync 144Hz monitor and it's time to upgrade my GPU. I currently have an Asus Strix GTX 1060 6GB with an i7 7700k @4.0Ghz. I'm inclined to raise money for an GTX 1070ti but would it be better to go for an RX Radeon Vega56 due to the freesync technology of the monitor? The only demanding game i play is PUBG and i would like to get constant +100 fps on 1440p.

Thank you.

I'd say GTX1070Ti, more power efficient!

To double check list your specs like so:

Yeah, I would go with the VEGA 56 since you have a free sync monitor. As far as performance goes, it is very close to a 1070ti with some tweaking. It is a little more power hungry than your current 1060, so you want to make sure you have a decent PSU to run it. A quality 550 watt PSU from EVGA, Corsiar, or Seasonic should be fine.

While the Corsair CS is not one of the best PSUs in the world, it should be able to handle any of the current GPUs.
