What should i buy? GTX 970 STRIX or GTX 1070

[fpmirabile]

Hi there,

I was wondering if i should buy a gtx 970 strix today days...
I know the difference between 970 and 1070 (the best difference is the performance for 4k resolution) but anyway i was asking myself if it is a good idea to get one 970 now adays.

For the other hand, I don't have 4k monitor, so is it makes this worthless ?

Thanks for reading and answering.

No. Get the 1070. You won't regret it.
Even if you don't have a 4k monitor, getting the 1070 will allow you to max (upcoming) games.

Even a 1060 will pack a punch no doubt

I've got a Palit Super Jetstream 1060 and it was such a great buy.

Go for the 1070

The 1070 is much much better than the 970, in any resolution.

With a 1070 you can play at proper 1440p 60Hz, what you won't with just a 970. And even at 4k with lowered settings and some playable fps.
There's no point going 970 now, as it's expensive and even less powerful than a GTX 1060.

Go for the newer tech, it will be much more reliable right now and in the near future
