    Question Is there anything worthwhile upgrading to from a 1070Ti with a $500 budget?

    Yes. Very excited. It's perfect for 1440p gaming between 60 to 100 fps which is exactly the freesync/ gsync range of my monitor. I also got the 2 slot twin fan version (versus the 2.5 slot amp) so I can sli it later with a new mobo

    Question Is there anything worthwhile upgrading to from a 1070Ti with a $500 budget?

    You sir are correct. I bought a zotac 2080 for $699. After selling my 1070ti for 350 - it's a net $350 spend for ~20 to 30% bump in fps. I expect that to improve with new drivers.

    Thanks I'm on a 3440 x 1440 ultra wide. Assassins creed odyssey gets me 43fp on ultra. Its roughly in that range for battlefield 5, far cry 5 etc.

    A third option might be to replace the mobo for $200 with one that supports SLI and get another 1070Ti for $400. SLI 1070Ti should be enough for now till it's a wholesale system upgrade

    Ok. I didn't know that. I just this video of Crossfire Vega 64 beating 2080ti. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bPLtWLWe_Y Yeah - that's the issue. Doesn't feel like a significant enough upgrade.

    Question Is there anything worthwhile upgrading to from a 1070Ti with a $500 budget?

    Not a big fan of having to turn down settings and thinking about how to get some more FPS in games. Originally planned to SLI till I realized my motherboard (Asrock Z370 Pro4) doesn't support it but supports crossfire instead. Thought of couple of options - need some advice. Budget $600 total...

    Updated post above with Mobo. Looks like my mobo doesn't support SLI. That sucks.

    Question SLI'ng Zotact 1070ti Amp Extreme on a Fractal Meshify C

    So i'm thinking about going SLI on my existing Zotac 1070ti Amp Extreme. I have a Meshify C fractal design case which has 7 slots. I'm trying to score an additional card under $300 which is tough. Do you think it's possible to SLI ZOtact 1070Ti Amp Extreme with a regular Zotac 1070Ti Amp which...
