[Yash_rc]

soo i had a gtx 1060 3gb .. buying a gtx 1070 8gb now .. i have an i3 3210 ik HUGE bottlneck.. but my dream was always to buy a gtx 1070 and this will be my final card till i get a part tiime job which is approx of 3 years or 4 years later my question is will be the bottleneck be the same with gtx 1070 ? i mean i used to get 50 to 60fps in bf1 ultra single player with gtx 1060 3gb will i get 60 fps too ? with gtx 1070 or the bottleneck will be more ?

Your i3 will limit the 1070 quite a bit but at the very least you should be GTX 1060 3gb performance but I can't tell you how much more performance you'll get with a 1070, if any.

You'd probably get better performance if you upgraded your CPU/MB/RAM instead of getting the 1070.

Doesnt work that way. Bottleneck here is, your card has more potential than the cpu allows it to perform. So basically, what you were getting with 1060, you will get the same with 1070 as the CPU cannot support any further performance from the card. You will be just paying the extra money for the 1070... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EQOWVLxk0DOFXKfzCmz9lEZ-qpMb7mIvt8KUYek69A8/edit#gid=0

You probably will not see an increase at all. Whatever performance you got with the 1060 will probably be the exact same with the 1070.

I have to be honest with you.
The performance gain is minimal.

1070 will not give you noticeable gain, but if it’s your dream then its up to you.

With a i3 you won't see a difference. Save your money.

Unless its under $350 for new or $250 used, its not cheap.

Thats fine. Just get it if you want it that bad. You can carry it to your next build. Besides, it wont harm anything.
