gtx 970 vs gtx 1070 upgrade

[prodipta94]

is it really worth to upgrade to gtx 1070 from gtx 970 ??

Seeing how the 1070 is not released yet, it is too early to say. The 970 is a good card and you are probably going to be better off sticking with that for a couple more years.

Nobody knows, nor will know until it comes out.

 

[SPgamer007]

Without seeing the benchmark results and actual price, nothing can be predicted. A gtx 970 is not a card which requires to be upgraded yet.

Yes. Provided it's at least 2.3% faster, or has pink unicorns.

Seriously though, my personal rule of thumb is a 2X increase in performance but for others I suggest maybe at least 1.5X increase in performance. I'd be surprised if the GTX1070 (or similar) is more than 25% faster going by past numbering.

You may even want to put your money towards a GSYNC MONITOR if you've not got a great monitor. (Expensive and I'm still waiting though I have a nice IPS 1440p model)

Also, you can go a long, long way if you know how to tweak. I've seen plenty of people have worse gaming experience on better systems than mine. Things like:

1) VSYNC ON (yes or no)
2) if yes, then maybe ADAPTIVE VSYNC?
3) If adaptive and 144Hz monitor maybe force the "HALF" method to get 72FPS?

Basically if you go with VSYNC OFF you'll get screen tear but can just aim your frame rate by tweaking settings to get say 50FPS or whatever average. With Adaptive VSync it's trickier. I aim to rarely drop below 60FPS (60Hz monitor) but when I do I just get a bit of screen tearing as VSYNC is auto turned off.

You don't want VSYNC ON then drop below the target as it causes stuttering (varying frame times).

ok....sold my 970..waiting for 1070...lets see it's rumored that 1070 & 1080 will release in may 2016..will see then otherwise will go with amd polaris

 

[prodipta94]

btw saw that 1070 is a 6 gb card

 

[JUICEhunter]

It's worth it, 36% faster, only costs 22% more and has 17% more ram, the numbers make it clear as day! Every tech site confirms this...

 

[prodipta94]

good then

 

[JUICEhunter]

But for real if you already sold your 970 that's cool getting the next x70 should be a nice update.

My guess: The next x70 will be a little slower than 980ti and next x80 a little faster all of course for a lower price.

 

[prodipta94]

btw when x70 is releasing ?? internet is saying that may or june 2016

 

[azzazel_99]

These threads already?

These threads already?

yep. the guy above is already tricking OP into thinking what the amount of performance will be as well as price :/ dissapointing.

The 1070 has 2X as much VRAM as the 970. the 1070 has 8GB VRAM where the 970 has 4GB. The 1070 has the same amount of cuda cores as the 980. http://wccftech.com/rumor-nvidia-pascal-gtx-1080-gddr5x-gtx-1070-f-gddr5/

 

[azzazel_99]

Zoltar you have no proof of that because no solid evidence from nvidia has come out. Dont oost false info

 

[zoltar151]

it's on the same site tracking radeons new GPU, though this information is not posted everywhere, you can't accuse me of spreading false info as you your self have no way of fact checking it past what anyone else can. So maybe say this info might be false rather than saying because there's no proof it is false, because neither of us can provide hard proof as no one can on either side.

 

[azzazel_99]

Saying a card will have something that nvidia hasnt released so bo one can know for sure is spreading "possibly" false and unverifiable info.

 

[Gam3r01]

It explicitly states on the article this is a "rumor". We dont use rumors as recommendations.

 

[JUICEhunter]

I'd bet money (and I know we find out tomorrow) that 1070 will have at least 6gb but 8gb is what I think it will have as it should be a cut down of 1080 in only core count (3.5gb fiasco should not happen again).

 

[azzazel_99]

Im betting 1080 8gb 970 6gb and 960 4gb maybe with a 6gb variant.

thats in VR. need to wait for real benchmarks to come out but man im excited

 

[fahad_k91]

379$ !! and the 1080 599$ i think its time to remove the 980 from my amazon cart

 

[rderubeis]

I dont see y so many people upgrade if they dont even have a 144hz monitor. The ram on the card dont really matter if u play at 1080. most people only play at 1080 so to upgrade from a 970 is pointless. Im still using my gtx 760 with no issues lol
