How future proof is the GTX 1070 Ti at 1080p?

[coreyperry2014]

How future proof is a GTX 1070 Ti at 1080p Max settings? Would I be able to get max setting for least 2-4 years and then another one or two in high or so? I’m pairing this Up with a i5 8400 and 2666Mhz 16 GB ram. Trying to get the best for my buck. Thank you! I know down the line CPU will need to be upgraded.

That's a bit like asking someone to tell you the future. It's good right now at 144Hz 1080p. If you're going 60Hz 1080p then it'd last a bit longer. But again, nobody can really say how long it will last at max settings, that would actually depend on your fps expectations.

The 1000 series GPUs are already 2 years old.
I highly doubt you will get max settings in 4 years from now.
That's a total of 6 years since the GPU launched.

1 or 2 years on max settings maybe yes. It all depends on the game really.
Used to have a GTX 770 (launched in 2013) and it couldn't run Crysis 3 at 60FPS on max settings.
Neither could it run Wolfenstein The New Order on max settings.
Both are games from 2013-2014.

The best for your buck would be to wait for the new Nvidia GPUs.

Think you'll be fine. I'm still using my GTX 970 for HD gaming and it's still pretty decent. But for the price of a 1070 Ti why not get a GTX1080?

I think GTX 1070ti is more than enough for atleast the next 2 years.You can check out benchmarks on this link.

At 1080? Likely permanently in relation to it's usable lifespan unless something really big happens in gaming graphics outside Ray Tracing.
