I was just wondering whether it would be worth upgrading my EVGA gtx 780 sc acx for a gtx 1070 probably another EVGA aswell) i see the retail price is not super expensive and specs looks alot better than what i have, such as 8gb vs 3gb, clock speed etc. The price is going for $619 in Canada and of course taxes which makes up to $700 for the card. The purpose of this is so that i can increase graphics settings and play a few games i havent played yet such as batman arkham knight, and rise of tomb raider at a more reasonable frame rate, and its summer so i have free time id like to spend.
You see i put a little bit of thought into it, and was thinking ive bought my 780 for close to the price and i dont need to be spending $1000 dollars on a card that is not future proof besides none are. So if i were to buy a card every 3-2 years at a price around that (depending on the specs) it wouldnt hurt as much as buying a card for $1000, where if i sell the old card i want to replaced i would lose around $4-500 dollars. Since the card becomes outdated no ones willing to pay a larger sum for the card where they could get a better one from the store for the same price. Poeple asking to buy my gtx 780 for $200 as of now and even lower, so either i sell at around that price or not sell at all and keep as a tropie( which is useless).
My pc specs:
- Asus P8Z77-V LK Intel motherboard
- Intel i5 3570k 3.4ghz
- Corsair H55 quite series cpu water cooler
- Kingston hyperx blu 1600mhz of 16gb
- EVGA nvidia geforce 780 acx sc 3gb
- Intel ssd 330 120gb (primary disk running operating system)
- Samsung ssd 850 pro 128gb ( game installations)
- WD digital hdd 7200rpm 64mb cache black edition 1tb (storage and temporary game installations)
- Corsair TX850M powersupply (850watts)
- asus wifi adapter card 10dbi
