Need upgrade help.

[BellyBanjo]

With my GTX 1050 ti having trouble running games recently, i've been thinking about getting a GTX 1070 but i'm not sure if the upgrade is worth it. Any advice on it would be much appreciated!

Well what is the rest of your system?
Depending on specs you might not see much of any gains out of it at all.

yeah, it is well worth it.

Its not well worth it if the OP has say an x4-860k which is struggling to even keep up with the 1050.
Would see very marginal gains wiht a 1070 in that situation.

Not to mention should make sure the OPs power supply is up to the task.

My system specs are
I5 6400 2.7ghz
EVGA 1050 ti
8 gb ram

i5 6400 will show a big improvmeent with a 1070 over a 1050ti.

Now what is your power supply so we can make sure it is up to the job?

Its a 750 Watt

That does not tell me what your power supply is, that tells me what the ink says that is printed on a sticker.

A good 750w psu can output 750w if necessary, a crappy 750w psu will die a quick death if you expect it to ouput 300w, and when it does die it will fry the rest of your computer with it.

Thus I need to know the actual brand and model number to tell you if it is sufficient.

From what I found it's a EVGA 750 watt gold

If that's a SUpernova NEX, it's bad, everything else is good.

I dont believe it is but im not 100 % sure because my power supply is hidden under a panel in my case so i had to go on the website i ordered it off of to get the details

Even the Supernova NEX can take the 1070, it's not that bad of a PSU, it's just worse than many.
Your bottleneck here might be the CPU, because of it's low clock speed.Probably won't be much of a problem, though.

 

[boosted1g]

Since your GPU is a gold the it is either G1/G2/G3/GS

G1 is not that good while the rest are very very good.

Now G1 is not bad, just not good; it is not going to damage any parts. If you do have a G1, then you can run it just fine, just keep in mind that it will fail on you eventually (could be in 2 weeks, could be well over a year).

G1 is branded as NEX.
