Performance Results after user benchmark test

[eightoone]

Hi all, first time posting,

I was looking to upgrade my GPU to a GTX 1070 but thought id run a user benchmark test and got these results, apart from upgrading parts, is there anything i can do to boost performance or make things a bit more streamlined. cheers for your help

Unfortunately those results don't tell us anything useful. If you would have shared the link to the results we could at least see a few more results to compare things.

What games do you play? What is your monitor resolution and refresh rate? What power supply do you have?

i was thinking of up[grading the GPU to a GTX 1070 ti as well? worth it?

cheers for your help

Arma 3, from what I understand uses the CPU a lot to the point you could gain some 20% increase in performance if you were to use an i7-6700K or i7-7700K.

If you haven't overclocked your system, you could also gain performance from doing that. Your GTX 970 can overclock and perform like a stock GTX 980. Your RAM could possibly be overclocked to 3200MHz C16 1.35V. I have that same RAM except in 2x8GB and that's what I'm running.
