Should i upgrade my 970 gtx to a 1070

[shakersonic25]

I was wondering if upgrading to 1070 graphics card will be worthwhile? I have 1080p/144hz monitor so is it worth upgrading from a gtx 970

hmm you would be spending all that money for some reasonable performance increase however is it really worth the price? i believe you can expect 50 - 60% more fps in most gpu intensive games.

edit: i researched it and everything and got distracted, you can get the 1080 for about 120 (min) more and get double the performance 1.5x if you get the ti version. this one is a bit more then 120 dollars more but it gets good reviews https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/bNcMnQ/evga-video-card-08gp46286

For 144Hz I would maybe save up a bit more and get a 1080 instead. But with that said, it also really depends on rest of your system specs. No need for a heavy GPU if your CPU is too weak to give you 144Hz.

I have a i7-6700K and 16gb of ram

Do you think an upgrade to the 1080 is a more profound upgrade

Depends on local prices in your country, but yes the 1080 will be better at keeping the min. FPS closer to 144Hz. Depending on the games you are playing the 1070 may be good enough.
