I am currently looking into upgrading my system's GTX 770 4GB to a GTX 1080. After hours of research (off and on for the past couple of weeks) I've come to the conclusion that I have no conclusion XD. Despite this being a question that has heaps of data and benchmarks yet no clear cut answer (I understand it's a difficult/convoluted topic,) I wanted to get one final opinion: assuming that my system's i5 2500K will bottleneck the GTX 1080, how much of the power of the 1080 can I actually utilize?
I can fully utilize my GTX 770 with the 2500K, but will I be getting my money's worth out of a 1080 with this CPU (Overclocked or Otherwise?) I know that I really should match it with a GTX 1060 6GB or a GTX 1070 but with the crypto-currency craze I can currently get the 1080 for around the same price as the 1070 and for only ~100 more as the 1060.
Is it worth investing in the 1080 over the GTX 770 with this CPU?
