Question which better

[kuok]

some one help me
i have 6700k and 980 ti g1 so i plan to sell my 980 ti and buy 1080 ti zotac
so my question is ...... 6700k with 1080 ti better ? or 980 ti with 8700k ?????
i only play games

980 ti with 8700k will be about 200$ cheaper than 6700K and 1080Ti. Also, having too weak of a cpu won't be able to use the full potential of a 1080TI

Depends on whether your applications require more CPU power or GPU power, but I really can't think of anything that an Intel Core I7-6700K shouldn't be able to handle easily.

Agreed with Wolfshadw.

6700K is a good pair with most GPUs depending on application. I would sooner go down route of upgrading GPU.

Personally, I wouldn't upgrade either for another generation or two, but in your case, I'd opt for the GPU upgrade over the CPU upgrade.

hmmmmm thank u ... any way my use will be for games only

Yeah, your CPU should still be very capable for gaming, so a CPU upgrade wouldn't make much difference to game performance in most titles. A graphics card upgrade would likely boost frame rates a lot more, particularly if you are running recent games at maximum graphics settings, or at a resolution higher than 1080p.

Are you considering getting a new card or a used card though? If buying new, the 1080 Ti is a previous-generation card at this point, and its prices are typically no longer very competitive compared to the newer cards when buying new. The RTX 2080 generally offers slightly better performance than 1080 Ti, so a 1080 Ti probably isn't worth considering unless it is priced lower. And of course, if buying used, you will likely be getting less or no warranty coverage, so keep that in mind.

i will buy 1080 ti zotac extreme from my friend ...... so 1080 ti with 6700k better than 980 ti and 8700k ???? for gaming ?
