I am looking to get a 1070 some point here and have a 960 4gb which seems to work fine with it but looking to upgrade. I really do not want to buy an i7 just to get a 1070 as i just bought this two years ago
sure a 1070 will work with an i5-6500 on your system it is an increase of about 50%
Yay.. I mean i knew it would work just if it would bottleneck or what not but glad to hear that. Waiting for it to go on sale im willing to pay about 300.
The other thing that bothers me though is that the idle temp of the 1070 runs at least 10 degrees hotter which makes me nervous
