[SOLVED] Will My PC Support a GTX 1070 TI?

[Sandymanbran]

Hey guys,

I've been looking to upgrade my GPU for awhile, but running on a budget. I currently have a RX580 (Sapphire Nitro+ Special Edition).

I found somebody selling their ASUS Cerberus GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB for $300... used, but works perfectly fine. I plan on making this purchase, but first want to confirm that my PC specs will support this GPU change/slight upgrade.

Here's my full current build:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x
GPU: RX580 - 8GB (Sapphire Nitro+ Special Edition)
RAM: 16GB of DDR5 running at 3000mhz (GeIL SuperLuce RGB)
PSU: Corsair CX850M
Storage: 1TB WD Blue SSD (3D NAND)

I currently have a 1080p monitor, but plan on upgrading to a 1440p after this upgrade.

Should I do it? For $300 (used but working properly) .. I'd be able to sell my RX580 and get some cash back towards the monitor upgrade as well..

YAY OR NAY?

Thanks guys 😬

Yes , your specs can support it.

Go for it.

Thanks for the quick response! I guess my follow up question is: how necessary is the monitor upgrade to see the improvements from RX580 to the 1070Ti? (ie. if I keep my 1080p/144hz monitor.. will I still see enough performance improvement to validate the purchase?
