Zotac gtx 1070 vs Sapphire NITRO+ RX 470

[Owen_30]

Hi I'm wondering which one of these cards I should get. I have a 144hz monitor so id like to have some good fps but I was wondering if the zotac gtx 1070 is worth it over buying the Sapphire NITRO+ RX 470 8gb. Its $180 more.

The 1070 beats the RX470 easily. The closest competing card AMD currently has is the RX480, which competes with the GTX 1060. The GTX 1070 is in a completely different tier than either the RX 480 or the GTX 1060.

No contest Zotac 1070 crushes the 470.

But is it worth the extra 180?

Only you can answer that one! How often do you upgrade, or make a new build? What games do you play?At what resolution?

What do you want to be able to do?

Hi is it worth the extra 180? I have a 144hz monitor and want to run it at 1080p

GTX 1070 and RX 470 are on completely diferent levels.

Being the 1070 much stronger, so yes it's worth to reach those nice 144FPS which the 470 won't.
