Is the new GTX 1070 overkill for 1080p gaming? I have no interest in getting new monitors, but my GTX 960 couldn't max out the new Batman or Tomb Raider.
Definitely not. Should be just right.
Please use the >>>/g/sqt/ in the future.

Probably yes. We do not have gaming benchmarks yet, but if extrapolate from the GTX 1080 benches, you should be able to get 50-60FPS in Witcher 3 on 1440p. That makes the GTX 1070 overkill for 1080p.

No, games will continue to push the envelope and even at 1080p the old cards will slowly see reductions in performance.
GTX 1070 should get you 60 fps in Rise of the Tomb Raider with everything turned to maximum.
One thing to keep in mind is benchmarks are done at 100% load on the GPU. That means higher temps and fan speeds.
Personally, I prefer my GPU to have a little slack. 80-95% utilization leads to lower temps and less noise. Makes for a more peaceful gaming experience.
>Overkill
In the age of shitty ports that need massive graphical horsepower to run decently and texture mods get as much power as you can get
>>54732068
VRAM is going to matter more in the next couple of years, and if you have the 2gb 960 it might slow you down.
>>54733542
AMD has heating issues though.

>tfw I've used and dealt with both cards in multiple systems I've built for people
>tfw both cards can heat up to 80c doing the same task
I know it's anecdotal, but from personal experience, depending on the series you get, one or the other is going to have more heating problems.
One year it's amd, another it's nvidia, get over it and stop shilling/fanboying a specific brand.
>>54733899

>>54733066
Yes get a 390x which uses slightly less power and renamed polaris as its miles better than a 1070, Oh hang on..

Itll be more than 60 fps actually.

Nvidia has this amazing technology in all their graphics cards that means you can own one with crying like a bitch 24/7 online about graphics cards.
It's amazing and well worth the price premium.

Stop playing shit games and your problems get solved.
Boot up the witcher 3 or something and play a good game.

What about 144hz? Not overkill for that at all.

There's a reason why AMD and Nvidia are still in business. They're on equal levels. Anyone who thinks one is better than the other is retarded.

All of the chances

No just use VSR/DSR
It's fucking sweet
>>54733147
That makes it not good enough for 1440p, so sensible for 1080p especially at higher framerates
I'm sort of in the 960 price range but there's this seller on Ebay who's shitting out new MSI 970s for £200. Is this a great deal? I'm guessing the 1070 will be like £300 and the 1060 won't come out for ages and may or may not be more powerful than the 970 (will it?).
>>54733962
Good one
>>54733899
Good one
I think so. I'm going to get one for my 1080p monitor, but I plan on using it for vr as well. Currently have an r9 380 and want something better for vr.

1070 will not be able to run pure directX12 games from 2017 at 60fps in 1080p.

Dont want it in the first place.
Maybe in the next 4 years I'll consider, i dunno maybe Vulkan is now the new thing, but not now or even next year.

Shit I'm getting a 1080 for 1080p until I get a 4k monitor.
i have a 970 and can still max pretty much every game at 1080p, 1070 sounds like an ultra meme unless you want to gayme at 144hz or something like that.
if you already have a 28nm gpu, better to just wait for volta and vega. everything we've seen of pascal and polaris so far has been disappointing.
most importantly can it handle 60 fps on three 1080p monitors
960 fag here. Thinking about getting a 1070 and maybe a 27" 1440p 144hz monitor depending on benchmarks
>>54737877
3x1080p = 5760x1080 = (3*4k)/4 = 2880x1620
Since the 1070 is slightly better than a 980ti and the 980ti run 3840x2160 at over 60fps on most games then you should probably be fine.
>>54738020
>3840x2160

no thanks raja!
>>54739568
no amd pls
>>54732068
theres no benchmark, this whole thread and all posts including this is useless
>>54739518
Vega or 1080ti
Whichever fits your budget and whichever performs better
Maybe even wait for a 1080 price cut

CURRENTLY, yes, but pretty much every previously released "1440p" card is only good for 1080p at this point. Case in point the 280x was released as a 1440p card, but now it gets 40-50FPS at 1080p. Additionally, the PS4K is coming out with a rumored Polaris 10 GPU, so you can bet that the requirements for 1080 are going to rise significantly over the next three years.
