So I have quite recently updated pretty much my whole rig just not my GPU.
My R9 280X isn't capable of handling my monitors resolution and it quite frankly runs like ass.
I've been torn between the 1070 and 1080 forever now. I'd really like to be able to use my gpu for the next 3 years just like this 280x, however if the new graphic card holds a decent value so I wont lose too much money if I'd need to upgrade I'm fine with that aswell.
1070's go for about 500-540 euro here and are very rare, 1080's are going for ~770-820 or so.
I'm rocking a 34" ultrawide on 3440x1440p. I should make clear that I am absolutely fine turning off or screwing down the AA, shadows, hairworks or whatever GPU intensive crap games have to game at 60 fps.
I'm not considering AMD at all because I have no way to CF (mini-itx build).
These are the GPU's I'm considering:
EVGA GTX 1070/1080 SC Gaming 3.0
MSI 1070/1080 Gaming X 8G
I've picked these for both being quiet even under full load and their temperatures.
If someone can advice me which to get (and why), that'd be great. I'd also like to know if my PSU is enough to handle these cards (Silverstone SFX 600W-G).
