I'm running a 970 now, which gets it done, and am basically cpu limited in the only game I really play - GW2- but from what I am seeing this would be a minimum of 2x horsepower increase. I could also play everything at 1440 with with eye candy.
Probably just wait and see how the pricing sets up. I doubt that the Strix-class cards will be below the MSRP.

Guru3D is saying the card will be between $599 & $699 with another $100 tacked on for the Founders Edition. If I were you, I'd put money into a Devil's Canyon or Skylake CPU/Motherboard first. Another alternative is to purchase a 980ti or Titan X used. They will probably be half the price once the 1080 officially releases.

I have a 4970k, the cpu stuff if limited to that particular game which is dx9. My wife and I play together quite a bit, which is fun, so it's just the way it is with that game.

I didn't realize GW2 was so CPU intensive. You really don't have anywhere to go in that department unless you decide to upgrade to an X99 motherboard and purchase a 58xx CPU.wvjohn wrote:I have a 4970k, the cpu stuff if limited to that particular game which is dx9.

Not sure if it CPU intensive or CPU unoptimized
If the 1070 is faster than the 980GTI, that would be nice. It will really mess up the used market, though.

I like that the 1080 and 1070 have a single 8 pin connector. 1070 in SLI would be amazing.FlyingPenguin wrote:Nvidia's GTX 1070 is slightly faster than a Titan X and GTX 980 ti, reveals 3DMark benchmark

Re: Al the GF 1080 benches via Blues News
I am looking forward to seeing what the custom 1070s will do, but as fast as a 980TI would suit me fine for an upgrade from my 970 if it is less than $400.
