Considering new GPU
(1/7) > >>
Tig_green:
I have gtx 970 currently which runs rf2 nicely 1080p single screen full/high settings ~120 fps.
Still, a future proof option would be nice to also play more heavier games and possibly VR.
I'm considering gtx 1080 series:
What do you think of these options?:
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 WindForce OC 8G 599€ (euros)
ASUS GEFORCE GTX 1080TI TURBO 11GB 699€ (euros)
Which one is better investment for my money? Other components I have:
- Z170 PRO Gaming - Intel Skylake i7-6700K - EVGA 750W SuperNOVA 750 G2, 100% modular, 80 plus - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO GPU cooler - Fractal Design Define R5 BlackOut ATX case
I would spend 700€ on a GPU only if it's a really good deal considering my whole PC cost me ~1500€

for the extra 100bucks i would go for the 1080ti :)
Tig_green:
Both of those options are much cheaper than other versions of their models which makes me suspicious. I guess the gtx 1080 is just a good deal but not sure about the 1080ti... it needs 2 X 8 pin connection but it seems my PSU seems to have only 2 X 6 pin connections. And is my case big enough for these? I guess 750W is enough for both?

Tig_green:
Both cards say they need 8 pin connector, but my PSU features state:
Key features: - 750 W power supply, 90 % efficiency - 80+ Gold certified - 24-pin ATX connector for motherboard - 4x PCIe connectors (6+2-pin) - 9x SATA connectors - 4x Molex connectors (4-pin) - Modular cable design - 140 mm fan - Over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-power, over-temperature and short-circuit protection
I don't see 8 pin connector there :o Or should I count 6+2= 8 pin connector?
