Please be ironic

ofc, buying a workstation gpu for gaming is a huge waste of money and will yield disappointing results

The 1070 is a pertfect 1440 or 4k intro card now.

I keep trying to convince myself that a 1060 will do fine on my 2K but I know deep down I just love seeing an average above 60 FPS on benchmarks for the 1070 on 2K.

1060 should do 2k fine. but now with heavy vram on all gpus, they will push games harder on textures and paralax and all that vram eating junk. they kinda paving the way for more graphics(other then resolution)
so in a year and half, modern games may struggle at max+2k on that 1060.

That's what I'm thinking, even though I'm obsessed with running games on highest settings.  I'm hoping I'll just be playing less games and thus care less about GPU performance the further I get into college but god knows that probably won't happen.

Will a 1060 be able to run with a fx-6300? The only thing stopping me from buying a 1070 is me having to also upgrade my cpu and I really don't want to do that now.

[Mr Queeba]

I mean, I only want to play my games at 1080p, so I think I'm pretty good.

Definitely not a 1070, that thing is a beast compared to your CPU.  On games that are less CPU intensive the 1060 would be fine but your best bet at this point would be to upgrade the processor too.  Try looking for one that'd fit the socket.

What's the best 8000 series cpu then?

What's the best 8000 series cpu then?

as far as I'm concerned no AMD processor as of now can match a 1070 without bottlenecking it. Either wait for Zen or just get an i5 6600k, but even then the i5 is a bottleneck, but so far it's been working pretty good for me.

[Legodude77]

Well if any of the 8000 series won't bottleneck a 1060 then I'll be fine.

[Nickelob Ultra]

I'm not at all an expert on AMD CPUs honestly, don't take my word for guaranteed certainty.  I would definitely recommend piling money up to do one big internal upgrade actually more than anything.  Assuming your case, power supply, and etc. are all fine, it'd be highly beneficial to simply upgrade mobo, RAM, CPU, and GPU all in one.  Even if it's not the greatest parts available, new or older generations (e.g. Intel Haswell CPUs, GTX900 GPUs vs. the pricier latest), it'll do a world of good.

Nice. Can't wait to use the 1070 for 1080p gaming with everything else maxed out, plus graphics mods.

finally got a 1070, for $400. it better be at my house on friday or someone will die
