Hi all,
I live in Australia and am interested in getting the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8GB which will be released here in a few days time. I would prefer to keep my current system, but was wondering if some of the clever members on this website could give me some honest advice about whether I need to upgrade first or not.
I have heard that if your GPU is relatively more powerful than your CPU (or vice versa), you can run into problems with gaming. My main query is whether you think my current CPU and new GPU will complement each other well or not. (But if you notice anything else that might be potentially problematic, please let me know.)
Current system (which was built around October 2013):
Intel i7 4770 (Haswell) 1150 LGA @ 3.4ghz CPU (this is the LOCKED version and I have no intention of overcloking this component in the future)
Corsair 16GB DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte H87-D3H 1150 Motherboard (single PCIe 3.0 16x slot for graphics)
Thermaltake 875w PSU
Gigabyte GTX 780ti WIndforce 3GB graphics card
Samsung EVO 500GB SSD
LG 22" 1920x1080 monitor
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
System used for:
I game at 1920x1080 and would like everything maxed out if possible. I know some people will suggest the new card is overkill for 1080p, but I have found the 3GB RAM on current card does not cut it for many newer demanding titles.
If you require any additional information, please ask. I look forward to and appreciate all constructive feedback!
