Hello TPU. I just received my 8700K. I am now shopping for a graphics card!
I have always utilized AMD graphics cards in the past. I am not liking the VEGA line up; the performance is just not there sadly. I am interested in a NVIDIA graphics card, particularly the GTX 1080. I game on a 27 inch 1440p ASUS ROG Monitor. I play games like PUBG, Overwatch, Battlefield etc.
The GTX 1060, 1070, and 1080 have been out for > 1 year now. Sadly, due to the mining surge, stock is limited and prices have increased. I found a reasonably priced GTX 1080 brand new locally. I feel as though a GTX 1080Ti is overkill for my daily needs.
Should I lean towards buying a GTX 1080 or spend the extra ~250$ for a Ti for future proofing? Thanks!
