what about Fez? :lupe:
Seems like the 1070 is a great card even for 4K. Reading online users are reporting it to even hold 60fps even on high settings among a lot of games give or take a couple settings that can be bumped. Usually the typical setting or two that can be bumped down with minimum fidelity loss e.g. shadow resolution, ambient occlusion types, anti aliasing(I find AA at 4K pretty much unnecessary) so that sounds right up my alley.

Are you on 4K? If not, even a GTX 1060 is a significant upgrade.

YEARS? The 1070 is barely a 4K card on the PC if you are looking to stay on V. High/Ultra. You might want to look towards a GTX 1080 if that's the case.
A GTX 1080 alone still won't give locked 60fps on most games at 4K so aiming for V high/ultra isn't my priority. Most games have settings that tank performance for minimal visual boosts. I've already toy'd around with my old card at 4K and even then I can manage with that.

I can get a 1070 for around $360~400. A 1080 is like another $100~150 extra. I don't feel like spending that much when I don't even game on the PC like that.

it trades blows with my 980ti. 4K 60fps is gonna be a struggle with a lot of modern games :yeshrug:

better off saving your money for the Scorpio :troll:

relax, this is an extreme example. 95% of the games I play on PC are already hitting 60fps this is just an extreme case where I can't hit a steady 60fps at all. Not sure why y'all acting like this is crazy when one of y'alls regularly play 30fps on Xbox One and even says it's the best version of the game *cough* @Ciggavelli *cough* FH3* *cough* I'm sure @____ is going to pretend I'm lying.

Bunch of elitists in here. :smh:

He is after that "cinematic" feel :hhh:
what's with you guys and your 30fps aversion?? Nobody is saying 30fps is better here. I'm saying if in an extreme case where I absolutely cannot play above 30fps at my native res despite lowering visual settings I"ll just settle for a locked 30fps until I upgrade. Can you guys even read? You dudes so quick to jump to conclusions. I'm not saying I'm going to buy a 1060 or w/e just to play at 4K/30fps. I'm in this thread asking for suggestion/tips and y'all in here dikk measuring. shyt like this is why I can't stand some of y'all PC cats. Always acting weird over a simple comment. :smh:

Yeah, I'm not a straight 60fps guy. I aim for 45fps and ultra myself. 30 is a little low, but I'll deal with it if it's stable.

I know, I know I said graphics don't matter, but they do help with immersion (and you make sacrifices when you play on 3 monitors)

60 fps and ultra is obviously the best though. That's not always possible at ultra high resolutions.
Yeah, something like this is what I mean. Shocking.:facepalm:
