A Mod Real Quick
I run wow at max on my 1070 doing 1080p@144hz and my frames vary from 50 to 200. Not one of those games where frames are steady
Its gears of war so there is a strong chance the game will suck
I lost one of my 670s and was feeling the pain. Bought a 1060 6gb and I'm right back in it. Doom at 1080 maxed running 120fps alone with over watch.Just slapped the cheap 1060 3 gig into my ~5 year old rigs pcie 2.0x16 slot. Even with a dated AMD phenom 2 processor I'm now running everything fine typically at 100 fps, aside from a dip to 55 now and then. This is the first time in 20 years of building computers that I've ever been able to simply upgrade a single component for 200 dollars instead of building a completely new rig.
Strange times my friends.
The jump from 600 to 900 was actually the biggest upgrade I have done. But the jump from my 970 to 1070? Not so much. It's much quieter for sure and I usually get to turn on a setting or two more to ultra but it wasn't a massive upgrade I was expecting imo. Still it outputs a lot less heat and have yet to hear the fan churn loudly. I actually think the extra RAM is the best benefit as you can pump up textures to ultra.
Did an advanced replacement RMA. Unfortunately, they wouldn't do it for free because my card is a 1070, and the known issue is with the 1080? That's bullshit as far as I am concerned because it's the same FTW model, and the SAME exact issue. Screen goes blank, fans power to high, have to power down and reboot. So I had to pay $44.99 for next day air advanced replacement. Which after processing probably won't get here until Monday anyhow.
Hopefully I will be able to continue playing games as long as I do absolutely nothing on the second screen.
