Current setup too old for the GTX1070?

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

yup. that's what my heart is 'poisoning' me too.

4Ghz!!! I can try though now its clocked to 3.7Ghz on Thermaltake Water 3.0 cooling.

Yes. i may consider GTX1070 too if MSI's pricing is right for me. RX480 is also a choice but i always feel that reference cooler is not good enough cooling power. hehe

well u can still wait for the AIB cooler after some weeks or months later

unless if u are in a hurry to get new gpu. den go with ref card.

 

[EV1L]

Game play or Game performance more important?

Game play - RX480

Game performance - 1070/1080

Both - 1070/1080

Haha, that makes my choice easier liao. 1070 to go.

How come you're paired with a z77 board? Anyway overclock your 2500k to 4ghz if you're on stock cooler. No issues on bottlenecking unless you're aiming high fps (>100fps). I'm running on a 3440x1440 monitor and I'm hitting 2-3fps lower than a 5960x system.

Sauce for UW benchmarks: link

When i build this system, i planned for all these (OC) (RAID) (mSATA) but in the end, its a joke as i only do OC. I will try OC to 4Ghz. Thank you.

Alrighty bro. Will see how it goes for my GPU as the blank out (mentioned in another thread and you help me out) yesterday while i was gaming. Switched to onboard and so far, no issues.

You have a AIO WC ffs.... OC the damn thing to 4.5ghz please?! I cannot tahan people buy custom coolers and never OC.

And btw, 3.7ghz isn't OC. that's stock boost speed.

 

[longsiew]

Is the game play smooth?

If smooth. Then not need to oc. Keep it at stock.

OC only give u perhaps 2 or 3 FPS increase but heat dissipated and wattage used may not justify the insignificant FPS increase.

Unless u said u can detect the 2 or 3 FPS in gaming with the naked eyes....

Ok, I shall try it again. Think the last time i push to 4Ghz (cannot remember its on stock cooler or AIO) and it locked up.

Agree. No point overclock for those few extra frame.

Ok. Noted and thank you all so much.

I certainly hope so that i do not have to change CPU and MOBO as i wanted to save $$$ to get a GTX 1070 for 1440p, 144mhz gaming. need $$$ to fund the GPU and a DELL S2716DG. Unless R9 480 can let me game comfortably at high to ultra settings.

should have just stick to my original plan on buying the U2515H (1440p) sua.
