Guys I am going to get a gpu soon after eid but i am on tight budget. Initial I was wondering to buy Zotac 1070 mini which coast around 55k but just saw Gtx 1080 @ CZone for 70k.

So my simple question is that did this Gtx 1080 really worth 15k more than Gtx 1070

What's your resolution? @OP and no, 1070 won't give "almost similar" performance to 1080. @dilawer.

1060 = 1080p GPU
1070 = 1440p GPU
1080/1080ti = 4k GPU

Even if you are going 1440p go for gtx 1080
For 15k more it will run a year or half worth of games more on 1440p than a 1070

- - - Updated - - -

But if you are going 1080p don't bother with 1080 gtx go for 1070 instead and forget about changing ur gpu for a long long time

[MENTION=41982]soomro[/MENTION] i'd honestly tell you to wait but if you can't then the deciding factor would be when you are looking to upgrade and if affordability is a problem or not.

whoops pg messed up and posted an unedited version what i meant to say was to wait for volta. However, if you can't wait till 2018 Q2 (that's probably when Pakistanis will get volta) then go for pascal by all means, as i said in my previous post the deciding factor will be when you are looking to upgrade after you buy a gpu or let me rephrase it "how long do you use a gpu before upgrading" and if affordability is a concern.

well basically you are paying approximately ~12% more for 8% more performance which is not *that* bad and in future that 8% performance can make all the difference if an non-optimized game drops and runs at 50-ish fps on a 1070 but your 1080 will give you 60 fps that is where the 1080 is better in simpler words, it's a bit more future proof and you can always overclock later to get more performance out of it. Imho if affordability is not a concern then by all means go for 1080.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
