Did you try to add the MFAA ? (Multi-Frame AA) Maybe reduc the AA (as you may not need so much for 4k res) and use MFAA to smooth the picture. Or maybe with DSR (1.5 or 2 you your GPU can handle it), with the right smoothness value. (I didn't try DSR yet, I find the picture pretty cool at 1440p with 12x AA + MFAA)
I think I'll wait and see what the 1170 and 1180 have to offer next year. Maybe look at a used 1080 if not.
Well a couple of weeks ago I made the jump from my 770 to a 1070. I was close to getting the 1080 but at around £600+ (UK price) I decided not to. I've installed it and had to make rather a few changes to general settings on my computer, but I'm very pleased with the overall results, and would highly recommend updating if your sat on the fence.
My 4570 has no issue at all to drive the 1070. Theses CPU are far enough for sim racing with 1070 or even 1080 Gpu
More depends on the games your playing, CPU heavy games like RUST or Miscreated, you may find your i5 is a bit of a bottleneck as I do with my i5 6500, for R3E, it's no issue at all.
At my age if I keep waiting I'm gonna end up waking up dead one morning, so gotta bite the bullet at some point and sooner rather than from the grave, now you've only gone and thrown next gen into the mix, 1080's are ludicrously expensive at the moment but fancy after Chrimbo prices will become a little more respectable, gonna need the £ to buck the f**k up or I won't be buying anything other than Cornish Pasties and Cheddar Cheese!
Their already $850 down under as opposed to $1150 two weeks ago. Almost tempting even though i just got my GTX 1060 .But it was only $350.
Im on a GTX 980ti. Was thinking about upgrading to the 1080ti (when it arrives) for 4k gaming. But i doubt the 1080ti is capable of rendering 4k at 60fps. Im also waiting for the Philips BDM4037UW 4K 40 inch curved screen. Seems that GPU land is far behind concerning resolutions. Hopefully either AMD or Nvidia will be able to close the gap soon.
I just upgraded to a 1070 from my 1060 and while it can manage max settings now instead of medium shadows on 1060 i'm now getting BSOD and checker boarding quite often even though it has Samsung memory . Really annoying . New card coming on Tuesday .
