Hey guys. I'm desperate to upgrade a recently bought 1050. My 970 died and quite literally the only video card they had at Frys was a 1050. I thought I could tough it out for the time being but this card struggles too much compared to the 970. I play a lot of Ark can barely keep 30fps on modified medium settings.
I found a guy very close by with an Asus Strix OC 8GB 1070 he is willing to let go for $525. He says he got a bunch over Thanksgiving but decided mining was not for him. He says the cards were running 24/7 for the 3 months of Dec-Jan. Seems like a decent enough fellow through our emails.
My immediate alternative is to just bite the bullet and go with a new PNY 1070 that a local big box retailer just so happens to have in stock - $750 incl tax for that one.
Any advice guys?
