GTX 670 Upgrade Advice

Brando457 said:
I plan on gaming on my current monitor for at least a few more years. I would like to play games on the highest settings possible such as Far Cry 4, GTA V, Batman Arkham, Fallout 4, etc.

I am debating if I should upgrade to a 1070 GTX once the non founder edition cards become readily available. I also considered the RX 480, but it seems the 1070 GTX would be better for me.

Are there any parts of my system that would bottleneck the 1070 GTX? Is that the right path to take?

Currently my CPU is not overclocked as I am not sure how to do it in the bios.

>> Current Rig <<
Intel I5-3570K 3.4 Ghz cooled w/ Corsair H1800I
Asus Sabertooth Z77 LGA 1155
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB 4 x 4 GB DDR3 1866 MHZ PC3 15000
EVGA GTX 670
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
BenQ XL2420T 24" 120 Hz monitor
Corsair HX 850 Watt Pro Series


Thank you for your time and assistance.

I have the same cpu as you clocked at 4.2Ghz and just upgraded from a 670 to a 1070 and its perfect. My benchmark scores are slightly lower than people with newer cpu's but its marginal at best. I game at 1440p and GTA V was killing me, max everything on the 1070 is using 5GB of memory and runs flawlessly at 60fps at 1440p. I am so happy I didn't upgrade to the 970 because 4 /(3.5) GB of memory is just not enough for games out already and has no room for the future. I went with the Gigabyte G1 Gaming 1070 fyi.

I'm going with the 1070, just waiting for it to become more readily in stock and going to try to find an evga with 3.0 cooler. Also going to try to find a site that doesn't charge tax in NJ :x
