Graphics Card Purchasing Help
Hi all,
I'm looking at getting a new graphics card in a month or so and I have been looking at Nvidia (after years of using Radeon cards), and I have a question or two:
I'm looking at the GTX 1070 (Mid-range is around $595 to $650 where I live) and it seems that it will do all right, but I have also seen a couple of low end GTX 1080's in the $650 to $700 range at Newegg.
My question is: Would the low end 1080 be a better buy than the mid or high end 1070? I'm not an extreme gamer, but I would like to play some of the newer games. I can justify the purchase of the 1080, gaming wise, but would the extra $100 be worth it to get the low end 1080?
My budget is $700 to $750 before taxes
