I am tempted by a 1070 Ti for £375 in the UK Black Friday sales, currently have a 650 Ti (lol) so don't do much PC gaming recently. Is this a stupid thing to buy right now? I think this is a good price, I've been looking casually for probably a year+... is it?
The GPU landscape at the moment is messy and confusing. Main thing with this card is it has 2x HDMI, and DVI alongside displayports so I can run my screens without needing DP converters for now. My monitors are 1440p also a 1080p projector where occasional PC games might be played with a controller. I mostly want an upgrade as I'm starting to learn Unity dev and shader programming etc, which the 650 might be ok for but I doubt it (don't know yet). I game on a PS4 Pro / PSVR with good friends and owning such a GPU might cause internal conflict too lol.
I want to play X4: Foundations (if it's good) and the 650 will certainly not suffice for that...
Rest of the system is an FX-8350 with 8GB, Win 8.1 (not convinced on Win10 yet so Radeons are out)
Already picked up a pair of 500GB Samsung Evo 970s in BF sales (and a PCIe adapter card to run one, as my MB is too old), those were a much easier decision! Half of me wants to hold off for 7nm. Though if a 2070 was £400 I think I might have snapped one up without much hesitation.
