New Gfx card question

**krehztim** · 11-29-2016, 06:06 PM

Anyone have experience/feedback for Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070? Have one rig currently with Geforce GT 730 (2 GB dedicated). Looking for a good card in the $400 or less price range. I'm assuming going from 730 to 1070 will probably require new power supply as well? Thanks in advance.

Looks like if you want something in the $400 range you should go with another 1070. Why do you need 2 high end cards? Are you mining?

It is a power efficient card. If you only have one a 500 watt power supply will be enough.

I've just got the low-end card right now (2 GB), am looking to completely replace it with either a 1060 (6GB) or 1070 (8GB). For $150 less, I'm thinking the $250 1060 will be a decent upgrade, and the 1070 might be more than I need anyway. Thanks for the tip on the power. I've got a 500w, I was hoping not to have to upgrade the PSU.
