Guest MadMonkey Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 My boss won 15k at the casino this weekend and wants to buy me a new graphics card. Should I go with a 1070 or 980 ti? I have a 550 or 600 power source with a i5 6600k.
Guest RTL Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 1070 hands down! I use it and its a beast! Also I think your PSU is low for the older 980 ti
Guest marpla Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 Now that's a good boss by far, congrats @CPL.MadMonkey=US= you probably need new Power source too tell that to the boss :D
Guest ShotgunSelfy Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 1070 for sure. Dont event think about the 980ti... Is your boss hiring? :D
Guest MadMonkey Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks guys. He has a 750 power source laying around somewhere I might snag off him. He is the one who built my computer. All I had to buy was a board, ram, and processor. He gave me the 760 sc, cooler master case, mouse, keyboard, hard drives, fans, and everything else a while back. He has been blowing his casino winnings on all his favorite employees, bought one guy a new surround sound system and another a 50 inch 4k TV. I'm also getting bosses old 50" 4k tv.
Guest MadMonkey Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 And I'm getting XB1 with a bunch of games instead. He didn't want to waste the money on a 1070, gettin me a 1080 in Jan.
Guest RTL Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 So lets talk interview dates, ill be available anytime between now and whenever for our boss to talk to me about working there ;)
Guest MadMonkey Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 haha, so far dude has blown through 5k just on employees.
Guest MadMonkey Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 and just so everyone knows, I only make 600 a week. Not exactly a job to brag about, just got lucky and work directly for one of the owners so I get some special perks.
Guest SiliconShock Posted November 28, 2016 Posted November 28, 2016 That's more then what I make in a week, your doing pretty well..
Guest Soulforged Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 I would definitely go for the 1070. You shouldn't see any bottlenecking with that processor either. See this document. A 500W PSU theoretically should be enough as it's stated in the minimum specs (CLICKIE) but if you're running a bunch of devices requiring powered USB's (such as a Blackwidow lighted keyboard) you might want to think about getting something around 750. So snagging the one he has lying around can't hurt. That's pretty darn cool of him! Grats.
Guest RET.GEN.Darmine Posted November 29, 2016 Posted November 29, 2016 Your PSU will run a 1070/1080 just fine.
