Which card would be best for 1440p. the 1070? Or the 1080?
budget? monitor? if you are 144 hz i would go 1080 for the frame rate but you could get buy with around 60-100fps on max settings for most games with a 1070 and 144+ with lower settings.
benchmarks the middle one is 1440
1070
I forgot to incorporate such games as Squad. Where the 1080 is getting 60 fps. This game seems to need all the vram it can. Like 8 gb worth. I world go as far to say that 12gb might help the game if you want to ruin it with stupid stuff like battlefields Destructo physics
Here is this game for reference. Being ran at 1080p.
I am just iffy on the card reviews right now because reviewers are testing them on doom or tomb raider. I wanna see them test it on something like games that are in the unreal 4 engine where everything is getting pushed. And I know that this game is in pre alpha. But squad, It is still a very demanding title.
A GTX1070 is more then capable enough for 1440P single monitor gaming.
If you ever like to go with a tripple monitor setup or what not, then a GTX1080 might be a better buy.
