I'm still using a GTX 1070. When I was building a new PC 2 years ago I had to decide whether to splurge on a new GPU. I thought about all of the games I played in the last 5 years and realized none of them were GPU intensive (the most intensive was Minecraft with shaders and that one was bottlenecked by my CPU). To this date I don't think I've ever played a game that my GPU couldn't handle.
Me too! I also built around the same time and had to decide whether or not it was worth upgrading... Still going strong for 1080p. (I don't have a 4k monitor anyway)
Ah. I'm using a 2.5k monitor. 1070 seems perfect for that resolution.
I'm also on a 1070, but mine's been trucking along since 2019. I do occasionally play something GPU intensive, but I often avoid going full MAX GRAFFICS because the laptop gets really toasty, which causes visible screen tearing due to most of the hot air being blown straight onto the fucking screen. Great engineering, ASUS, gg.
To be fair, the 10xx series are goddamn workhorses.
The 1070 was an amazing card for it's time but DLSS 3 is a game changer, especially if you game at 4K. But for 1080p and below the 1070 can hold its own. I used one up until last year.
