June 13, 20178 yr Two and a half years ago, I purchased a GTX 970. I also purchased an 4770K cpu. If I were upgrade the 970 to a 1080 Ti, would how unevenly would these be matched. I will be soon getting P3D v4.
June 13, 20178 yr They don't really need to match. You'll always be swapping a CPU bottleneck for a GPU bottleneck so get whatever you can afford. The 1080Ti is a great card and if you have the means, you should definitely get one. P3Dv4 taxes the GPU a good bit, especially with the new dynamic lighting engine. Garrett Frank
June 15, 20178 yr I just had the same decision to make and went with the 1080gtx instead as it was significantly cheaper. I'm running P3D v4 and am very happy with the decision. Not convinced the Ti would make a big difference in P3D. Formally screen name was Alex_YSSY until the forum software ate my account ^_^
June 18, 20178 yr I think it would be worth the expense especially now that the cost of a 1080 is decreasing. The 4770K is a great cpu. The stronger 1080 will add years of life to your rig plus if down the road VR is of interest to you it'll work fine.
June 18, 20178 yr I think you should download P3D v4 and try with your gtx 970 i run a 970 and it can get overwhelmed if I run high settings but my system is also weaker because of my 2500K | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
