June 28, 20178 yr Looking to upgrade from my EVGA 970 GTX. Would the EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 SC 8GB PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card be a very noticeable improvement Will use it with P3Dv4 and all of those goodies out there. https://www.walmart.com/ip/GeForce-GTX1080-SC-Gaming-ACX3/52709668 Thanks Randy Smith Intel I7 6700 4.0 CPU Western Digital Caviar 1TB SATA 6.0Gb/s Hard Drive 16GB DDR4 Crucial RAM.

I have the same card (EVGA GTX970) and have been wondering the same thing.

If so you should overclock it first (of course, with the prerequisite that you have good quality cooling). Failing a CPU overclock the 1080 might help if you use high res display(s). Any kind of "noticeable improvement" might just come down to better visuals, though. Also, the FTW series from EVGA offer 10 Phase power while the SC card you linked to uses 5 Phase. A FTW card might be worth the extra cost. HTH, Greg
June 28, 20178 yr Commercial Member If you decide to move, you may want to get a 1080 with 11GB of memory - it's roughly the same price at places like NewEgg and Microcenter. Best wishes.

June 28, 20178 yr A 1080 with 11GB of memory? I wasn't aware a manufacturer is offering that option (outside of the 1080 Ti... which is more expensive). Numerous manufacturers are offering 1080's with 8 GB of 11Gbps memory (GDDR5X). How do we get a 1080 with 11GB of memory? Greg
June 28, 20178 yr Perhaps Dave is speaking about the GTX 1080 ti which does indeed have 11GB ? I9 12900K @5.2Ghz 64 GB DDR4, RTX 4090, Win 11 Pro, 15 TB on 5 SSD's

So with an Intel I7 6700k 4.0 CPU would I see a worth while benefit in spending the extra cash? What would that be?
