GPU upgrade

[jenxy 12]

Hello.

My current system is:

i7-3770K @ 4.2GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 970 and I run at 2560x1440.

I fly X-Plane, FSXSE and Prepar3d and overall I get satisfactory performance, except at busy airports (which I fully expected).

It's possible (finances permitting) that I may upgrade CPU/MOBO/RAM towards the end of the year (I'll keep an eye on i9 prices).

In the meantime, I'm thinking of buying a GTX 1080 Ti. I know this is a good card. Has anyone gone from a 970 (or similar) to a 1080Ti? Were you happy?

Are you staying 32 bit? If so stay with the 970 it's more than enough. 

Instead oc your cpu to as high as possible.

Sorry, I should have said, WIN10 64 bit.

In that case go for it. 

Edit 

I would oc cpu to as close as possible to 5. 0 ghz 

It's free and it maybe all you need

Thanks for your replies.

Point taken about OC. I'd have to buy a better cooling solution. More to think about...
