![]() That being the case the GTX 1070 is more than capable of delivering an enjoyable gaming experience at either 1080p or 1440p in Death Stranding. So it comes as little surprise to find the GTX 1070 makes out just fine, delivering over 100 fps even at 1440p using the nightmare settings.ĭeath Stranding plays well using the Radeon RX 580 and here the GTX 1070 offers 25-30% more performance at well over 60 fps, even at 1440p using the second highest quality preset. We've seen previously that Doom Eternal runs exceptionally well on the RX 580 and even the older R9 390. Then at 1440p the 1070 dips below 60 fps using the medium preset and therefore those seeking more frames will require the low or lowest preset. We're looking at around 25-30% more performance in Shadow of the Tomb Raider with the GTX 1070 and that allows for well over 60 fps at 1080p using respectable quality settings, such as the medium preset which still looks very good. That's a solid result and plenty of performance at respectable quality settings for gamers to enjoy this title. We're looking at a ~35% performance boost and that meant well over 60 fps at 1080p using even the favor quality preset and then over 60 fps at 1440p using the original quality preset. The GTX 1070 was also in a completely different class when testing with Horizon Zero Dawn. Even at 1440p performance was good, 66 fps using medium was a great experience and even 53 fps with the high quality settings wasn't bad, it was also an impressive 61% performance increase over the RX 580. The GTX 1070 proves once again that it's still very capable of tackling the latest games, this time pushing well over 60 fps in Outriders using the high quality preset. So excellent performance overall, especially for 1080p gamers. This meant that at 1080p it was possible to achieve over 80 fps even with the high quality preset, while comparable performance was possible at 1440p using low. This was far less of an issue with the GTX 1070 which was between 35 and 45% faster at 1080p, and then around 40-50% faster at 1440p. Next up we have Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege and here the GTX 1070 was blistering fast, leaving the RX 580 behind by a 16% margin at 1080p and 1440p when using the medium and high quality settings.įor those seeking 200+ fps the medium quality preset at 1080p will work, and for the slightly more casual 120+ gamers you'll get away with high even at 1440p.īiomutant was a bit of a struggle to run on the RX 580, especially with the high quality preset. It also means that you can get decent experience at 1440p using the low quality settings, which is not amazing, but it's a nice step up from the Radeon RX 580 and with both priced very competitively right now on the second hand market, it does make the GeForce GPU a much better buy. That's a great result for the aging GeForce GPU as it means it was good for around 60 fps at 1080p using the medium quality settings and then 70 fps with low. Starting with Assassin's Creed Valhalla we see that at 1080p the GTX 1070 is around 15% faster than the RX 580 and around 10% faster at 1440p. Just to make sure nothing's changed in that time, we'll be comparing the GTX 1070 head-to-head with the RX 580 8GB in 15 games at 1080p and 1440p using a range of quality settings.īefore we jump into all the blue bar graphs, a few quick notes on the test system.Īll testing has been conducted on our Ryzen 9 5950X test system using 32GB of DDR4-3200 CL14 memory and the latest available display driver, so the results are going to be entirely GPU limited. In a normal market, that's a laughably bad deal, but today it's actually decent and it certainly beats buying a RX 580 for the same money, especially given that model was selling brand new for ~$150 about two years ago. ![]() The GTX 1070 launched in mid 2016 with an MSRP of $380 and today you're paying roughly that price for a used model. However, if you're willing to spend what should be RTX 3060 Ti money ( $400) on an old GeForce GTX 1070, that means you could get to enjoy all the latest and greatest games using respectable quality settings. As ridiculous as that sounds – and it is – this is a decent deal and makes the GTX 1060 one of the cheaper and better value graphics cards you can pick up at the moment. ![]() Later we moved on to the much more affordable GeForce GTX 1060 6GB which could comfortably be had for around $300, or $50 above the MSRP set 5 years prior. Most recently it seems to be going back down, so something to watch. It all started with the Radeon RX 580 8GB which was $300 when we started recommending it earlier in the year, but sadly by the time we got to it, the asking price had skyrocketed to $400-500 a piece. Over the past few weeks we've been checking out previous-gen graphics cards, which could be used as a stop-gap solution to the GPU shortage if you can get them second hand for a good price. ![]()
