After reading some articles about the 1070, it looks like it's going to be the direct replacement for the 970. I also read that 1070 would be good for 1440p and not 1080 (it's too good for 1080...blows it out of the water, of course). However, I really like the idea of 8G of memory and DX 12 functionality. Now for the question...do I buy a 970 when it drops in price after the 1080/1070 come out in a couple weeks (because I know it does well with 1080p) or do I go with a 1070 because of double the ram and the other functionality? I suppose I could go with the 1070 just so when I upgrade my monitor in the next year or so to a 1440p, it would still be a viable card.
I don't need to upgrade my monitor, but if the 1440's start dropping in price a bit as they become more widely used, that might be a good option. Unless you guys can recommend a 1440p monitor now that you like...I haven't looked at prices or reviews of 1440p monitors yet. I'm looking to build a new desktop computer (which I have asked about here on overclockers and gotten help with) but I'm holding off until the new cards come out to either buy a 970 cheaper or buy a 1070. Thanks for your responses.
