SAW A SIMILAR THREAD A FEW PAGES BEYOND....SELLING MY 970 AND GETTING A 1070
Is it worth upgrading to a 1070 or 1080 from my 970? I do not overclock, but would overclocking get me a performance increase that would save me until next gen of cards come out?
50-60%-But there is chance nv will refresh pascal cards pretty soon.We can expect they rename GTX1080 with faster ram to GTX1070 offering 30-35% performance boost over old GTX1070.Is it worth upgrading to a 1070 or 1080 from my 970?

You've been in these forums long enough to know where to find this info.
A 1070 should offer significant performance increase over your 970 if you're playing demanding games.

Just like with kepler.GTX680 renamed to GTX770 with faster ram and core.GTX1080 will be same.It will be next GTX1170 or whatever(5-10%faster than current GTX1080).New GTX1180 will be on cutdown GP102 just like GTX780 was cutdown GK110.While a performance increase is an given the difference will not be this huge, that puts it above the current 1080 which if the card is named the 1070ti it is highly unlikely to be faster than the former. But ill wait and see because anything is possible.
