    Looking to get my self a nice xmas present as I think its time to retire the 7970's I have.
    looking for some input as the rig its self is getting on a bit
    currently have
    I5 3570k 16ddr3 and 7970 in crossfire with res at 1440p.
    if I was looking to get a 1070 ti would the cpu bottleneck it??. am I better off waiting and upgrading the whole rig?
    half looking at this gpu

    Pretty sure the general consensus is that the 1070Ti is too close in terms of price but not performance to a 1080 to justify buying it. Spend the little extra and get the 1080

    Overclock the CPU & it won't be a bottleneck.
