gtx 1070's are suppose to be about $350, so not really a good deal. zotac is also a questionable/bad brand, i would avoid them and stick with the big brands like asus, msi, gigabyte.

Thanks ... or maybe this MSI 1O6O for $340? 6GB but only 1280 CUDA cores ...

Normally, I would have stayed put for a while longer, and just simply tolerate the other system running slower than a snail for a while longer. This is because there are no good new GPU options in your price range, as some of those that are currently available are actually slower than your current GTX 970.

On the other hand, have you ever thought about staying put on your main editing rig, and simply upgrading the GPU on the secondary rig to something like a GTX 1050 Ti?


I was hoping for something a bit ... more, shall we say?

How do the 1050's actually do, with all that minimalist ... stuff?  Sigh.

(And I have looked at some 1080's also ... but would rather not chunk the $780 or so at the moment ... )

I currently have a GTX970 in my main editing rig ... we've upgraded another computer so that it can also do some editing work, but it needs a GPU better than an older Radeon. So my 970 will be going to that machine, I'll upgrade this rig to do so ... ergo, the question about the 1070.

And I do a lot of 4k->1080 timelines, and well ... yea, I'm heavy at throwing Lumetri around also.
