Can a GTX 1070 run the next 4-5 year games on 1080p/900p low settings?
It is difficult to predict what will happen in next 3 or 4 years as game graphics is evolving a lot. For example take GTX 960. It still can play most of the games on 1366x768 and on high settings except few games where you need to tweak a little bit. It was released around Jan 2015 and so after more than two years it is still going good.Regarding 1070, it has huge 30 to 40% performance gain over 1060. Basically it is made for 3k or 4k gaming experience just slightly cheaper version of 1080 and has 20 to 40% less performance. So personally I think it can work for at least 4 years easily on 1080p monitor on high settings. And you can easily play on ultra settings for next 1–2 years. So if you are trying to buy it go for it. And if you want best graphics card in the market then go for 1080Ti though wait for official release as it has high cost now.PS- If you are from India then I will suggest you to order from US if you know someone because you will get better deal there.
Is an i3 Processor good for gaming?
Now I can not give you the best answer but I can sure as hell try. At the moment I have an i3 6100. It does it’s job relatively well and I am yet to have problems with it. For a while (because I am an idiot…) I was running Overwatch on my integrated graphics. *FacePalm*. It was able to run on low with shadows off for around 45 fps. There is also something weird with my Windows 10 that I will get back to later. So far the i3 has been doing the job fairly well and I am very happy with it. You should probably go for a i5 though it is just as someone else said more bang for your buck. If you have more money then go for an i7. I think for the price of it it does the job it is supposed to do decently well.From my experience I am very pleased with my i3. I was worried it wouldn’t be that good but it does it’s job quite well. I would’ve went with i5 6th gen but I kind of didn’t have a lot of money at the time and still don’t. :’( . I am hopefully going to get a job next year and I will be able to save my money up and upgrade my computer. It is hard to upgrade your pc when your 16 without a job. I don’t know if this even answered the question well I hope it did.Down to the question that I had. In Nvidia control panel in the manage 3d options you can set your graphics settings for your various applications. There is supposed to be a drop down bar that says choose preferred graphics processor. I don’t have that setting on my control panel. I have to change every setting manually which isn’t that big of a deal but it gets annoying every time I download a game. If someone could help me with that I would appreciate it. :P
