hey guys i got a quick question
so im running a i5-3570k @4,5ghz (16gb RAM) and an ancient GTX670 (2gb).
Monitoring my system ressources in current games i get the impression that while the CPU is still very much up for the task the gpu is just not suitable anymore for recent games.
so i was wondering if it made sense to just switch the 670 for a 1070 or if that would lead to some serious bottlenecking?

Of course you will have some bottlenecking but it will be a massive boost still.
edit: If you play at 60Hz, then, in my opinion, its worth the upgrade.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Yup, do it. There will be some bottlenecking in some titles, but you'll have enough gains from the upgrade.

Absolutely, it would be a very noticeable upgrade from the previous generation, let alone from a 670. Your mind will be blown, that's pretty much guaranteed

Definitely get a 1070. You'll be surprised. I had an i5-3570K (shrunk i5-2500k) running at 4.5GHz and that is still pushing quite a bit when it comes to performance. There will be few games that will cause you any problems (AC: Origins and similar which tend to love many threads and lots of IPC).
I recently replaced my old i5-3570k-system with a z370-board, 16GB RAM and a temporary i5 8400 (with a slight bclk-overclock to get 100mhz more out of each core) + a 1060 6GB. I did some CPU benchmarks and even though the new CPU is locked and maxes out @ 3.9GHz on all cores even the single core test in cinebench is nearly twice as fast as the 3570k not to mention multi-threaded (2 more cores). In other words, an i5 8400 @ 4.0Ghz (4 core turbo) is much much faster than my old i5 3570k @ 4.5GHz. Still, 3570K + 1070 will blow your mind.

As I'm still rocking similar CPU I would say 1080p -> 1060, 1440p -> 1070, with the maximum considered GPU 1080/2070 anything more powerful is overkill even for 1440p.
Next potential upgrade would then be a used i7-3770k as HT actually make a difference in newer games.

A 3570k can't really push enough data/geometry for 144+ hz monitors (which is what we're discussing here) unless we're talking about simpler games.

Wow, on that site the 2080 really dropped in price, the 2070 not so much.

i got a i7-6700k with a shitty 970, would you guys recommend buying a 1070ti for around 400shickles or wait for 2070 to go down in price (if that ever happens)

Agreed, ultimately it all depends on what are your needs, but if you're okay with accepting some compromises in games (1080p, High details instead of Very High/Ultra, no taxing AA methods etc.) I too believe that waiting is the best option. Especially for that price 
I'm on a similar boat too (only with a considerably older CPU), at this point I'll just see what the next wave of new tech (more mature, more stable, improved™) will offer and then eventually make the complete jump. I'm in no rush though, since the amount of decent triple-A games on PC at the moment is risible.

ixi is right as usual. Unless I had plenty of disposable cash I'd actually wait when it comes to Turing. The games industry must get used to the new hardware so they can actually implement RTX/DLSS as well as find out about the quirks and perks of Turing, NVIDIA must get used to the new architecture and get comfy developing fully stable drivers as well as driver optimizations so you actually get the most out of the card.

I just bought a used 1080ti and the 2080 stuff comes out... Fml... Any point even in me upgrading to a 2080ti? My guess is probably not...

I'll finally be able to brute force my way through console ports though, that's a good thing I guess.
