was going to get a 1070 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01GXOX3SW/?tag=pcp0f-20
but i could get a used 1080 for 100$ more https://www.zotac.com/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1080-founders-edition
would it be worth it to get the 1080 instead?

The Zotac is a Founders Edition card. Avoid it.

/e A 1080 is a smart choice. Just get an MSI or an ASUS, non-founders edition.

simply put if your gona game only at/around 1080p the Gtx 1070 is MORE then what you need, if your goal is only to play @ 4k Resolution then i would go with a Gtx 1080.

Don't buy Gigabyte any other brand is ok, EVGA and Msi are best.


Also i dont care if the card looks like a bag of dick's it gets stuck in your case and never saw again.

Hope this has helped welcome to Pm me if you need any more info
