Question on 1070 vs 1080

Thinking of getting a new apollo but waiting for the nonreference/discounts from DS.

Meanwhile I'd like to ask since I don't know any better.

Since this is the first time my computer buying time = release of new cards so me able to buy the time of the line (1080) is definitely something I want to pursue in terms of "future proofing". I know i know, you can't future proof, but you know what i mean, getting the best now so I can delay upgrading as long as i can. (i'll have you know, I am still running my ATI 5870 since 2010, granted I have to RMA for another with DS once in 2012, but I'm still using 5870 lol)

But i've been reading more and more than unless I'm running 1440 or something I don't need it. So just want to ask here once and for all.

Simplicity sake, let's say I am currently using 2x U2415 IPS monitor from Dell. I don't do any photo editing, just Play graphic intensive games like Doom and web surfing.

Not sure about VR at all but i think 1070 can do VR too?

A side question is, anything above a 24 inch for gaming is too big right? so meaning if i run 24 inch only, there's no way I'll be running 1440 rite? so meaning no need for 1080 at all?

thanks...more questions probably later lol

Hi there, sorry for the confusion.

I only game on one monitor while watching YouTube on the other lol.

I don't think gaming on a more it or larger than 24inch is optimal unless I sit farther n farther away lol.

So with that in mind looks like 1070 is the best choice then?

Ya 1070 is more then enough
