Well get back to us, because I'm curious too. I know the 1070's on laptops aren't cut down versions like they used to be, so I'd like to know since I'm in the market.

Not sure if right place to ask, will this support 21:9?
DA:I supported 21:9
The 1070 and the 980 Ti are very close to each other in performance so you will probably see very similar performance on both of your systems.

You should run well ahead of PS4 settings with that rig. No need to do anything rash just yet.
But if he is on 8GB RAM and can get another 8 for decent price then why not? Can leave that Chrome open when playing games
it's impossible for that cpu to bottleneck anything.
any cpu above 3.2 ghz is more than enough for any game out there.

I think I'll be OK, hopefully at 1440p/60. My rig struggled with Rise of the Tomb Raider a bit at 1440p/60, I was usually between 35-60 but it got choppy at points. I also had the HairFX on which I know is super taxing.
I might be tempted to play it at 1080p/120 since my TV can handle it, if the game supports 120hz properly. I haven't really played anything at 120hz yet.

Sure, if he's on 8GB that might be worth while. What games are actually giving 8GB issues these days? I've been on 16 for almost two years, but the most I've seen a game consume is around 6GB for CoD Advanced Warfare (though I may have just not checked RAM usage for some other games I've played more recently).
WildLands, Division, DICE games, TW3 and GTAV at least love RAM and will use it if it's there. Maybe not using 10GB by themselves, but when you have games that stream actively data in and out of memory having more of it available for use will lessen swapping. More is put into memory and swapped out less often if at all.
Edit: Friend is sitting on 8 and just few days ago complained how it's noticeable in any open world game

Interesting. Not sure I ever bothered to check usage in the Witcher or any DICE games to this point. Now that you mentioned it I remember GTA5 did get my total usage very close to 50%.

Yeah, that should pretty easily run it better than the PS4.

I'm always nervous when Frostbite is in anyone's hands other than Dice. Inquisition has performance issues to this day and the stuttering cut scenes were never fixed even when running at 60 fps. I'll see how it goes but I'll wait to hear impressions from the EA early access guys.

Would that give me an origin code for downloading the game? My pc doesn't have a disk drive.
Edit: just checked it out on Amazon and it says no disk. So it looks like I'd get a code. 20% off is a decent deal. Im thinking I'll get this version. Thanks for the tip.
Hey so i just found this thread and wanted to ask if my Setup would be fine (want to max as much as possible)
This is what im working with:
Processor: i7-4790K OC´d to 4,4Ghz
Ram: 16GB
GPU: GTX 980
But the problem is im running a 165Hz G-sync monitor @ 1440p and i want to have stable 140+ Fps or i puke
Would you guys say i need to upgrade to a 1070 or even a 1080Ti for this to work for me ?

I probably won't be able to play this in 4K on my machine, but I should hopefully be able to get 60 FPS at 1920x1080 resolution.
I'm a little below the recommended specs.

You want 1440p/140fps+, on what settings? I have reasoned doubts, that even a 1080 Ti will do it, on all Ultra.
Isn't that what G-Sync is for though?
Thats what im not sure of tbh :/
But what i hear ME:A as a Frostbite game is probably well optimized.
I do not need all on Ultra but as much as possible. (Im ok with not having silky smooth shadows or thigns i cant even see like SMAA sometimes)
Just made the switch to a high refresh rate monitor and feel like i cant go back in fast paced games, 140fps+ is not mandatory just the dream but solid 100 would be nice^^

Origin has a great refund policy so you could easily test and refund it if it doesn't work for you.

And you want 1440p on Ultra?
Gsync doesn't really do anything at frameratea that high regardless. If I didn't know any better if think this was some kind of joke post. And yeah even a 1080ti might struggle to pull off what you're apparently looking for.
Not sure what version I should get.
Mass Effect has always been a console experience for me, and I have a Ps4 Pro and 1080P TV currently.
My PC specs are:
980TI
3570k @ Stock
SSD
16 GB RAM
1440P Monitor
I might just hold off for some performance reviews before I jump in, as Horizon is keeping me busy at the moment anyway.

980 is only as good as 1060. You can only get Ultra 1080p 60fps if the requirement is accurate.
You will need 1080Ti SLI if you want Ultra 1440p 144fps. And even the I don't think you'll get a 144fps lock.
Have you considered overclocking your 3570k?
Regardless, you should probably be fine at that resolution with your current specs.
Are you sure not even a 1080Ti(which is designed for 4k @60fps) is not enough for 1440p ME:A ???
Im just confused as i read Frostibe is such a well optimized engine.
And as said i dont need 140Fps but about 100-120 would be nice even if i need to turn down some settings thats why i askes if a 1070 would be enough i mean a 1080ti here in austria costs 820 which is not a small investement.

The CPU is going to be a problem. Go PS4 or upgrade CPU.
Good to know. Thanks...ps4 it is.

The real question is what is a 1060 doing paired with that trash Pentium..

Upgraded my RAM from 8gb to 16gb this weekend. Got an i5-4690k and a GTX 970 (both slightly overclocked). I should be good to run this on "high" settings at a solid 60fps on my 1080p monitor, right? Or does she need more power Captain?

We'll see once it comes out, but yeah you should be fine.
It was $50.　The real question is what is a 1060 doing paired with that trash Pentium..
Whats the cheapest cpu I can pair it with for current gen games?

You should be able to track down a non-K Haswell i5 for well under $200. 4460 maybe.It was $50.

I see my old ass 650 ti Boost will be no help here. Probably going to play on PS4 until i can grab a 1060/1070 later this year

Nope, you need a 1080ti for 900p ultra.
You should easily be able to. I think the recommended specs are a bit on the high side. I would check out the trial on Origin Access if you are able just to see how things run.

lol good luck getting it to run at 1440p@165Hz
Not even the Titan XP can do that

It was sarcasm.
Because, you know, asking if a 1070 can handle a game at 1600x900 is beyond ridiculous.
Sometimes I wonder how people spend so much money on PC hardware, and understand so little about what they purchased.

I have a GTX 780 and an OC'ed i5 2500k. At this point I hope to be able to get at least 30 FPS at 1080p.
