Have you tried it? There are guys with 1070s struggling to run Forza. |
Not yet, I'm still on w7. But, looking at youtube the 1050Ti does more than a decent job, even when paired with low budget CPUs. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I bought a PS1 and PS2 at launch.
Instead of a PS3, I got a Xbox 360 because the gf thought that I'd want that.
Spent 9 years happily banging away on the 360, and bought a PS3 second hand a few years ago for the exclusives that I wanted to play (The Last Of Us mainly). I've now given that to my lad (and yesterday I picked up 20 PS3 games for £20 *mainly decent, including a COD game, a couple of GTA's (4 and liberty city stories), some racing games etc) and it is still decent, but I am glad that I got the 360.
When it came to the new consoles, I originally wanted to get one at launch, but life got in the way and I didn't upgrade until recently.
My initial choice was the PS4, based on MS's DRM plans, always on connection requirements, and spec. But then I realised that I have 10 years of impulsive XBox Live purchases, and a decent library of games, as well as paying for XBox Live Gold and the free games that come monthly (the 360 games have been XBOne compatible every month for some time now).
My friends were pretty much PS4 leaning, but a lot swapped in and went Xbox One (and some went the other way) but now my friends list is about 50/50.
I also got offered an Xbox One 500Gb console, with 4 games, 2 pads, two headsets and some rechargeable batteries and charger for £125. I took their hand off so quickly it was like they had osteoperosis.
Again. Really enjoying the XBox one. A portable HDD is a necessity, but other than that, I like it. I still have an eye open for a rediculously priced PS4, but I've got next gen gaming again. ____________________ thx1138 wrote: Well if you had a car, I'd bet it would smell like urine had had drunken sex with vomit and made a poo baby.

This +1
Here's a short list of the more powerful consoles of their own generation:
1) Atari Jaguar
2) Sega Saturn
3) Panasonic 3DO
4) PC engine
5) Neo Geo
6) Sega 32X
7) Atari Lynx
8) TurboExpress (play PC engine games on go)
9) Game Gear
10) PS Vita
All very powerful, the handhelds far superior to what was available, ahead of their time to a certain extent. But, having the best HW doesn't always mean having the best platform and looking at that list, it was one failure after another.
Except maybe the PC engine, depends on the region.
What does this tell us? It's all about the games. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
