It might, but that is still a great GPU. You could perhaps use the PC itself minus the GPU to sell and then upgrade your current rig unless this is a full replacement rig you're looking at getting.Although I am worried about it bottlenecking the cpu
I had a very basic rig with a Ryzen 3 3200g and Rx 580 8gb which I sold, I'm looking for a whole new pc, my idea is to upgrade the CPU within a few monthsIt might, but that is still a great GPU.

I can find the "normal" Wind force 1080 on the site but not an Aorus 8GB model. But yes @Luts_abba the 1080 8GB is very close to the 1070ti models from what I can remember.There's more difference between the 1080 and the 1080ti than just vram.
1080 is closer in performance to 1070ti than it is to the 1080ti.
Ok yea that board can take a much newer spec CPU (something like a R5 5xxx series) with a BIOS update on the board without spending too much on it (check out the QVL here https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350M-MORTAR/support#cpu )I had a very basic rig with a Ryzen 3 3200g and Rx 580 8gb which I sold, I'm looking for a whole new pc, my idea is to upgrade the CPU within a few months
Oh, and in my personal opinion, I would rather bottleneck the CPU as opposed to the GPU. CPU's are much easier to replace and upgrade generally (yes there are a lot of factors to take into account before someone sh!ts me out here).Although I am worried about it bottlenecking the cpu
If we use the Wind force editions on the 1080 8GB and 1070 tiThere's more difference between the 1080 and the 1080ti than just vram.
1080 is closer in performance to 1070ti than it is to the 1080ti.
Thanks alot for your help, you made my mind up and I'll probably purchase the pc, I've seen the motherboard CPU support but I never realised that it needs a bios update for later CPUs, will have to check that outOk yea that board can take a much newer spec CPU (something like a R5 5xxx series) with a BIOS update on the board without spending too much on it (check out the QVL here https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350M-MORTAR/support#cpu )
Considering the spec on storage as well this is a very good deal for what you are getting.
Yea you can at least run the BIOS update on the machine while you have the older chip which is helpful. Some of the older boards don't have that nice USB BIOS Flash utility that doesn't need the CPU / RAM matching the original QVL. Of course there are caveats with this regard but otherwise good luck and happy gaming.Thanks alot for your help, you made my mind up and I'll probably purchase the pc, I've seen the motherboard CPU support but I never realised that it needs a bios update for later CPUs, will have to check that out
