I really want to do this now that I know the ACX will be OK in my unusual case but that just means I'll be able to justify going from 1920x1200 to 2560x1440 and this few hundred dollar upgrade will turn into $1200.

Not sure its worth the extra 300 bucks, the 1070 should handle 1440 fairly well. Keep in mind that the step up will likely take a few months. EVGA have been putting all their 1080 chips into premium cards. They might not have the ACX version for awhile. You could always get into the que and decide later.

Just like coming from a 980 Ti (which I have researched extensively) which has very, very close performance to a 1070 (stock to stock, and OC to OC), there is about a 15 to 30% difference depending on clocks and games tested.
Is that 15 to 30% worth it? That's a question that only you can answer.

I think the price difference is actually worth it this generation for the 1070 to 1080. The ratio of cost to performance seems more balanced over the previous premium priced gtx 980 to 970.

Cool GTX, nobody pays any attention to the memory bandwidth nor the texture fill rate. You and I both know the 1070 will tank first before the 1080. Sorry, I don't mean to come off so sharply, but it blows my mind away that everybody focuses on the speed portion of the video card but pay no attention to anything else. ------------------>They're priced the way they are for a reason<------------------

Definitely worth it. There's something to be said for more cores, faster memory, and if you get an FTW or Classy, stupidly high boost speeds to boot. I would bypass getting a reference cooled card, and look for a SC or FTW (or if you can find one a classy) simply because the ref 1080 design is a bit under-powered for the 1080's heat output... it can throttle, and an FE 1080 is a pricey thing compared to even an FTW 1080.
Get a 1080, and FTW is the sweet spot for price - performance.

The 1080 FE, the 1080 ACX 3.0, and the 1080 BE (Blower Edition, not a FE cooler but same overall type) are the only current step up options. Rarely does EVGA throw in SC or SSC models, and I've never seen the FTW, Classified, or Kingpin editions as a step up option.

You can get somewhat close with a highly over clocked 1070 or 980 Ti, but as soon as you OC the 1080 it jumps ahead 10 to 15%.
Except if the person with the 1080 has an old CPU. Then it is possible for someone else's 1070 or 980 Ti (with a strong CPU) to beat out the other persons 1080.

I was thinking about doing the step up program too for this exact scenario, but right now my 1070 FTW is working flawlessly for 1440p gaming. I think the better solution is wait a year and get another 1070 FTW when they go on sale and SLI them for way more superior performance than a single 1080.

I've submitted a step-up from a 1070 SC to the 1080 ACX 3.0 - Everything I've found shows that this will be a good upgrade. Plus, if I want something quieter I can add the Hybrid Cooler down the line.

I too am going from the 1070 sc to the 1080 gaming acx. With all the memory issues and me seeing the flickering I think it's just better to move to a superior card for the price difference.
