content: Very true.  I can run BF1 on ultra 1080p at 70+ FPS constant with an R9 390 and an i7-4790K, on high I am constant over 100 FPS (I use a Freesync monitor).  1070 would beat that.  On top of it, I upgraded from an i5 to that i7 and saw a massive increase in minimum framerate and a good increase in framerate stability.  With the i5 I dropped to 35 FPS at times of high action.  Core speed is part of it but modern games use more threads than they used to and that will only increase as DX12 gains traction.
