Title.

 

Both are refrence styled cards, the 1070ti is PNY and the Vega 56 is a Powercolor, the seller can provide me with the receipt to make use of the warranty on the 1070ti of which has over 2 years remaining, the Vega 56 on the otherhand has no warranty.

 

I will be buying a 1440p 144hz monitor at some point and so I want the card with the best performance for this. I play games like WoW, Blackout, Assasins creed, Overwatch and others.

 

What do you guys think?

I would personally go for the Vega card. Use the money you saved to buy a different graphics card cooler and you'll have a good performer.

 

What I can't speak for is the warranty though, if it were Asus or MSI then the warranty would be basically worthless but I don't know how good PNY RMA services are.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I'd get the Vega 56 and overclock it.

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.
