980Ti vs 1070 Ti

[RAM555789]

So from what I've seen on userbench marks the 980Ti Founders edition is at a stalemate with the founders edition 1070. My question is how would an after market 980Ti like this one https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/used/1234597/?gclid=CJfs4Z7AxNMCFUk8gQodhU8Nvw&c3api=1876%2C52248989522%2C

hold up aginst a 1070 like this? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487320&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Video+Card+-+Nvidia-_-N82E16814487320&gclid=CNTtl43BxNMCFZA7gQodozMGYw&gclsrc=aw.ds

I would prefer the 1070 as it is more power efficient as far as i know.

A GTX 1070ti?

aye, it's the next GPU to launch I heard it's even more powerful than the new titan Xp

 

Also according to user benchmark they are just as good as each other http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-980-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1070/3439vs3609, so go for what every is cheaper, unless you look at those scores and think otherwise

[Droidbot]

980Ti = 1070

HOWEVER

1070 has a  better DX12 implementation with the latest DX12 patch from Nvidia,  as a 1070 owner it pulled 5-10 fps ahead in Forza Horizon 3

Well, alright.. But the link you sent me now is just the normal GTX 1070, not 1070ti.

aye, it's not been announced yet, the only reason I know about it is because I'm from the future

Meanwhile on DX11 a overclocked 980ti beats the 1070 [:

 

Edit: There will be no 1070ti, nVidia Pascal line up ceased with the Titan Xp, new nVidia cards only when Volta comes now.

what happens if you overclock the 1070 though, is it still the same story (I'm generally asking I don't know, as I don't know how well 1070s overclock)

The 980ti scales overclocking better than the 1070, provided the silicon is good and cooling capable enough usually the 980ti overclocked will be slightly faster than the overclocked 1070, at higher energy cost though.

GT/X 1030 apparently to rival rx550

 

and that's true, 980Ti is still a good card

GT/X 1030

a GT1030? now that I had no idea of, sounds very promising for those cheap display adapter solutions, hopefully it is significantly better than the GT730 in price to performance.

1gb of VRam probably lol   

could game on Arma 2 though

2GB GDDR5, apparently.

Really? Maybe we will see a price drop on other 2gb cards then.....

1070

Which one?

[RAM555789]

Right now I'm leaning towards the 980Ti because I'm not really looking into getting into anything beyond like Ark, Rust, Arma 3, Minecraft, and a few others at 1080p 60fps and I like saving money so I'm feeling pretty good about the 980Ti.

[ShoshinUK]

There's really very, very little in it IMO.

 

But there are these 2 main spec differences to consider.

 

1. The 980ti uses significantly more power to run 250 vs 150 TDP

2. The 1070 has more VRAM 8GB vs 6GB

I play alot of Squad in 4K and use a feature called texture streaming, I can use up to 7.8GB VRAM etc. An unusual gaming situation granted but important for me.

Personally I would get an aftermarket 1070.

I also thought a lot about that when upgrading and i chose the 1070 because of more VRAM, the newer architecture and more power-efficient. As cool as such a over-the-top card like a lightning looks and feel... at the end of the day it is mainly the chip on the card which makes a GPU "better" or "worse", which does not mean that you always have to take the "newer" one... if you get a great deal on an older card - well...

I think the piledrivers showed that very well because despite them being capable of insane overclocks they just couldnt beat out Intel chips.

[App4that]

A good 980ti beats a 1070, a great 980ti matches a stock 1080. All a matter of luck. In production a 980ti blows a 1070 out of the water.

Not anymore, I gained about 20fps in my lows and a solid 10-20fps highs in all my DX12 games after 378.78.
