Which card for build? 2070 super or 1080ti?

[Lipsmoker]

Hey! I'm upgrading from an AMD 8350FX and hd7950 (I know... yikes) To a 3700x ryzen But I'm wondering what's going to be better for what I need.

 

I'm streaming Minecraft mostly with shaders (and struggling with the shaders on) But I'd like to move into more graphically demanding titles without my hd7950 bursting into flames and my 8350 melting into a pile of mush, I legit have my streams buffer when my fps drops in minecraft and that's only at 720p...

 

I'd like to also do some video editing, *Sony vegas mainly, montages and stuff, Would i be better suited with a 1080ti or a 2070 super? I'm out of the loop when it comes to new cards and these cards both have my attention atm. I know the 2070 super is massively newer, BUT it doesn't seem to push much harder than the 1080ti.. or am i mistaken? If possible I'd LIKE to stream at 2k. But 1080 is fine if not.

 

Thanks!

any price difference? which custom models?

it's mainly a feature update with RT and Tensor cores. There's also updated NVENC encoder.

I would get whichever is cheaper. 1080ti is pretty hard to find a fair deal on. Also consider the 5700 XT.

Should save $200-140 and get an RX 5700, blower cards go on sale under $300 sometimes, after market ones are $360

 

it has like 80-90% of the 2070 super's performance depending on just turning the power slider to +50%

The 2070 super and 1080ti have basically the same performance otherwise.

 

One has 11GBs of VRAM, the other had some ray tracing stuff

It really depends on how much you can get the cards for. If they're around the same price, you probably should go with the 2070 Super, as it's newer. If the 1080ti is going used for at least $100 less, go with that.

Honestly, Minecraft with shaders is just a bear.

 

I was just talking to my buddy who runs a 5820K OC to 4.5ghz and and he just upgraded to an RTX 2080ti and he still can struggle at times with it. It is just how it is.

 

I'd suggest if you want to stream and get into content creation, just get the RTX 2070S at the minimum as the NVENC for streaming is pretty amazing, RTX is the best for video content creation right now, and you want as much performance as you can get for running Minecraft with shaders.

Thanks!

since you stream. get the 2070 super. it isnt much slower than the 1080ti. in fact oc it and its better than a 1080ti. ofc you can oc the 1080ti too. BUT the 2070 super is newer and really has improved on its "professional" loads.

1080ti will perform better but the 2070 has a better encoder so that might be of interest considering you stream and it also has raytraceing 

[Harry Voyager]

Didn't they actually add ray-tracing to Minecraft recently?

The version for Windows (Bedrock?), yeah. Not the normal Java one.

Thanks!

they're both great cards. personally, i'll go with the 2070 super if you have that option to get it. 2070 super when it comes to video editing will outperform the 1080ti and blow AMD out of the waters. also, newer tech is always nice. i mean, if you have the money for it and it's within your budget to get the 2070 super, then yup... that's the one i'll be going for.

 

if you want to compare FPS alone, 1080ti will outperform the 2070 super. but there's so many things that are left unsaid about 1080 ti vs 2070 super. things like longevity, better utilization, better use of vram with hardly no fps loss, etc... if you include those things, 2070 super is the winner (imo.) All of this is debatable, but yea, just my opinion.
