gtz 980ti vs 1070

[Dalynx]

which one should i get guys (try to keep the budget around £400 for each and please say why you picked which one and which version of it you think is the best, thanks

 

okay so i've rounded up the answers and it seems 980ti ti fit the budget and 1070 to fit the poor innocent electric bill, so okay how about this

these are the 3 i've narrowed it down too, any votes on the best one ??

They are about the same in performance but the 1070 consumes less power so the 1070.

what version of it though as they all cost different prices and all overclock differently ? and the 980ti has come in a lot cheaper

I have a 1080 strix so i could recommend the Strix or Evgas SC

there are 3 different strix's all for VERY different prices and how much are the sc's?

[Enderman]

1070 because it runs cooler, quieter, uses less power, has never features, etc...

Unless you can get a 980ti for like $100 less than a 1070, it's not worth it.

The SC seems to be 416£

1070

performance wise they are very similar but the 1070 has a much lower power draw, support new features and come with an extra 2GB of video memory...it's a clear win for the 1070 on every front (i have a GTX 980ti...poor me :p)

no way thats a great price, would it beat the msi gameing X ?

the 1070 on average is much more expensive though

I don't know anything about msi's cards so...

 

But it's 416£ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01GVHNWUK/?tag=pcp0f-21

you said 400 for both?!

 

here are the extra features for the 1070...if the 980ti is like 80 less or more...i vote 980ti...otherwise...1070

 

Architectural improvements of the GP100 architecture include the following:^[4][5][6]

• In Pascal, an SM (streaming multiprocessor) consists of 64 CUDA cores. Maxwell packed 128, Kepler 192, Fermi 32 and Tesla only 8 CUDA cores into an SM; the GP100 SM is partitioned into two processing blocks, each having 32 single-precision CUDA Cores, an instruction buffer, a warp scheduler, 2 texture mapping units and 2 dispatch units.
• CUDA Compute Capability 6.0.
• High Bandwidth Memory 2 – some cards feature 16 GiB HBM2 in four stacks with a total of 4096bit bus with a memory bandwidth of 720 GB/s
• Unified memory – A memory architecture, where the CPU and GPU can access both main system memory and memory on the graphics card with the help of a technology called "Page Migration Engine".
• NVLink – A high-bandwidth bus between the CPU and GPU, and between multiple GPUs. Allows much higher transfer speeds than those achievable by using PCI Express; estimated to provide between 80 and 200 GB/s.^[7][8]
• 16-bit (FP16) floating-point operations (colloquially "half precision") can be executed at twice the rate of 32-bit floating-point operations ("single precision")^[9] and 64-bit floating-point operations (colloquially "double precision") executed at half the rate of 32-bit floating point operations.^[10]
• More registers - twice the amount of registers per CUDA core compared to Maxwell.
• More shared memory.
• Dynamic load balancing scheduling system.^[11] This allows the scheduler to dynamically adjust the amount of the GPU assigned to multiple tasks, ensuring that the GPU remains saturated with work except when there is no more work that can safely be distributed to distribute.^[11] Nvidia therefore has safely enabled asynchronous compute in Pascal's driver.^[11]
• Instruction-level and thread-level preemption.^[12]

Architectural improvements of the GP104 architecture include the following:^[3]

• CUDA Compute Capability 6.1.
• GDDR5X – New memory standard supporting 10Gbit/s data rates, updated memory controller.^[13]
• Simultaneous Multi-Projection - generating multiple projections of a single geometry stream, as it enters the SMP engine from upstream shader stages.^[14]
• DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0b
• Fourth generation Delta Color Compression
• Enhanced SLI Interface - SLI interface with higher bandwidth compared to the previous versions.
• PureVideo Feature Set H hardware video decoding HEVC Main10(10bit), Main12(12bit) & VP9 hardware decoding
• HDCP 2.2 support for 4K DRM protected content playback & streaming(Maxwell GM200 & GM204 lack HDCP 2.2 support, GM206 supports HDCP 2.2)^[15]
• NVENC HEVC Main10 10bit hardware encoding
• GPU Boost 3.0
• Asynchronous compute^[16]
• Dynamic load balancing scheduling system.^[11] This allows the scheduler to dynamically adjust the amount of the GPU assigned to multiple tasks, ensuring that the GPU remains saturated with work except when there is no more work that can be safely distributed to distribute.^[11] Nvidia therefore has safely enabled asynchronous compute in Pascal's driver.^[11]
• Instruction-level preemption.^[12] In graphics tasks, the driver restricts this to pixel-level preemption because pixel tasks typically finish quickly and the overhead costs of doing pixel-level preemption are much lower than performing instruction-level preemption.^[12]Compute tasks get thread-level or instruction-level preemption.^[12] Instruction-level preemption is useful because compute tasks can take long times to finish and there are no guarantees on when a compute task finishes, so the driver enables the very expensive instruction-level preemption for these tasks.^[12]

i mean a good version of the 1070 lol, like a high end one.

[Shubham Yadav]

The 980ti overclocks better. So if it's cheaper, I would get it over the 1070.

you don't need high end with a 180W GPU...anything with a custom fan design is good...ideally IMHO a 2 fan version...like the cheap gigabyte ones or the msi armor for example is way way good.

that's a very good card...color scheme is neutral...EVGA customer service is flawless and you can change the leds color...it's a perfect choice.

do you have questions while i'm here?

its on average 40 to 80 pound cheaper

The features of the 1070 are cool, and the low power is great. But if the 980ti is that much cheaper, it's a no brainer really. 

 

Just get a good version of 980ti, since better version is usually higher bin and will OC better.

40 not worth it...80 might be depending on the version...the 980ti can reach 280 to 300W from the wall once clocked properly so a good cooling design is mendatory...this is a huge hot chip...the 1070 is not.

Gaming X would be the better card. The SC is based off the reference design. 

 

Nobody wants the reference slows.
