Hey guys,

 

What are your thought on the 1070ti. I got one during Black Friday for about the price of a 1070. Unfortunately, they had run out of 1080's which is what I was going for. Friends are telling me it's a bad card for the money.

 

Thanks,

for that price the card is FANTASTIC* 

 

* you have to OC it manually.

Is there much head room on the OC? I got the Gaming X version.

Normally no, every single nvidia 10 series graphics card EXCEPT the 1070ti has overclocks out of the factory.

 

The 1070ti has the largest headroom of all the 10 series cards, such that it can match or even beat a stock 1080.

The 1070 Ti is a 1080 for the 1070 price, great card to acquire nowadays.

How can you compare an OC'd card to a stock card? Obviously if you have a 1080 it will self OC with GPU Boost 3 as well as any manual OC added on top, apples to apples man...

 

1070ti is a card between the 1070 and 1080. Simple as that. And a pointless addition might I add...

7800x3d - RTX 4090 FE - 64GB-6000C30 - 2x2TB 990 Pro - 4K 144HZ

its not qute a 1080 for the price of a 1080 generally, which is shit value. it performs like the Vega 56 mostly, and costs more. on this sale however it was a pretty decent deal though

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

once the 1070ti is overclocked it's not much different from the 1080, only a slight lead for the 1080 after overclocking it. some don't want to OC their cards and silicon lottery so i'd still recommend the 1080 sometimes.

its behind the 1080, costs like the 1080, so how does it make sense again when you can buy a better card for the same money? its not quite a 1080, that costs like the 1080

when it's overclocked, it performs like a 1080. look at the video i linked. and the cheapest 1070ti right now is $450, while the 1080 starts at $515. not exactly the same price.

Overclocking means f*** all?! Overclock the 1080 and it's ahead again. Pointless argument this is...

Did you bother watching the video? both cards overclocked to their full potential, the 1080 is on average 2fps faster... much wow.

the 1080 after overclocking beat the overclocked 1070ti by... 2 fps in AC:Origins, 3 fps in Destiny 2, 2 fps in F1 2017, 6 fps in project cars 2 and 3 fps in shadow of war. ahead by 2-3 fps means anything?

Nah, I'm at work. Based on what people were writing though it sounded like a 1070ti is being overclocked and compared to a stock 1080. My bad in that case.

 

Either way, both cards will do you fine, used 1080s can be had for less than new 1070ti's as well, so there is that to consider.

Thanks for the input guys.

 

I take on board what you say about the 1080 verse the 1070 ti. I did want a 1080 but there were none of those left on black friday deals. The highest card still on a deal was a 1070ti. So the 1080 was ~£500 (676 USD) and I bought the 1070 ti for £425 (575 USD), so about 100 USD cheaper. The Cheapest 1070 was £388 (524 USD).
