Posted March 27, 2018 Most likely the Ti since you can OC it to very near the performance of the 1080 but it's a fair bit cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 27, 2018 Actually, since you're looking at Volta from your other thread, why are you asking about these two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 27, 2018 Performance difference is minimal. MSI's armor cooler has a hard time keeping the 1080 cool without being noisy, so it's not good unless you plan on fitting a custom cooler like a liquid AIO or big heatsink.

Nice that you asked @kerradeph I’m waiting for volta series but if the prices are too high then this will be my backup cards. Im very desperate to build a gaming rig because I have a very outdated laptop which is good for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know as I watched linus’s video but I’m getting both the cards at same, prices there’s only 10bucks difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Strix is a more effective cooler than the Armour so it should be a bit quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
