Gtx 1080, 1070, or 1070 ti?

[liam807]

If I was to use msrp prices, Gtx 1070 is $400, Gtx 1070 ti is $450, and Gtx 1080 is $500, which would be the best value card? Also, will any of them be bottlenecked by a ryzen 5 1600?

[Crunchy Dragon]

The 1070Ti is probably the best value card out of the three, it's basically an underclocked 1080 without GDDR5X memory.

 

None of them will be bottlenecked by a Ryzen 5 1600.

The best value card is the one that fits what you do and is the cheapest for that purpose. As we don't know if you mean for gaming, video editing or whatever, that would be for you to decide. As for bottlenecking, the Ryzen 5 1600 isn't really an issue in that regard, especially when over clocked and paired with fast RAM, unless perhaps you want to eke out every single possible frame at over 1440p resolution. Even then, just about any CPU is to some extent then GPU bottlenecked. So we will need more information if you want a more precise answer.

[Tech Wizard]

What resolution are you playing at?

At 2 and 4K, none will be bottlenecked.
You're fine at 1080p with a 1070. With a 1070 Ti I would overclock your CPU. With a GTX 1080 you might be bottlenecked some frames with a stock 1600.

I would just grab a 1080 tbh.

Are they worth it for $50 do you reckon? I mean i've been thinking about getting the 1070ti over the 1080 because of the better price and only small differences to the 1080

there is about 10% performance difference between the 1070ti and the 1080...up to you to decide if it's worth an extra 50$

Yeah i suppose its how much that 10% would mean to me in games, it can only be a few fps realistically

yes...but how long will you be using this card? it will be 10% faster for all this time...i don't know man....if we use the price listed in the original post it's 11.1% price increase for about 10% more performance...

 

Now, of course both will do great

Techpowerup has it at 5% at 1440p. I think 1070 Ti is far and away the best value of the three.

 

[SteveGrabowski0]

1070 Ti is far and away the best value since it's $449 MSRP while the 1080 is $549 MSRP if you get lucky and catch Nvidia's site when they're in stock (which they were briefly yesterday).

it's because they test with games and compare framerates...a 10% faster GPU will not necesseraly yield 10% more frames....

but in terms of GPU performance, the 1080 is 10% faster...200 000 people can prove it here:

if those are the prices we're looking at then yes...but OP mentionned 450$ and 500$ for them...and here in canada the 1070ti is less than 10% cheaper...so it's an absolute no go as far as i'm concerned...so it depends.

 

For me this extra 10% perf is worth an extra 15% in cost...if it's more than that then i would settle for a 1070ti.

Get the best you can afford. They way when you aren’t happy with the performance at any time, you can’t go back and wish you got a better card. 

[Princess Luna]

My two cents are on the GTX 1070 Ti provided that you overclock it.

I honestly can't trust userbenchmark as much since they do take any result they can get and average it. I have submitted multiple times and gotten total crap scores and then come to find out I forgot to turn off my 60 fps lock from RTSS. But those still got figured in. I think I'd trust Firestrike Graphics more as a synthetic, and Gamers Nexus show the reference 1080 about 6.8% higher scoring than 1070 Ti out of the box (and Nvidia didn't allow any pre-overclocked 1070 Ti to be sold).

that, that is wise and i will forever agree with this...anytime i got the ''next best thing'' i always had regrets down the line, where as when you do get what you really want you feel good about it forever after.

 

Personally, i'm done with trying to save a few bucks here and there, i rather go big or go home.

 

That's why i got a 4770K instead of a 4670K, a GTX 1080 instead of a 1070, an IPS 1440p Gsync monitor instead of a cheap TN without Gsync etc. and it served me well so far.

 

Previously i used to be cheap, so i bought an AMD FX, AMD GPU's and shit that always got me disapointed i didn't spent more for the best stuff.

Statistics mean nothing. Benchmarks are really all that matters. 1070ti is a much better option

 

(See vega 64. Best specs out there, terrible performance for its price)

when you shop a bit you do realize that usually there isn't much price difference if any between the 1070ti and 1080 and in many cases you do get more for your money with the GTX 1080...this is a good example... ^^

Here in Australia, theres about a 150 dollar price difference

yeah...no, there isn't

 

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#c=415,367&sort=price&page=1

 

there is about a 60 to 80$ difference between similar/same models, and this represent around a 7 to 10% price difference, therefore the GTX 1080 is just as viable an option as the 1070ti for your as we speak.

 

BTW pricing in Aus are very similar to prices here in CAD

 

 

if you're after a new card in Aus right now btw this seem like the card to get...good price, looks good and it's in stock :

1070 Ti is not allowed to be factory overclocked for a reason, because NVIDIA don't want it overtaking the 1080. So it's fair to say they are nearly on par performance despite slight percentage difference, hence this limitation of no out-of-the-box overclocks
