Cheap GTX 1070ti vs Good GTX1070

[Daniel_1104]

So I live in the UK and have found a deal for a GTX1070ti Palit for £400 and that’s the price of GTX1070s mid range. So what do you guys say go with the cheap 1070ti which has no back plate and is made of plastic avg temps about 75 or a mid range Gtx 1070 like a superclocked? I’m leaning towards the Gtx 1070ti but i’m new to buying GPU’s and don’t know much about cheap GPU’s negatives.

If you are only playing at 1080p I'd go for a cheap GTX 1070.

 

But if you need the additional power, then go for the 1070Ti. A 1070Ti is more like a 1080, than a 1070.

Honestly if the 1070ti is from a reputable source I'd say go for it, I'd check the warranty and return info before though.

A 1070 Ti for £ 400 indeed seems like a good deal. I would definitely go for that if I know for sure that the seller is reputable/thrustworthy enough.

Do you also receive warranty on the 1070 TI?

It’s off Amazon and the manufacturer is called Palit

The seller is Amazon so the seller is pretty good

If it is Palit themselves who sells the card, then I wouldn't doubt and go for the 1070 Ti.

Palit is a decent brand for graphics cards.

If it's this card then it's actually sold by DealTime IT and fullfilled by Amazon. I've never heard of DealTime IT, though they have 5 stars/100% feedback in the last 12 months from 573 ratings. Amazon usually have a good record with customer service.

 

I'm not saying you should go buy it, but I can't see any red flags for the reseller.

Ah yes that’s the seller. It all looked good to me to. So i’ll go for the Gtx1070ti 

 

Thanks

GTX 1070ti is a very slightly downgraded GTX 1080 therefore it will shit on any GTX 1070 regardless of the overclock, all day long...i'd rather have even a blower cooler 1070ti than even a FTW 1070 personally.

Yeah that was my thinking but I just wanted to make sure and ask on here
