gtx 1070 ore 1060

[Baltazar03]

i am building my first pc and i am thinking off getting a gtx 1060 dual 6gb vram(price 3 690 sek -416,04 us dollars) . But i am not sure i am maybe getting a gtx 1070 zotac amp edition with 8g vram(price 5 487 sek - 618,76 us dollars) . it is pretty simular the clockspeed is very close the zotac one has more clockspeed from the bigining but it's a bit slower highest capacity. The memmory type is the same GDDR5. The woltage i don't care about. Ore shuald i get a entirely diffrent card what do you guys think please help me.

If you have the budget for the 1070 go with that, it's a big jump in performance.

The worst 1070 is better than any 1060s

ok

Keep in mind. The 1060 you stated in your OP is not a "dual 1060" or two 1060s. It just means two fans. It is very misleading to people who are not as experienced.

 

Clock speed may be similar, but you have to think about how many CUDA cores each has...

 

All Nvidia cards have GDDR5 VRAM, but you have to also look at the speed and capacity of each card's VRAM.

 

The 1070 is miles ahead of the 1060, and the the 1080 ahead of the 1070, etc.  Get the 1070 if you have the money.

and yea saw that before

1070 (Left) and 1060 6GB (Right) base specs

 

CUDA Cores: 1920, 1280

Frame Buffer (VRAM): 8GB GDDR5, 6GB GDDR5

SLI?: Yes, No

Memory Bandwith: 256, 192

 

Those are the base differences between the two.

 

Here is a good comparison on UserBenchmark: http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1070-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/3609vs3639

well yea there is a big diffrent

It also depends on what monitor you are using. A 1060 is moooore than enough to run 1080p at 60fps. But if you have a 1080 144hz, or 1440p, I would recommend the 1070.

i want to get a 144hz monitor so i probably shuald go with a 1070 but how did you find the cuda core count???

Goto Nvidia's website.

 

Let me get this straight, CUDA count doesn't relate directly to pure performance. But it's a very rough outline.

 

• GeForce GTX 1030 - 720p
• GeForce GTX 1050 - 900p
• GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - 1080p
• GeForce GTX 1060 - 1080p/1440p/2560x1080
• GeForce GTX 1070 - 1440p/3440x1440
• GeForce GTX 1080 - 3440x1440/4K
• GeForce GTX 1080 Ti - 4K

is it not better to get a 1080 msi ? becuse it costs the same and have sam amount off vram but the overall speed is better and the cuda cores is significent higher 

 

[Baltazar03]

thx

i read that before   and a grhapics card can have more amount off cuda cores and still be worse

Which 1080 costs the same as a 1070??? Link please

 

You don't need a 1080 if you are going to be using a 1080p 144hz monitor. A 1070 would be perfect for that. If they really do cost the same in your country, by all means, get the 1080.

• GeForce GTX 1080 Ti - 4K

If you cut the graphics a bit or tweak them if you have the depth in the game, then okay.

 

For High/Max not sure I'd stretch a 1070 to 340x1440.  I'd move the 1060's 2560x1080 to the 1070 as well as move the 4K to the 1080Ti.

i ahave no idea it's a dell old one but i am buying a new one when my build is finished 

i am not home so i can not check

He really means is it 1080p?  Most likely if it's an old Dell, you're running 1080p max, possibly worse.  1060 is good, 1070 is overkill for 1080P 60Hz.

yes i yhink it is but i am buying a new one and i want to play 4k monitor with a refresh rate of 144hz

Then you need a 1080Ti.

well i am screwed i gues i will just gett a 144hz monitor if that works. The msi 1080 sais great for 4k

You'll adjust some settings then.  Not a big deal, the 1080Ti wasn't going to give you 4K at 144Hz without reducing settings either.
