980ti or 1070

[FreedomEclipse]

Yeah, just like how my 780ti could crunch everything on 1080p two years ago, and this year I saw 30 fps at the same res.

Fast forward one year and 1070 won't cut it. Time will always destroy any statement on any card's performance being enough for any res. Games are built and scaled towards whats on the hardware market available to run the game, sometimes even subsidized by game developers to push a release together with a new GPU gen.

I dont get the point you're trying to make here... 1070 isnt a year old yet and already you're talking about how obsolete cards are obsolete... Well no shit but isn't that the same thing for most cards as tech also progresses? 980ti being faster then the first Titan etc etc

Also wit the state that games currently are e.g console ports id says i still have at least another year with my 1070

Well... with the 1070 there are many signs that it gets obsolete quite quickly for 'a 1440p card'. Many games couldn't hit 60 fps at that res on ultra when it got released. Saying it is such a thing is a misconception, because most people don't buy a GPU to be good for one year.

With a decent OC it performs within a fraction of a 1080. I did run my 970s for two years though. I think my 680s done similar mileage

What you show in that graph is how GTX980 Ti with 1430 MHz boost clock beats default stock GTX1070 with 1683 MHz boost clock - which is even more unfair than my own GTX980 Ti Strix OC with 1317 MHz boost clock considerably beating GTX1070 Dual with 1721 MHz boost clock in every game, so no wonders here. I somehow doubt that an overclocked GTX980 Ti with 1430 MHz boost clock could beat an overclocked GTX1070 with 2000 MHz boost clock. Even i doubt that... Perhaps in the near future i will get a Strix GTX1070 and test this myself...

That 1070 boosted higher too, there are custom 1070 with 2Ghz somewhere on that site as well and it just doesn't cut it like 980ti does, once both OC'ed.. I've seen numerous newer benchmarks @ guru3d when I compared mine to others and 980Ti always came out on top.. More close to 1080 to be precise.


Ok agree 1070 is more power "friendly" but those 30-60W is nothing magical imo. Good that nv made 1070 so fast, but yeah 64rops and 256bit bus will limit it sooner then later.




Anyhow, I see he got that 980Ti classy, 1500mhz is apparently doable np, but that 77C is imo a bit hot, maybe re-apply TIM?

980ti obviously.

Why obviously?

GTX1070 for sure. I love my MSI GTX1070 Gaming X.

Try new test suite and not 1 year old.1070 is only 7% faster than reference 980Ti at 1050-1100Mhz(vs 15% when launched).Also GTX1080 is 27% avg faster than 1070(1440p)(only 21% when launched).GTX1070 aged pretty badly.I think worst of all cards.Even GTX970 close the gap on GTX1070(it was 61% at launch and now its only 53% in 1440p)

OC vs OC 980Ti will always win vs GTX1070.

@Op
i would have save more money and gone for at least 1080 or Vega (assuming it performs on par with 1080) for upgrade rather than 1070/980Ti sidegrade

Same thoughts
Unless tech doesn't go forward that much or Vulkan/DX12 became more a viable to make performance better (or devs actually took time to optimize the game), the "this card is for this resolution meme"won't last very long if you want to max out game setting

I love how many people don't read the thread and keep telling the OP what card to get after OP got the card.

 

[ViperXTR]

^heh, and oh yeah, GTX 1080 and 1070 was announced 1 year ago from now

 

[stefanels]

Thanks again, but how Toothles was saying the card is already in my rig, so no need to continue this thread )

GTX 1070 for sure, I have the EVGA FTW + ACX 3.0 version. This one.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487259

Another consideration, if purchased new, most all GTX 9 series cards, even the low rate 960's, are selling at way over-inflated pricing. The only way I could justify going with a 980 Ti would be if it were gifted to me, or purchased at a low price from someone I know very well. Not an eBayer nor at 2.5-3x the cost of when popular (pre-10 series release).

For that matter, the 1060 performs as well as the vanilla 980 in some benchmarks at 1080p.

Sorry mate but how could you miss the OP's post right above yours where it specify that he already has the card? Just asking

 

[cat1092]

Sorry about that, no harm meant, was responding to the first page of the Topic.
