welcome back to harbor unboxed now i recently compared the gtx 1070 TI on vega 56 GPUs and 35 games three resolutions and found that more often than not the GeForce GPU was faster it was also offering decent gains over a factory overclocked GTX 770 and when overclocked was on par with a factory overclocked GTX 1080 the MSI gaming X version in this case they said many of you asking should you buy a gtx 1070 TI or a gtx 1080 basically you save $50 us by buying the gtx 1070 TI and if you play an overclock then you will get GT x 1080 light performance although we've already seen how a factory overclocked GTX Terri stacks up what about one pushed to its limits or there abouts how much faster would that 1080 be well I've overclocked the gaming ex model to find out now we found previously that overclocked my particular GTX 1072 it maintains a boost clock speed of 2000 megahertz and that is the highest frequency I can achieve while maintaining stability the GTX 1080 on the other hand was good for 2050 megahertz this means that the GTX 1080 was at most clocked two and a half percent faster which is 5% more crude of course I can't imagine they'll be that much in it looking over the comment section of the gtx 1070 TI vs. vega 56 video most suggest that the 1080 was a much better product due to the fact that it takes the value of gddr5 X memory I found in the past though when under clocking the memory on a GTX 1080 that it doesn't really impact performance that heavily even with the COS overclocked so the 1080 is not nearly a star for bandwidth as some would lead you to believe the GTX 970 I on the other hand is a little star for bandwidth but overclocked in the jus ddr5 memory does rectify this when overclocked I got the gtx 1070 TI memory of 2252 megahertz while the GTX 1080 ran at 2810 megahertz so that means the gddr5 memory of the 1070 Ti was good for a throughput of nine gigabits per second while the gddr5 bet the turnout he was pushing eleven point two gigabits per second previously I found overclocking the gtx 1070 TI increased performance by around eleven percent across the 35 games tested and that's a pretty decent gain for a Pascal GPU this meant that while it was previously just 8% faster on average when compared to the msi gtx 1070 gaming ex model that margin grew to a rather large 20% once overclocked and as I said earlier this place at on power the GTX eternity gaming X graphics card so let's overclock the GTX 1018 know the max and reevaluate that comparison first up we have Assassin's Creed origins and for those of you that plan to overclock the snot ahead of your graphics card the GTX 1080 will provide just 3% more performance in this tile that's just 2 FPS as you can see moving along this time we have destiny - and the overclocked GTX tennety was just 4% faster on the overclocked 1070 TI this again shows how the MSI gaming X model is just about getting all there is to get from the 1080 and we have f1 2017 and this time we see you say 2 percent gain favoring the GTX 1080 though this overclock does at least put it back ahead of the 1070 TI even if it is only by a frame or two next up we have project cars - and here we do see I wrapped the decent 6 percent advantage going away of the GTX 1080 that said though an extra 6 FPS isn't entirely surprising given that this was one of the few games where the overclocked GTX 1072 I couldn't match the factory overclocked gaming X version of the 1080 moving on we have quake champions and here we see a mere 4% performance advantage for the overclocked GTX 1080 another 4% jump from the overclocked gtx 1070 TI to the overclocked 1080 can be seen when testing shadow of I can't say that word because the video will get D monetized then in love hammer to just a single frame separates for 1080 and 1070 TI once both are overclocked I'd say a single frame is within the margin of error but either way the 1080 was no more than 2% faster in this title and finally Wolfenstein - another 1/2 FPS difference for an up to 2% advantage in the GTX tonight he's favored I'm sure by now you get the idea so let's wrap this up so the GTX 1080 is faster once overclocked just not that much faster gddr5 X isn't really a factor here despite offering 25% greater throughput with the memory overclocked to the max on both graphics cards along with those criticals the GTX 1080 was at most 6 percent faster though realistically he'd probably only be looking at around 3 percent on average and remember the 1080 was also clocked almost three percent higher as well so if you get a good 1070 TI overclocked that to the same frequency to run at about 2050 megahertz as that was the frequency at my 1080 maintained then that 3% margin could shrink to just a percent I'd also say that your odds of winning that famous silicon lottery about a rebound is good with either a 1070 TI or a 1018 I certainly don't have any evidence to suggest otherwise if we look strictly at the MSRP s and the GT X 1080 costs 11 percent more than the gtx 1070 TI that's $500 verse four hundred and fifty dollars u.s. it's not really that much all of minutes just fifty dollars but the 1070 TI is a better value option if you plan to overclock those of you not keen on overclocking really we'll find a similar level of value with either GPU and this is probably true for the gtx 1070 as well the cost per frame would be much the same between the 1070 at $400 the 1070 TR at 450 dollars and of course the 1080 at $500 it really is almost as crazy as Intel skylake X range like for example do you need a Tenkasi period $1000 a 12-course if you're $1,200 14 quart 1416 core $1700 or an 18 core at $2,000 I mean how does someone know if they need a 12 core or a 14 core CPU and at what point do you just stop I guess Intel would say that's it $2,000 okay so I'm getting a bit off-topic time to answer the question which should you buy I guess I probably put this way I personally like to get the maximum bang for my buck so I'd get the gtx 1070 i assuming it's priced at the MSRP that is and overclock it to the max to achieve 1080 light performance and be pleased that I've saved enough money for a nice meal however if I wasn't into overclocking and just wanted to get something that's pretty agile out of the box then I think I just got a factory overclock 1080i like the gaming ex model used for the testing so I hope that helps those of you trying to work out if you need to buy a 1070 TI or a 1080 obviously there really isn't much in it you can't really go terribly wrong either way just be aware that if you are after a 1070 - I to save that $50 or so then / - really makes sense you do need to overclock that sucker and that's gonna do it for this one like subscribe comment and send me all your money via patron I'm your host Steve Sagan soon guys
