The GTX 1070 Ti Vs. GTX 1080 & 1070 - Is it Worth your Money?

2017-11-02
so for months now we've been hearing over graves card called the gtx 1070 TI and today finally marks the day where I can show you guys the results and also give you my opinions on this gravis card now it comes with two thousand four hundred and thirty two CUDA cores which is actually closer to the 1080 than it is to the 1070 however on the memory side of things it comes with this same configuration as the gtx 1070 with eight gigabytes of gddr5 non ex memory so how will this affect the gaming performance when it comes to the 1070 TI well in today's review i'm comparing it against the 1080 TI a 1080 and also a 1070 in their ole overclocked and have also thrown in vague of 56 and 64 and on top of that I'll even throw in the 1070 TI stock figures so with that said let's roll the benchmarks [Laughter] some in the lead up to this video I saw a lot of people asking why does this gravis cart even exist and that's why I wanted to show you guys the benchmarks first and especially when they will overclocked if you guys look at Vega 56 when it's overclocked it performs really closely to of Vega 64 card which is kind of trading blows with the GTX 1080 and the GTX 1080 is marginally faster than a gtx 1070 so that does leave a gap in between the 1070 in the 1080 and that is the 1070 TI and this was the answer I believe to Vega 56 it performs a little bit better at least in a lot of the benchmarks I've done and when you're hitting in at a 1080p or a 1440p resolution this graphics card is going to do very well that what we saw with those benchmarks of course when we started stepping it up to 4k the 1080 did start to fall a little bit ahead of the 1070 TI and this was because of the gddr5 X memory this does help at those higher resolutions specially when textures are a lot larger than they would be at lower resolutions though there are a couple more reasons why the 1070 Ti can exist and that being that Nvidia haven't released a graphics card in quite a while now so releasing something like the 1070 Ti does create a bit of buzz and then the last reason of course is the bidding process 1080 - or 1070 is quite a big drop in CUDA cores something like this allows them to been even more cards and of course create more sales with the $449 MSRP which sits perfectly between the 1070 s 399 and the 1080 s 499 so it is positioned right in between and in my opinion at those lower resolutions 1080 and 1440p it does sit more closer to a 1080 so it is a good proposition for someone who's looking to get into 1440p gaming where I think personally for PC gaming is the sweet spot so I do indeed like this card especially the MSI variant that I've got here this thing overclocked quite well and the best thing about this kind of meticulous the fans I was shocked when I put this thing at a hundred percent fan speeds it was actually really quiet even at a hundred percent if you had this in a sound dead in case I'm pretty sure you wouldn't even hear the noise coming out of this thing though I'll let you guys take a listen for yourselves now it's for the inputs and outputs on this msi card it is the standard configuration same as the founders edition you get three display outs one DVI and one HDMI out on the back there's also a backplate included on this card and of course in the 1070 T I found as addition to that where the MSI gaming variant differs from the founders edition is in the pin layout you get a six plus eight pin power connector which allows for more power delivery on this 1070 TI which is good for overclocking on the founders edition it only requires a single 8 pin connector so they each have their advantages then of course there were the temperatures and the power draw of the 1070 TI which came in as expected of course the gaming variant did do very well with 62 degrees at 100% fan speeds and as I said before it was very quiet though of course let's talk about those gaming figures when it came to 4k gaming in the first benchmark I'll pull up here was Wolfenstein 2 this is where the Vulcan architecture allowed the Vega 56 and 64 cards when they're overclocked to perform considerably well of course when it came to 4k results though the GTX 1080 and the 1080 T I did start to push back very hard so lower resolutions on Vulcan Vega 56 and 64 did very well scoring a victory over the 1070 TI though other games the 1070 T I did hand a pretty good beating to the Vega 56 card and of course the charity was scoring a victory over the Vegas 64 and with the fan speeds I set them to generally 80% across the board in a 25-degree ambi controlled environment so the results are pretty apples to apples when it comes to the overclocks if one is overclocking way better than the others then I tend to find out what's the norm for that overclock and drop it down to one that everyone can generally expect to get if they were to go out and buy one of these cards for themselves though of course overclocking is never really guaranteed I just like to do it to all the graphics cards that come through here and of course give you guys a different perspective on things but when we look at battlefield one for example this was a game at 4k where the 1080 did start to edge over the 1070 TI when we directly compare the 1080p to 4k numbers and this was a trend that generally swept through all the titles whether it be the newly released destiny to Wolfenstein 2 or of course pub G or even games like for honor or Far Cry primal the Destinee - it's a newly-released gaming it's extremely well optimized though at the moment it's actually quite hard to benchmark you have to use present mana and actually didn't have time to set it up again so I just had to use a static benchmark and actually found out there's a 200 FPS cap in this game so I don't know how to remove that or I don't know if it's going to be removed and if they removed it I'm not sure if it would break the engine or not but I'm telling you now guys at 200 FPS this game is extremely smooth it's really well optimized I noticed absolutely no dips when it came to running through at least about 20 minutes of gameplay and of course I found an area where I could just get a consistent apples-to-apples benchmark the new Wolfenstein whoever did have problems on both the AMD and NVIDIA cards though the Vulcan architecture did allow that Vega card to shine especially at the lower resolutions so the gaming benchmarks done and Dustin and of course a lot of you guys on Twitter are messaging me about the pricing and now what we're talking about here is MSRP is 449 USD and I think in the interview they said to me 719 at Randall's now I've already seen it up for pre-order on Newmont for 699 Australian dollars and of course I agree with you guys you've picked up ten ATS for cheaper when you've been deal hunting I personally have picked up a GTX 1080 in Australia on eBay sells for 680 Australian so it comes in cheaper and of course you're getting a more powerful graphics card though with the 1070 TI the MSRP is lower than the MSRP of the 1080 and with that wendy'll and since sales come about you'll be able to pick this card up for an absolute bargain and with that the performance is closer to a 1080 than it is to a 1070 though the last question I will address what about the cryptocurrency mining now I only use eques hash and I'm only using it as an experiment and when I tested this card it did perform really well when it came to cryptocurrency mining though I believe the guys who want this for the gddr5 memory then you're probably better off getting the 1070 because you've got those more CUDA cores and for that particular currency then I believe that you will benefit from having a more power efficient card which I believe the 1070 will be because it's got the memory the same amount of memory has less CUDA cores I know I probably shouldn't have talked about crypto currencies I apologize gamers please forgive me gaben please forgive me then when it comes down to what the gtx 1070 is here it's a card that exists for its price it performs as should be I've really got no quarrels with it I'm not super blown away by it at the same time however it is the answer to Vega 56 in my opinion does use less power and it does perform a little bit better on average so any of you guys I hope you enjoyed this video and if you did then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comments section below what you think about the 1070 T I love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon and while you're at it don't forget to subscribe hit that Bell button because there's some more awesome tech videos coming your way and I'll see you next time peace out for now bye
