GTX 1080 vs GTX 980 Ti - Worth The Upgrade?

2016-06-15
all right tech fan so I know this question keeps getting asked over and over again and I wanted to wait till actually the latest drivers came out for the 1080 and 1074 we actually really compared to anything because we all know when the cards first come out the drivers they have are like basically like newborn children they need to grow and since this is a brand new chipset and everything from Vidya with new drivers you're just going to see the 1070 and 10a there's going to keep getting a little faster the 980ti however though since its last generation technology you know it's pretty much hit a wall with all the drivers they've taken that card almost as far as it goes you may see a frame or two here there but nothing significant so everybody's asking right now I have a 980 I should I upgrade to a 1070 or should I upgrade to a 1080 well today's video lets you see the actual score so you can know what the actual real value difference is between that card and the two new cards are so let's first check out the test system check out those scores and let's see at the end whether it's worth it for you to upgrade your card alright there's the test system which by the way we will be upgrading to an i7 6700k very soon but now it's time to rock and check out those benchmarks let's go okay folks so there you have it you can see that right now with what's going on there's not very much difference between the 1070 and 980ti now obviously as more drivers come out you're going to see the 1070 begin to see you know get farther and farther away from that but at this time point I think that if you have a 980 I you should probably just chill out for the moment and keep your card I don't think there's any really a reason right now for you to go out and sell your cards and stuff unless you're totally trying to do 1440 and giant monitors or you're trying to do 4k now with the 1080 if you're really looking for the ultimate performance you can see there is quite a bit of difference almost 20 percent difference between the 9 8 1080 that excuse me there between the 980ti and the 10a there's almost you know 16 to 18 percent seems to be about the average but sometimes up to 20 percent so that's a really good margin with that card so if you honestly just have to have a absolute fastest and best of the best then the 10 a is going to be what you want to get also you guys keep asking me when is the 1080 TI going to come out I mean I'd imagine it's probably going to come out near the end of the year Nvidia is going to want to milk this card for a while and until AMD comes up with something that's truly competitive why would they release a card to beat this card it just doesn't make any financials you know sense for them whatsoever so you'll be waiting a while to see a TI so at the end of the day there you guys have it about a you know 16 to 19 percent difference with the 1080 maybe a 5 maybe 6 percent difference if you upgrade it to a 1070 from the 980 I but hey na ATI is still kicking ass the only thing is though like I said it's hit a wall pretty much as far as drivers go and there may be a few little inches out here where the drivers update a game per se here and there but at the end of the day obviously if you want the best of the fast right now the 1080 is still the King of the Ring and possibly what you I'm on upgrade if you're that type of person so I'm aware more information about these cards down below plus we have lots of other non founders edition cards coming in you guys saw the unboxing of the gigabyte g1 gaming we've got that we also have a card from EVGA the FTW version I know it's not used to get twe but for the win so I'm Eric been watching taken tomorrow we'll see you guys back here on the channel
