Is The NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti The AMD Vega Killer?

2017-11-02
welcome welcome welcome glad to see you guys back here once again on the channel so check it out we all know that the brand new and Vidia gtx 1070 Ti is hit the market and people are probably going why well I can honestly tell you why and this is the reason why Nvidia didn't really have a spot to directly compete with the Vega 56 and the Vegas 64 they their 1070 then they add their 1080 but there was still a little bit of margin as long as pricing and stuff goes like that so they made this card pretty much to be at the market to have a price of 449 dollars now this makes it just slightly more expensive than a 56 but actually $100 cheaper than a Vegas 64 and that's why they did I mean now they have a spot right in there at a lower price that's competing very very well totally being the 56 on pretty much everything across the board 56 can't keep up with this card we do see a little switch off between the 64 and the 1070 TI's which you guys will obviously see in the video but that said though let's jump in real quick and I'll tell you guys the difference between a 1070 and a 1070 I for those people out there who don't know will talk about our brand new test system and this time we went a little bit of a different way with our test is amusingly always go for the top-end things we go for the i7 you know we were gonna do the 7800 but we decided that we would use the brand new I 580 600 so this is a really nice so it's 8 600 K by the way and this is a very nice cpu very well priced and performs great so let's real quick let's talk about the differences between the 1070 TI and the standard 1070 the standard 1070 had 1920 cuda cores the 1070 TI has 2432 cuda cores now here's something that's a little bit tricky though the 1070 TI even though it has a higher base clock of 1600 and 7 megahertz compared to the 1506 on the 1070 both cards share the same boost clock speed at 1680 3 alright so you guys can see on paper the differences between the 1070 and the 1070 I are very very we see a few more CUDA cores and we see a hundred megahertz on the base clock and that's pretty much it the memory all the rest the specs and everything are exactly the same as the 1070 no changes and all the things that you like about Nvidia cards for Nvidia fans are all there with that said though let's check out the test system Before we jump into those benchmarks the test system used in today's video features an Intel Core i5 80 600 K with a maximum turbo frequency at 4.3 gigahertz and it requires 95 watts of TDP the motherboard we use the gigabyte Z 370 AORs ultra gaming motherboard featuring the Intel Z 370 Express chipset we're using 16 gigabytes of ddr4 this is a corsair dominator Platinum Series it's 2 8 gigabyte sticks at 3000 megahertz as far as the power supply goes we're using the C Sonic focus plus series SSR 850 FX 850 watt 80 plus gold power supply now as far as the OS goes we use the latest patch version of Windows 10 we used a beta driver for the 1070 Ti and we use the latest driver available from AMD for the Vega cards with that said though let's rock on and let's check out those benchmarks as far as the temperatures go the gtx 1070 TI got as high as 83 Celsius enter full load which was actually right in the middle of all the cards we tested alright so at the end of the day you guys can see that the 1070 TI just fits in that weird space it pretty much totally wipes out the 56 in DirectX 12 it actually gets beat by the 64 sometimes sometimes it doesn't so at the end of the day I just have to say this this card is about four hundred and forty nine dollars and obviously you guys see it does beat the Vega 56 by quite a bit so is it worth $50 more than the Vega 56 I mean I would honestly say yes and it's $100 cheaper than the Vegas 64 so I mean unless you're a person who's looking for a mining card I mean I probably wouldn't go with the Vegas 64 over this card either now some people are gonna say well hey it does better in some of the DirectX 12 games but if you guys really played the DirectX 12 games because I mean in my opinion I don't really feel like the games look any better or anything else in DirectX 12 it just seems to me like DirectX 12 just makes your games run slower you know kind of like you know making your car I'd have had a heavy weight so that your engines got a run longer I don't see really that great of improvements in DirectX 12 visually with me looking at it I'm not seeing anything that great so is being a little bit better at DirectX 12 at this point in time better now people are gonna say okay but it's future proof I'm just gonna tell you this right now been watching this game for years go on as soon as DirectX 12 becomes the mainstay pretty much whenever anything becomes the mainstay I'm gonna say this right now the mainstay so what that means is that that's like with the thing that everybody's using because in the past AMD many times has beat Intel and NVIDIA to the board with newer I mean it's happened let's just face it for the longest time the only CPU that would support 64-bit Windows was obviously in AMD chip but the whole time they did it nobody really used it because there was nothing out that was actually supporting it and then guess what the day that actually became relevant whoa well you know that Intel was there and they had 64-bit CPU so the same thing the same things going to happen here in the video card market as soon as DirectX 12 becomes SuperDuper relevant you know damn well NVIDIA is gonna have something to do that to change the game now to me if Nvidia really really wanted to compete with it with with the AMD excuse me they would make their cards more oriented for doing Bitcoin mine because if they did that then all those people out there buying up all the cards for Bitcoin mining and screen gamers that are being able to buy their cards that would pretty much be eliminated because people just go oh I don't have to buy that anymore you know and I think that would really work out well for them when we're actually going to see that happen I don't know now I have heard rumors to that effect that's going to happen but so far we've yet to see it so you guys can see and all the testing and everything that this card fits in a spot and I would pretty much say it's came in to be the Vega killer because it's only fifty dollars more expensive than the 56 and it's $100 cheaper than the 64 and in most tests it beats the 64 in a few directx12 things it doesn't but that's I to me a wee bit of margin and we're still looking at you know people you know buying the cards for Bitcoin mining raising the prices up on AMD stock so you can't get a hold of the cards so it not only becomes a game at the end of the day of which card actually runs better it becomes which card can you actually afford to get your hands on right because if you can't get your hands on it and you're going to be paying somebody on eBay or something like $900 you get a hole of a 64 card because you want to be out minor well the gamers out there they're not gonna be able to afford that because they're not actually making money off their card they're spending money on their card anyways I'm Alaric you guys have been watching Tech and Morrow peace out like usual down below like button we'll have more information so if you guys want to check out even more information or to purchase cards and all the good stuff we'll have it down there we've also got more stuff coming up overclocking and SLI coming up next peace
