I'm just wondering what part of a graphics card effects video rendering the most. I've heard cuda cores but there are barely any articles online talking about it.
 
Solution
980ti is obviously better but I don't see why you are getting last gen when a 1070 is better and the same price. Unless your renderer isn't compatible?

I'm looking at the gtx 980 ti ftw and the gtx 980 kingpin. Kingpin is $100 cheaper than the ftw because Evga has a sale. Idk which one is better. Kingpin has higher clock speeds(overclocked) but gtx 980 ti has more cores

the gtx 980 ti is much cheaper than the 1070 and has much better availability. I got a new power supply and a gtx 980 ti for 450 because of EVGA's 17th anniversary sale. I also live in California and sales tax is 9% :( so that makes the 1070 50 bucks more expensive, and you can barely get it for the msrp. some people sell them for $600 on amazon

They were at 600 when I started looking, and I don't like the designs of the pascal series, Msi, and gigabyte colors don't fit my pc, Asus' is unavailable or at a unreasonable price, and I don't like EVGAs new design so my only good option was the 980 ti which only cost a little more than the others, and I can also get rid of my ketchup and mustard cables, because I got a Evga 650watt supernova fully modular psu
