Hello forums. My current card is a 1070. My microcenter had a 1080ti in stock and I bit the bullet and bought one since I know that my microcenter has a great return policy (they'll always give you full refund if its still working).


Benchmarks: All tests were done at 1440p

DX12:
Ashes of the Singularity:
1070:42 FPS
1080 ti:70 FPS
166.67 percent faster.

Rise of the Tomb Raider
Very High:
1070: 68 FPS
1080 Ti:115 FPS
169.12 percent faster

Mankind Divided:
1070:56.4 FPS
1080 ti: 91.9 FPS
162.94 percent faster

DX11:
witcher 3
1070: 60 FPS
1080 ti: 100 FPS
166.67 percent faster

Dragon Age Inquisition:
1070: 88 FPS
1080 ti: 146 FPS
165.91 percent faster

Mass Effect Andromeda:
1070:63 FPS
1080 ti:100 FPS
157.73 percent Faster



Do you think these increases are worth it at 1440p? It's about a 165 percent~ increase give or take depending on the API and game. I can always sell my 1070 to a friend for 360 dollars.

I hear rumors that Volta will be a big leap in graphic card performance because pascal is essentially only Maxwell on drugs with high clock freqs. So idk.

Do you need more than 60fps if the answer is no keep the 1070 if yes keep the 1080ti.
