GTX 1070 & 16GB RAM vs GTX 1080 & 8GB RAM

Ghost09 · Dec 30, 2017

Hello everyone

my machine:

Intel i5 6600k @4.2

GIGABYTE Z170 HD3P

SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB

CORSAIR RX750M

I am going to upgrade my GPU and/or RAM(80% gaming and 20% browsing),but being tight on budget and based on the current price tags in my country I narrowed it down to 2 options:

1.Buy a GTX 1070 and get 16GB of RAM

2.Buy a GTX 1080 and get 8GB of RAM

what is your opinion?

Need to know what resolution you're playing at, since resolution is really the only deciding factor between performance of these cards.

1080p 75Hz for now but probably going to upgrade to 1080p 144Hz or 1440p 75Hz in about a year

What's the price difference between the cards ?
Is the 1070ti not available at a decent price ??

madmatt30 :

Cheapest GTX 1070 is the PALIT at 477 euros
Cheapest GTX 1070 ti is the KFA2 at 501 euros
Cheapest GTX 1080 is the GAINWARD Phoenix at 544 euros

At those prices mate it has to be the 1070ti, assuming that kfa2 is the twin fan ex its a damn good card.

Id take that , & save a bit of money up for the ram upgrade when you can.

At only €24 less the 1070 is kind of pointless

Yeah that pricing is so close.

Thata the trouble with pc upgrades , it's hard to set a line on expenditure sometimes.

The 1070ti is very close to 1080 performance though , within 5% generally , & its some 15% stronger than the 1070.

madmatt30 :

are there any benchmarks that show that 5% performance difference?
