I am looking for an upgrade from a 2 year old 1070. which one of these cards should i get? Is the 1080 worth an extra $100?
 
Solution
1080 is roughly 10% better in (some) synthetic benchmarks. Compare them here - https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/compare/

Whether that's worth the extra is your call, and based on your own budget and gaming needs.

For what it's worth, the 1070ti is more 'bang for buck' efficient.

Edit: Personally, I don't need that level of performance, but if I was shopping in the 1070 / 1070ti /1080 market, I would choose the 1070ti out of the three.

Upgrading within that group? Mmm. Not worth the money imho.

When toms was still doing performance charts they said you should try to jump at least 3 tiers to see a notable performance gain. Unless there are extenuating circumstances. When you are already running a 1070 2 tiers would put you into Titan XPP territory. For the cost, I think you are better off holding out for the next gen GPUs. Even then I wouldn't hold your breath too much. I think the next gen GPUs will not provide a notable performance boost. I think AMD is lining up a sizable perf/dollar boost potentially we'll see 1070 performance in a sub $300 GPU from AMD. I don't expect that from nVidia.
