GTX 1080 or GTX 1070 Ti

[User88]

Hi guys, i have a Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce OC, i wanted downgrade to ROG STRIX GTX 1070 ti, if i downgrade will i dissapointed very much?
I don't do hard gaming, i enjoy on 1440p, not so care about fps but demand 60fps+.
**I really wanted a strix card, they look gorgeous

So it;s just for aesthetics? 1070 ti does easily 2k , above 60 fps for all titles, so no dissapointment at all. It's a high end card...

Maby 2% decrease in fps not much tho.

The ROG strix gtx 1070 ti can get quite close to the performance of your gtx 1080 when overclocked but it will still be a noticeable downgrade. It certainly won't be able to achieve 1440p 60fps at ultra settings in all games.

Whether you will be disappointed or not will depend on whether you'll spend more time looking at that "gorgeous card" or whether you're actually going to game on it.

Why downgrade? What money are expecting to save? The prices of both are really and sometime the 1070ti will cost just as much as the 1080. I am not seeing how you can gain anything in the downgrade.

Well for me when recommending cards i see the GTX 1060 and 1070's as a 1080p 120hz or 144hz card.

GTX 1080/TI for a reliable 1440p experience be it at a locked 60 or using a 120 or 144hz monitor.

Thank for the info

Why downgrade?

From the start i wanted a strix card, but the time i bought my card, strix not in stock

Well, that's the one way to change my mind. Performance over everything, got it. Thanks btw

I'm planning to get Acer Predator XB271HU next week, from your info, my monitor might not fully utilized then. Thanks

Never met anyone that decided it was best to go get a lesser card when confronted with high framerates at a given resolution. Just because you are not playing at 144 Hz does not mean you now must downgrade to a GTX1050Ti, etc...

THe 1080 should last years even as new games come out...enjoy it as is...
