I will go with the GTX 980 Ti. An overclocked GTX 980 Ti still beats GTX 1070 in many ways.

Don't have to bother about heat and power draw when you're not running 24/7 full load.

Haha yeah mang missed the good old times 4 real dang yo

I left amd after 5850 no regrets since then hahahaha

this thread. AMD's thread and this thread here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3970904

There's a gtx1070 available at gemfive atm, if you can use the 12% off code on it, you should be able to save at least RM200 on one.

Edit: Just checked, it works. RM1847 (with discount) for a Palit 1070 GameRock.

Last unit left.

How about o/ced GTX 980 Ti vs o/ced GTX 1070?

It's a wash, really. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2476143



3% is almost "margin of error" kinda. Neither here nor there.

I tried that. I OCed th e GTX 1070 and I can't get it to overtake the Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti Xtreme Gaming, that also that model can be OCed even further.

Reference 1070 vs custom 980Ti?

Yes. Reference GTX 1070 (and even with some OCing done).

Try as I may, I just can't get it to overtake the GTX 980 Ti.

The GTX 980 Ti does have memory bandwidth and CUDA core advantage.

I see!
In that case, either one is not a bad choice. Slightly cheaper gets more power consumption.

TO be fair, have to try it with both as reference. I linked the Anandtech OCed versions of both in reference form, and they're just 3% apart.

Yup. I tried. Good thing I also have benchmarks from the reference model, albeit an older driver and done last year.

In some benchmarks they're really close (slight lead for the GTX 1080) while others the GTX 1080 widens the lead.

1070 you mean.

Sorry yeah 1070. Got mixed up, was looking at my spreadsheet of numbers.

Only one left...i wanna try...

Means 980 ti with some OC will easily beat 1070 on current games, if want DX12 and some new tech in Pascal, then get 1070, sounds like good deal on 980 ti given price drop continue

For the 980Ti, it's a clearance sale, meaning most likely less than 10 units, once sold, it's gone forever. Resellers here dont hold stocks anymore than 10. Only new stock, with preorder deposits paid for, then only they bring in larger numbers.

I'm all too familiar with how resellers and distributors here work. They never stock high end stuff unless there's demand.

should be the performance

jump here and there mar
be a smart consumer

Thanks for that info. Guess if I want to jump on 980 ti bandwagon, need to decide fast.
I'm saw a LYN seller have Gigabyte 980 ti @ 1825 ( winforce ) and 1925 ( G1 gaming ), didnt check if got stock or not

I wonder how will 980 ti OC vs 1070 for the next 2 years. Will 1070 gain much more performance boost with driver optimization during coming months/years, that it's much worthy to go 1070 path ? 980 ti have upper hand on cude cores count and 384 bit memory, which will benefit via OC.
