Saw 980 ti ( new ) price drop to as low as RM1825 now, wondering if I should sell my few months old 970 and add few hundreds for 980 ti. Saw benchmark/review that it's somewhere very near 1070 performance. Or should I wait 1070 price drop saw cheapest Palit @ 1999
Was getting 970 few months back to get the bloody The Division game for free , and now awaiting monitor upgrade which no doubt will sweat 970 @ 3440x1440 resolution.
According to the video, before nVidia released GTX1070, nVidia mentioned GTX1070 was Titan X performance card. In actual, it is faster than Titan X. nVidia claimed GTX1060 is GTX980 card. Well, there is a possibility it can beat GTX980.
If this card is indeed a GTX980 performance card, with 20% overclock headroom, it could beat AMD Fury X @ 1080p. And it could be very close to GTX980Ti.
So, it's a very interesting product. We keep our fingers crossed. Keep dreaming and drooling.
InB4 tabuli ini machiam. nVidia locks 9 the overclock-ability of this card. Then it's KNN.
What cards are you pitting GTX1060 with? Got include GTX970?
That's a legendary industrial standard. It must have included in all video card reviews, for god sake. Without GTX970, we are clueless on how the card performs.
argh... palit's gtx1070 is the cheapest... but my heart tells me to get the MSI's Gaming X gtx1070... at the cost of extra rm200+ and physically looks a lot better imo =(
If you wanna do AIO water cooling on GTX1070, MSI GTX1070 is the best. No other GTX1070 as good as MSI's.
However, with the price paid on MSI GTX1070, you should get GTX1080. GTX1080 gonna beat watercooled GTX1070 by miles anyway.
The score is taken from guru3d as reference. Based on these links, let's do some comparisons.
If DX12 is your concern, well, the score is 3 : 2. Green team wins. Well, if you take Vulkan into the DX12 score, it's 3 : 3. It's a tie. DX11, green team tapau the red team. DX11/12/Vulkan final score, 12 : 3. Green team wins.
Next, let's do overclocking. Real world overclocking that reflects the actual FPS increase. - MSI GTX1060, with 10% OC headroom on actual real-world result - GTX 980, with 13% OC headroom on actual real-world result - GTX 970, with 13% OC headroom on actual real-world result - RX480, with 6% OC headroom on actual real-world result If DX12 & Vulkan are your concerns, well, the score is 4 : 2. Green team wins. DX11/12/Vulkan final score, 13 : 2. Green team wins.
Heard people give high ratings on Sapphire Nitro+ RX480 OC. We do comparisons with these videos then.
MSI GTX1060 is used, OC results as shown in video. GTX980, with +13% OC headroom. GTX970, with +13% OC headroom. Sapphire Nitro+ RX480, OC results as shown in video. For overclocked cards, green team tapau red team in all DX12 benchmarks. Well, if you take Vulkan into DX12 score, it's 3:1. Green team wins. DX11/12/Vulkan final score, 8 : 1. Green team wins.
Kek.
P/S - First things first, don't ask me how or why. I just picked the figures from either the website or the videos. You can see it for yourself. Credit given to those reviewers. - If you can get a GTX980 cheap, get it (i.e. MYR800-900). See the score card, it ain't bad. - How could GTX980 outperfoms GTX1060? well, I simply slapped 9 ten% OC headroom on GTX1060, while GTX980 enjoiced thirteen% OC headroom. GTX980 wins some. GTX1060 loses some. - Wait, you asked why RX480 low class? - If you wanna argue AIB RX480 has higher OC headroom, you go check above video, eteknix' review on Sapphire Nitro+ RX480 and Techpowerup's review on Asus RX480 Strix. You do your own calculation on OC headroom of RX480.
