Is 1070 ti will be a good choise If you want to start GPU mining? Will be best to sell later?

I'll choose 1060 or 1080ti.
1070 was a quite good options when it was very hard to afford GPU's like 3 months ago, but it's performance and cost is ambiguous right now.

Judging by the technical characteristics, the Eth mining will be like 1070 and Zec as 1080. The issue in price and volume of production.

I'll wait until it is released and get one just to test it. There are many rumours as to it can't be overclocked and the pricing must be good, around 400 USD. Only then I feel like it's worth it.

1070 cards are good in overall.
There is more than just a one thing when you chose between graphics cards.

If 1070ti will be same price like 1070, it become a very good choice

It will not, because the 1070 will also come cheaper. It will probably be very similar in terms of ROI. Resale value will also have a say in this.

I read some article mentioned that 1070ti about the same as 1080 in terms of price and performance.

I think so too. But for mining the key difference consists in the type of memory, in 1070 GDDR5 memory and in 1080 GDDR5X. This X is bad for the Eth mining.

I will be looking at getting some of these pretty soon hopefully

My predictions are 40mh/s for ethash and 600 sol/s for equihash.

I dont think 1070Ti is good choice, I assume that its hashrate is about 35Mh/s and price is about 600$, if it's the case, I will purchase P106-100, it could get 24.5-25Mh/s while price is only ~230$.

1070 ti will be in performance a bit more than 1070 and almost the same as the 1080 so you should expect the same hashrate from a 1080. Maybe 1070 ti being a new card will have higher clocks and can support a bit more of overclocking, however I think 32-35 Mhash should be the expected hashrate in Ethereum and about 550 sol/s in Zcash mining.

1070ti sounds like a miners dream  ;D first 1070 was the best, then 1080TI, now they combined the two and make a super miner baby  ;D ;D

Stick with 1080ti, I dont think 1070ti will be worth it, if it comes out.

I think the 1070Ti will be best for ETH mining.

good point the resale value will be the difference i guess its a good mining device in such a short term and after reaching the roi the value will be much
lower as new rigs will show up and difficulty will be the factors of any gpu.

I think it can be useless due to 1080, same cuda cores, same memory freq but not gddr5x, than it will be better - it's unclear

At the end of the day,  1070, 1070 ti, 1080, 1080 ti. .  They are all great mining cards as long as you utilize them effectively You can make them all work,  they pretty much scale linear with cost.

 If the 1080 sucks with eth that's fine, go mine equihash and it's a great mining card.  If you get a 1070 or 1070 ti great, go mine eth with it.

Everything else is just peanuts,  Don't overthink it too much,  buy whatever nvidia card and make it work.  There's bigger things to worry about.

Yep, the biggest thing to worry about is do you hold your coins for the tops or just sell daily?

i thought i read you can't over clock it

Where are news on this card in the first place? Any legit source?

All Nvidias cannot be Bios modified until now, at least I don't know such program yet. They can though be overclocked through MSI Afterburner utility and my GTX 1060 are running stable for months with +200 core clock increase and +750 memory clock increase.
This card is the response of Nvidia (or better first response as I am sure they have quite some good cards,even GDDR6 in February 2018 at least they have promised to introduce this kind of memory in GPU-s in February 2018) to Vega cards from AMD.

oh.....

so it will essentially kill almost any coin. :drool: It should do like 37-40 mh on eth or close I'm thinking and still kill on equihash.

It's going to be hard to talk myself out of buying some of these if the price is what they say they will be, which is a terrible idea for me right now.

I'm not reading that the same way.  I thought it was the partners were not going to be able to make any overclocked/super clocked cards but the end user would manual be able to OC. 

I think its a wait and see thing...

lol, more for me :D  this card will be the bomb
Do you mine? haha   "if it comes out"  i already have 5k stacked for these cards, they are already coming up on websites as well
I started the 1070ti thread like over a month ago, it's definitally coming, 5 days! :D   

Everything here is completely theoretical, we won't know until we get those cards in our hands and try it out. Although, the stats are showing that it'll be similar to a 1080.

"Asus ROG Twitter post basically confirms GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is real"

"LR also managed to pull some specs from the listing. Assuming they are accurate, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti will have 2,432 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR5 memory (not GDDR5X) running a 256-bit bus, giving it 256GB/s of memory bandwidth. And consistent with previous leaks and rumors, it will have a 1,607MHz base clock and 1,683MHz boost clock."

Eth mining will be dead shortly, I know they've been saying that since 2016, but this time it's really soon, IMO. :)

Get you BTC wallets out if you plan on buying a 1070Ti. Expensive!

Hopefully the new 1070 Ti will bring some price movement with its introduction. Hoping to get some 1070 at a discount!

lol,

At 600-700 it would be better to stick with the 1080ti.  Glad I live in the U.S.

GAHHHHH

they said 400 msrp.

These prices are some kind of joke? They have no chance at this price to make any success with this card.
I hope it's just a mistake, because otherwise they have made an epic fail.

I agree. At more than >$450 you are better off buying a 1080 or two RX 570 4GB cards for $250 or less each.

Ya I agree. I thought the goal was to undercut Vega 56.

NVIDIA can also optimise the profits/yields as the 1070 Ti are basically 1080 chips with one faulty SM unit (19 vs. 20).

1070Ti memory has lower latency.

I know it has a different memory type I was merely referring to the chip itself.
