I have option to buy

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti ARMOR 8GB GDDR5

or

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GAMING 8GB GDDR5

Is there any difference and what would You recommend?

In terms of built quality gaming series are better. I haven't used 1070ti builds yet but I have used RX480 and there was slight difference in terms of cooling performance.

I think better to choose gtx 1070 ti with Micron or Samsung memory because i heard that hynix memory its not godo in mining..
And mostly MSI  GTX 1070 ti that i always seen mostly in blogs and youtube but for my small rig i use Palit GTX 1070 as of now i didn't experience any issue so for now i think if you want some suggestion i recommend MSI gtx1070ti.. than the GTX 1070ti armor that only made for gaming purposes..

I see Your point. Thanks.

How can i know if RAM is Samsung or something else?

I don't see any difference, almost same frequency, same cooling. I'd recommend to buy that one, which is cheaper

I also have access to (in 5-6 days):

Inno3D GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Jet 8GB GDDR5
Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 Ti MINI 8GB
Inno3D GeForce GTX 1070 Ti IChill X4 8GB
Inno3D GeForce GTX 1070 Ti IChill X3
Asus GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Turbo 8GB
Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Dual 8GB GDDR5
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Gaming 8GB GDDR5
PNY Technologies GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Blower 8GB GDDR5

download TechPowerUP GPU-Z and run that. Choose Tab Graphic Card, then look Memory Type

I went with the Palit Dual as it was the cheapest I could get

How's the performance?

You have no idea who the memory manufacturer is until you get the card and check for yourself.

In fact, almost all GTX 1070ti are the same because NVidia have forsed manufacturers to do so.
That is why there is no practical reson to buy very expensive card.
But personaly I like ASUS Strx series.

Thank you. Now I have more options :)
