I'll recommend 1070ti all the way!
I have both of them rocking in the same rig.
They perform close to each other in all the algorithms that I've tried but 1070ti also rocks in ETH where-as 1080 does not.
It depends on what algorithm you'll choose. For instance 1070ti way better at Ethash and generally consumes less power.
I'd say go with 1070ti
the difference is too small in performance but price wise the 1070ti looks much better
also note that in neoscrypt algo it will outperform 1080 and nowadays there are a lot new coins on neoscrypt.
Thank you for your input!
I don't plan on doing ETH and as I wrote, I can get them for the exact same price.
I was considering 1070ti because of power consumption and efficacy in mining.
