1080 or 1070ti?

[BTC22]

I can get either for MSRP. I had a 1080 crap out on me so I need to replace one.

[Sledge0001]

I'd say 1080 all the way.

[nsummy]

1070ti will be your best bet.  Its more versatile since it doesn't have GDDR5X memory.

[Max Likelihood]

Depends on the price difference--personally I'm considered selling my 1080s and replacing with 1070tis. Don't know exact number of cuda cores but I think 1070ti is close and I feel like it has a bit greater range for the price (I got mine 450-470 before "the shortage)--that is they can kill it on equihash and do ok on ethash too because (at least mine( have Gddr5 instead of 5x memory like the 1080s.

But, I do like the 1080s on equihash. Seems like the 1070Tis actually beat them slightly on lyra2v though with +100 core on both.

[BTC22]

Damn, time is running out. I need to decide.

[GabryRox]

I have been running both on a rig for over a month so can provide some good insight for you...

- 1080's will generally get about 10% better (about 550 vs 500) hash-rate on Equihash coins, like BTG, ZEN & ZEC
- 1070ti's will generally get 25-30% (30.5 vs 24) better on ETHash coins like ETH, ETC, Music, etc PLUS, can dual mine DCR, etc (although dual mining not as good with these as with 4xx or 5xx AMD cards) but still, it's a nice bonus

With profitability of all coins down at the moment, but Equihash taking the bigger hit, ETH dual mine has been more profitable, so if this trend continues, 1070ti would be the easy choice.  In fact, unless Equihash coins move much higher in relation to ETHash coins, 70ti will be way better long term.  I know there are other algos to consider but these seem to be the most consistently profitable. Bottom line, if I could do it I would trade my 2 1080s for 2 70ti's in a heartbeat, even though the 80's have higher retail value.

It depends which coin you would like to mine. Both of those cards are good, I understand your indecision. If it was me, personally I would chose 1070ti. Its cheaper and its better in mining ETH. I had 1070ti on my computer, and have done some mining with it. I can say that i was satisfied with its performance. This is what I would recommend, so go for 1070ti.

[QuintLeo]

At MSRP on each, I'd go 1070 ti - but it's a very close choice, you won't go wrong either way.

Don't get a 1070 ti to mine ETH with, get a 1070 - even lower cost for the SAME hashrate.

[yura04071989]

At the moment in my country 1070 Ti is 20 dollars more expensive than 1070

the cheapest Palit GeForce GTX1070 DUAL 8GB DDR5  - €656.68
the cheapest MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Aero 8GB GDDR5 - €678.58
the cheapest KFA2 GeForce GTX 1080 EX OC 8GB - €689.00

 and the choice is obvious - 1070 Ti in overclock +800 33.5 Mh / s
(i'll try more - 35 Mh / s but 85 C and very unstable - Palit without backsplate),
and also 1070 Ti more recent model and more easily sold on market of second-hand things in the future
1070 Ti - Claymore - ETH dual mine - and go)
in general it is an eternal problem to compare the technical characteristics of products, but soon it will be easier, there will be a platform (at my signature), it will be possible to compare any card and understand what is better in 5 minute)

Another vote for the 1070ti as the best all-rounder card

Thanks, but a few also popped up for MSRP for me.

No problem...just check specs and compare properly

I have 2x 1080 and 1x1070'ti,  although 1080 has more shading units than 1070'ti, for me 1070'ti has a bit better of performance than 1080. especially to mine NeoScrypt coins.

[szafa]

More fps buy gtx 1080.Wait to nvidia 2 series.

[Eternu]

More fps buy gtx 1080.Wait to nvidia 2 series.

Enlightened me please, I thought that memory has great impact (in most cases) on mining efficiency. So tell me, in which way is fps related to mining. As far as I know fps stands for "frame per second" , so why do we need to look on fps when we talk about mining?

[qwertyking]

1070ti performs better on overclock (due to default core clock and memory material type), and considering the price difference and electricity consuming(though it is not too big now), 1070ti is better

[KICKBANNER]

P104-100 is the best  40 mh/s and 550 sols/s

[gsanjin]

If you're planing to also have option to mine ethash algo coins (ethereum, pirl, etc, ella, ...) better buy would be 1070TI. 1080 is using faster and newer GDDR5X but also with larger memory latencies which pretty much impacts memory intensive algos such as ethash.

[Tidsdilatation]

1070TI is always better then a 1080. But a 1080TI is better then a 1070TI. You need to calculate by Sols/watt. And the 1080 draws to much power and has alot of heat output. The 1070ti is overall better at everything compared to the 1080.
