Hey guys, needing to upgrade my GTX 970. Do you think GTX 1080 has a big advantage against a GTX 1070ti using Eevee?
1080, more CUDA and VRAM freq
The difference will be almost not noticable
Those cards are quite simple to compare since they have same Vram, TDP, etc.
1080 is a bit faster than the 1070ti.
So you can pretty much decide on the performance/$ ratio if the 1080 is still worth it for you.
Yeah 1080 is better. But since Eevee is real time, does it impact it that much?
You can probably also find some 1080Ti second hand at a decent price. I just picked up two. Even new is going to be a better choice if you don’t want to take a chance on an old one. It is worth it for the extra 3G of ram you get. 8Gigs is nothing for a scene. You can use that up quickly. So 11Gigs, while really still not enough, at least gives you some head room for medium size scenes. And overall, it will have better performance, and that this may or may not be negligible, I think you have to look at the overall specs.
Overall, I do agree that the 1070Ti is a nice sweet spot for price/performance. I was looking at that as well. But in the end decided on the 1080 ti for the reasons above.
