Finally! Thank you so much. Can't find anything comparing an OC'd 980

 

GTX 1070 looking pretty good.

I wish they had added minimum framerate though

Added GTX 980 and Fury to the summary in OP

 

Would be nice to add the clock speed used in the quote (970, etc.).

 

Important to note for those trying to upgrade from the 980 Ti or Titan X to the 1070 running a 2560x1440 or 4K monitor...

For the love of god, don't.

 

At 1550 MHz on a 980Ti I should be roughly the same or slightly faster than a 1070 and about -20% to a 1080. $300-400 to upgrade for 10-20fps is not worth it.

 

Finally, a comprehensive(ish) resource for easy comparison.

Looks like my choice of the gtx 1080 was a good one, I'm looking forward to playing with that baby on June 21st.

 

I can only get a max of about 1453 or so on my 980Ti Hybrid (I always seem to lose the silicon lottery :/), so this comparison is about right on the money for me.

 

I came across this today and had a good look at their benchmarks. I love how Overclockers Club review GPUs, they're one of my favorite review sites.

Interestingly the GTX 1070 stumbles when running The Division at 4K.

A driver update may increase the performance in situations like this. Driver updates which increase the performance in certain games were seen for the GTX 970 and 980.
Or it could be the memory bandwidth holding back the performance, I think it is unlikely that the memory bandwidth would be holding back the performance to this extent though.

 

Oh this is good:

GTX 1070 - $380
GTX 980TI ~ $369 = ( $380 / 1.03 )
GTX 1080 ~ $454 = ( $369 * 1.23)

$599 - $454 = $145 - Premium for a 23% increase.

 

Darn, they must have a sucky 980Ti or these two used ones I have run great. My two I can fold at around 1530MHz and bench at 1570MHz. They stock boost to around 1498MHz.

Still, hope they compare the big die once it drops later on. Anyone folded on these cards yet?

 

my verdict:

1070 - the winner overall .. a great purchase right now for a meaningful upgrade, hits that sweet sweet spot just right

980Ti - still an amazing card even now, probably no need to upgrade to 1080 from a 980Ti

1080 - fastest and most expensive, the power is there, the value - not so much

any 980Ti that is always 100% stable above 1500 is already an above average unit

Why are you using $369 for the 980 Ti?

 

the 1080 is a beast i'm waiting for an asus strix i hope it go above 2 ghz stable

2nd hand / used price?

I'm still finding it hard to believe that anyone would pay the same price for a used GTX 980 Ti than a GTX 1070 when both have virtually the same performance but:

- The GTX 980 Ti would be used.
- The GTX 980 Ti has 25% less VRAM.
- The GTX 980 Ti is probably out of driver updates.
- The GTX 980 Ti uses way more power.

I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used GTX 980 Ti.

 

Cool, so the OC results are more or less what you'd expect when looking at the stock results... 1080 > Titan X ~= 980 Ti ~= 1070

The 1070 is clearly a killer card @ $379 in the current market.

It's probably going to be a while until a 1070 is 369 and stock will probably take a while? While maybe not the best value, it's hard to pass up the performance now for cheap(compared to release price). Driver support should be fine for a while atleast, and most don't care about your other 3 points.

 

When you factor in price, nothing really blows me away. Seems like the 1070 is already choking at 1440p with current games. Meh. Just meh. Maybe the 1080 Ti will impress me.

$30(all shipping cost) for me to step-up my 980Ti to a 1080FE, completely worth it. If you bought your 980Ti before March and not from EVGA, then your $$ calculation holds.

 

They should have cut down the 1070 less, they got it down not just 20% like before but now 25% compared to 1080, really kills the performance for 1070.

care to enlighten us where you saw that exactly

because the actual graphs show the exact opposite

1070 = perfect value 1440p card right now, there is nothing better thats not used

its like you're literally saying the exact oppisite of what is actually in those benchmarks

1070 is ~20% less than 1080 at a $380-450 price

some people live in their own alternate realities I swear

 

Can't believe Nvidia at the reveal with the magical 2115Mhz 1080.

2Ghz seems around the limit. Patently doesn't overclock as well as Maxwell.

Since you seem a little challenged, sure.

1440p and OCed:

Witcher 3: 56 FPS
AotS: 61 FPS

WOW it just rapes!

Next year when newer, more demanding games release, it'll be even slower. The only viable card for 1440p at a decent frame rate is the 1080, and for a thousand bucks Canadian, no thanks.

 

Are the 900 series cards also overclocked in these benchmarks?

Because if not the 1070/1080 are even more underwhelming then I was led to believe.. and the fact that with the reference cooler on the 1070/1080 gets VERY HOT and throttles all the way down to stock speeds in some cases.
2GHz being the barrier for OC as well, while Nvidia were showcasing 2100Mhz+ OC "on air, 67C."

Damn. Pretty disappointing especially at flagship price point with the 1080.
