laumaya Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hi all, I'm thinking to upgrade my GTX970 to Zotac GTX1070 TI mini. My computer case can fit 27 cm length graphics card.

laumaya Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Here measurement if that is your concern Thanks. Sorry I was not clear. I know that this card fit in my pc case. My question is about performances.

BitMaster Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I went from 980 to 1080ti and quasi doubled my performance. You can then either rise LOD or Resolution or enjoy more fps, or a mix of that to absorb the power ;) Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluminum Donkey Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hi all, I'm thinking to upgrade my GTX970 to Zotac GTX1070 TI mini. My computer case can fit 27 cm length graphics card. What do you think about this choice ? I have a Zotac GTX 1070 Mini (not the Ti version, regular 1070) and it's actually very good! It was the cheapest 1070 I could find when I upgraded from a GTX 760 2GB :) The cooler is actually very good, but I use a custom fan profile in MSI Afterburner. With my card overclocked about as high as I can get it to go, I rarely see temps approaching 65C. Runs mostly high settings in DCS on my 2560 x 1440 display. I clamp my framerate to 50 FPS, and it rarely dips below that. I use 2x MSAA and no other antialiasing. If you get a good price on it, go for it!

MTFDarkEagle Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Interesting question... Actually I'm in the same boat. I was planning on upgrading my RAM from 16 to 32GB, but have come to doubt if it wouldn't be better to upgrade my 970 to a 1070ti...

FragBum Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 What is the cost difference to a 2080 where you guys are?? The 2080 is about the same performance as a 1080Ti and a tad more future proof, shame about the 8GB VRAM. Albeit "maybe" with some early teething issues. For me I'd wait let the dust and price settle. The price might even drop on 2080Ti 's. I went from a 980Ti to a 1080Ti, and roughly a 980Ti is about equal to a 1070(Ti) depending,.. I think it's best to get a decent GPU upgrade that will likely last longer. YMMV,. :D Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above. Currently rolling with a Asus Z390 Prime, 9600K, 32GB RAM, SSD, 2080Ti and Windows 10Pro, Rift CV1. bu0836x and Scratch Built Pedals, Collective and Cyclic.

You will see a big jump in performance. I went from a 970 to a 1070 for 1440p gaming and it was a big difference. No brainer that one.

Archer_111 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Which GPU gives better performances in DCS 2.53 (+) with and without VR, 1070Ti or 1080? how about 1070 vs 1080 ? is it worthy to pay the price difference ? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svsmokey Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 For VR , i think the 1080 would prove superior . Something about memory lanes i can't recall the specifics of . As to price difference -only you can judge that !

etherbattx Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 the 1070 works surprisingly well for VR. it might actually be the best value option around when comparing price/performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David OC Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I had the 1070 before going to the 1080ti It could handle VR quite well, I upgraded so I could play larger missions. The 1080ti just gave me a bit more wiggle room with settings / mission size. Keep the mission to a reasonable amount and you'll have no problems. Also, that was many updates back, when I had the 1070 so things change, good and bad.;) i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.

Headwarp Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Might depend on the headset. Samsung Odyssey I had to run 1.0 PD and low textures on my 980Ti to get 45fps, which is comparable to the 1070 in performance. Rift at native resolution probably a little less demanding.
