Important preliminary remarks

Since the actual performance of all board partner cards of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti ex works has to be very similar due to the fixed base and boost offset for all manufacturers, the real achieved results depend more on the actual achieved in practice. Boost cycle, and thus indirectly from the cooling and primarily also the quality of the respective chip.

Within the necessary tolerance ranges, it is definitely NOT possible that the performance of a particular card could be preceded by all others. We have therefore no longer used a manufacturer's name for the benchmarks, because according to chip quality, any card from any manufacturer can tend to the lower or upper performance limit.

Each test based on benchmark bars is therefore only a random snapshot of a single specimen. This is precisely why we have focused on the actual technical implementation of each model and have been able to document this very well with our equipment.

The following tests will show once again how pointless it is to test cards only in the open bench table. Depending on the design, possible vulnerabilities and weaknesses of the radiator design only appear in the built-in state. Therefore, it is imperative to test and contrast both in the end.

Overview of all maps tested so far

Below we list all our extensive individual reviews for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which score above all in terms of technical features and the details of the implementation in production. So if you want to go into the depths in addition to the comparative evaluations of this summary, you are of course invited to do so:

Test system and measurement methods

The new test system and the methodology have already been described in great detail in the basic article "How We Test Graphics Cards" (English: "How We Test Graphics Cards") and therefore, for the sake of simplicity, we now only refer to this detailed Description. So if you want to read everything again, you are welcome to do so. However, we have improved CPU and cooling once again in order to largely exclude possible CPU bottle necks for this fast card.
