Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti review: In between, above or next to it?

Anyone who thinks that Nvidia has already brought all feasible GPUs based on the Pascal architecture is of course hugely mistaken. Despite a fairly extensive selection of GeForce GTX 10 cards, the company is also the... In direct competition, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti must of course compete primarily with the Radeon RX Vega 56.

In direct competition, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti must of course compete primarily with the Radeon RX Vega 56. In addition, we are also 100% sure that players also want to know how the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti beats the faster and more expensive GeForce GTX 1080 and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. That's why we include them in our benchmark results. We'll also add the GeForce GTX 1070 to complete the Pascal-based hardware. AMD's Radeon RX Vega 64 is not to be missed.

The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti used for our game tests is the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Titanium 8G from MSI. The performance should be representative of Nvidia's Founders Edition Board or any other standard-clock partner card, as they all ship uniformly. Since our test samples of the Founders Edition also came very late this time, there was only time for random plausibility tests in the individual benchmarks. And they have been able to fully confirm this statement.

Software and drivers

In the run-up to today's review, we have completely redesigned the software suite of our platform. Installing the Windows 10 Creators update caused all sorts of problems with PresentMon, OCAT and our own custom front end, but we thought it was important to keep our operating systems up to date.

As a result, we used a combination of OCAT 1.1.0 and PMG 0.9.21 to collect the required data or to collect the required data. (Performance In DirectX, OpenGL and Volcano), along with a new build of our own log file interpreter to take this information into Excel. All Nvidia cards were compared to driver versions 388.00 and 388.09, while AMD's cards were tested with the current Crimson ReLive Edition 17.10.3.

Test

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.

If you are interested, the summary in table form quickly provides a brief overview:
