Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti review The best 1440p graphics card in weird graphics card times
0Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti review The best 1440p graphics card in weird graphics card times.
This GeForce GTX 1070 Ti review probably exists only because AMD’s Radeon Vega 56 exists.
Nvidia’s GTX-10 series debuted nearly a year and a half ago with the launch of the GeForce GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 in May, 2016. The duo received price cuts since then—the GTX 1070 to $350 and the GTX 1080 to $500, theoretically—but we never heard a whisper about a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti designed to slot between the two. Until AMD’s Radeon RX Vega graphics cards launched.
The disappointing Vega 64 ran hot and loud while failing to best the GTX 1080. But the (theoretically) $400 Radeon Vega 56 proved much more appealing—and its performance outpunches the GTX 1070 in many games. Surprise! Two months later the $450 GeForce GTX 1070 Ti appears, at a price just below what the $470 Vega 56 is actually selling for on the street.
