Benchmark Scores | bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o |
well i decided for the 1070 because the MSI Armor was nice and was the only one at 456chf/416.34€ which was the only one cheaper than a FENvidia has always been consistent with scaling, performance-wise, with their GPU models. For instance, 2x970s performed slightly better than a single 980ti but the latter had more VRam and cost a little less. One would assume that the same would take place again if and/or when the 1080ti is released. The price will probably be slightly lower than the total cost of two 1070s, so around MSRP of $750 or so, which would probably translate to around £750 in the UK (?). Meanwhile, the price locally would probably be around €900 if I take in mind that the cheapest 1070 is around €470 - bloody hell.
The release of the 980ti also dragged the price of the 980 down too. It could be the same story again. I am waiting on the 1080ti myself and decide if it's worth upgrading or not. Probably the latter.
nope the 1070 Armor is same PCB as the Gaming X minus one 6 pin and 2 powerphase and capacitor (which is still more than a FE ) so i can decently think the 1080 variante would be alike.My understanding from the 900 Series, is that the ARMOR is a simply a Reference Card with the custom cooler, hence the lower price.
BTW I love the Black and White shroud as it will go with any color scheme. No matter how good the Twin Frozr cooler is, there are many who buy the card because MSI forces the Red on it's shroud.
and also the Armor version seems to perform better at stock than the Gaming X at stock ....

detailed charts on each bench (slightly and just above the gaming X)
here also i could expect the 1080 variant to act same
