Micheal, 

Nvidia's 1070 and 1070ti seem to differ in cuda cores and  base-clock. Unless I am wrong, they both have the same memory speed and size. 8 gigs? 

For SPA on a multi GPU workstation, common bottlenecks are number of gpus, gpu memory and IO. 

Given that both of these cards have the same about of memory, you can't really go wrong with either of them. Let their price make the decision for you 😊

Dear list,

 

I’m looking for some up to date advice on GPUs to include in a desktop workstation build.  We have had good experience thus far with the GTX1070 Founders Edition cards as well as the Asus GTX1070 Turbo cards.  Since we purchased these, the 1070Ti and 1080 cards have hit the market, but we are having trouble locating stock of Asus 1080 Turbo (and of course, Founders edition cards are pretty much gone too).

 

I’ve looked for advice online regarding 1070 vs 1070Ti, but most of what I can find comes from gamers and I’m aware that what works for gamers might not be idea for people wanting to do SPA image processing. Does anyone have an opinion of whether the 1070Ti Turbo or 1070 Turbo would be a better option, in lieu of the 1080s?  Or is there something else I should consider instead?  These will likely go into a dual GPU desktop box (i.e. not looking to rackmount in a server or anything like that, and not looking to expand to a quad GPU box).

 

Thanks in advance,

Michael
