In the past when the graphics card market was even more popular, regular graphics cards were divided into 200 yuan. Due to the large number of models, there are often gaps between different models. Even the first-level model often overclocked to get rid of the above situation. Therefore, Huang Huang's cutting knife method became the topic of discussion after each generation of graphics cards. However, in the 10 series, the gap between 1060, 1070, and 1080 is very clear, and the graphics card does not have much room for overclocking, so there is less discussion about Huang Yidao. However, with the advent of the 1070TI, it seems that there has been a reversal. The specifications of the 1070TI and 1080 are quite similar. Will it cause 1080 loss of purchase value? Or speak by evaluation.




Product Specifications:
1070TI is a product that has both radical and conservative elements. On the scale of the core, the 1070TI is radical, only a set of stream processors is smaller than 1080, which significantly opens the gap with the 1070. From the core frequency point of view, it also reflects the conservative side, all non-public video cards must follow the public version of the frequency can not be overclocked, to pull the gap with 1080. Although memory is reduced from DDR5X to DDR5, it seems that memory does not affect performance too much.
It should be noted that although the 1070TI factory frequency must be the same, it is still open core manual overclocking.



Product packaging and accessories:
Since this time everyone is a unified frequency, there is no obvious difference in which non-public test is used. This time we are using MSI's 1070TI TITANILIM.
The graphics card's packaging is still the traditional color printing carton packaging.



There is also a protective box inside, with the accessories and graphics card body inside.


The attachment of the video card is relatively simple, CD, manual, stickers.



Product appearance introduction:
First of all, two standard photos, quite obvious MSI style.



Video card or dual fan gas stove design.


When the box is out of the box, a translucent sticker will be placed on the graphics card to illustrate his own fan stop function. Remember to tear it off before installing it.


The power supply of the video card is 6+8PIN.


The display interface is 3*DP+1*HDMI+1*DVI.


There are two SLI golden fingers on the back of the video card, which can support dual card exchanges.


The top of the video card also has a LOGO faith light.


The length of the video card is about 27 cm.


The graphics card uses a shoulder design and will be about 3 cm taller than the standard height.



Product dismantling introduction:
Then start disassembling the graphics card.


The back of the graphics card is made of aluminum alloy material, and the insulation pad on the back ensures the security of the graphics card.


You need to be careful when disassembling the video card cooler. There are three lines on him. It will be a little trouble to remove it.


The front cover of the graphics card is covered with two solid PCB reinforcing plates, one for cooling the auxiliary video memory and one for the heat dissipation of the power supply.


In order to cooperate with the fan to stop, the relatively hot chip on the video card PCB will have a thermal pad in contact with the PCB enhanced version.


The fins of the heat sink body are fixed by the buckle FIN and the overall spacing is kept very good. It can be seen that the video card radiator uses 6 heat pipe solutions, one of which is 8mm heat pipe, and the other is 6mm.


The heat pipe has been flattened on the base part, and there are obvious solder marks between the base and the base.


The base is nickel-plated and the mirror effect is not too obvious.


The bending process of the heat pipe is still done quite well, with no obvious folds. The reflow soldering is applied between the heat pipe and the heat sink fins, and there is obvious solder on the heat pipe.


The fan is also a 10 cm fan from Taiwan Power.



Product PCB introduction:
Finally, look at the graphics card PCB material.




The core number of the graphics card is GP04-300-A1, which is the same core derivative with 1080 and 1070. It has witnessed the cutting edge of Lao Huang.


The core is slightly larger than a hairy coin, which is not too large for relative performance.


The video memory is MG5's DDR5 memory, each with a capacity of 1GB and a total of 8GB.


The video card power supply is divided into two parts, the core power supply eight phase and memory power supply two phases.


The core power supply control chip is UP9511P from Taiwan Lizhi, which can directly support 8-phase power supply. The right side of the chip is RAYON's INA3221, which is used to detect the voltage and power of the graphics card.


The core power supply input capacitance is seven daily solid state capacitors (270 microfarads 16V), each phase power supply is driven by a DRIVER, MOS is a M3816N, an output inductor (value LR20), and the output capacitance is 12 daily Solid capacitors (820 microfarad 2.5V). The core power supply materials are fairly good.


There is also a set of PLLs in the corner between the core and the power supply. Because the power supply is not very demanding, it is relatively simple to do.


The PLL-powered output capacitor is placed on the back of the video card. At the same time, we can see that the video card core also adds two polymer capacitors to ensure high-frequency stability.



Memory power supply control chip is UP1641P, input capacitance is a daily solid state capacitor (270 microfarad 16V), each phase power supply MOS is a 0923NDI, one output inductor (value LR20), the output capacitor is three daily Solid capacitors (820 microfarad 2.5V). The material can be considered as a medium-upper level.


A fuse and two rectifying inductors can be seen behind the display interface of the graphics card, which is a standard design.


There are two sockets on the front of the card, 4PIN is the fan socket, and 2PIN is the socket of the dragon claw modeling lamp on the radiator.


There is a set of circuits between the graphics card display interface and the SLI golden finger, which is related to HDMI 2.0.


The low-pass part of the graphics card is a digital chip, and the overall design is relatively simple.



Product test platform:
The following is a detailed configuration table of the test platform. In order to maintain the consistency of the test, it is still 6700K.



The motherboard still uses Z270-Phoenix GAMING.



The memory is a pirate ship's DDR4 8G*4. The actual operating frequency is 2133C15.



The SSD is three INTELs. The system disk uses the more mainstream 535 to ensure that the test is closer to the average user. 240G is used as a system disk, and 480G*2 is mainly used to place test games. More and more games can only be added SSD.


The radiator is 240 captains of Kyushu.



The test platform is Streacom's BC1.



Graphics performance test:
Simple evaluation conclusion:
Because many test items are very complicated, in order to avoid the white look dizzy, first provide the refined version of the test results:

This test mainly uses five graphics cards. The comparison group is the MSI GTX1070 Red Dragon, the Sapphire RX VEGA 56, the MSI GTX1080 Red Dragon, and the Dylan RX VEGA 64 LIQ.

From the overall test, the 1070TI has reached the NV preset target, and it can stabilize the VEGA 56 public version and the future public version. It is already quite close to the VEGA 64 air-cooled version.

In terms of power consumption, since the frequency of the 1070TI is not high, the 1070TI is currently the best card in the high-end card.



Performance test project description:
For children's shoes that are interested in learning more about comparative performance, detailed test data will be provided here. The test will roughly be divided into the following parts: GPU theoretical performance, GPU benchmarking, game performance testing, professional software testing, and power consumption testing. The amount of data in this article is more violent. If you feel dizzy, you can watch it slowly. It takes a price to know the truth. If you don't care, don't complain when you're pitted.




Graphics performance testing and analysis:
The GPU theoretical performance test was performed using AIDA64's built-in tools. There is no special surprise in this part, just below 1080.


The 3D benchmark test mainly runs some benchmark software. From the test results, the 1070TI will be less than 1080 non-public 11%, and less than 1070 non-public 7%. So it's just somewhere in between.


3D game testing, the table will be DX9 ~ DX12 different generations of games are categorized, this will be more clear. Due to the timing of performance testing, the test items will be different.


In terms of game performance, the gap between 1080 and 1070TI is slightly narrower, and the gap with 1070 is slightly larger. From the game generation point of view, similar to other N-card trends, DX9 and DX11 have more obvious advantages than A-cards. A card on DX12 will pull back some.


Professional software performance testing just look just fine, this project is generally speaking A card will be better with the level of N card.


Last summary of a simple performance test.


Video card power test:
From the power consumption test point of view, 1070TI under the default power control is quite good, even less than 1070 non-public version.




Actual operating parameters:
Although the frequency of the 1070TI is subject to certain restrictions, the operating frequency is not very low. In bare metal operation, the frequency can reach 1.85 or more, but it will not exceed 1.9. The memory frequency is about 8G.


Historical test comparison:
Here is a comparison of the graphics cards I have tested since this time. Since the test items will be different, the results are for reference only. From the table, it can be clearly seen that the biggest highlight of the 1070TI is the energy consumption ratio.



Simple overclocking test:

At present, 1070TI is a hot spot that this video card can not be super good or bad, then I test the conclusion is to be able to overclock, but the value is not.

First of all, it is still necessary to emphasize that there is a clear risk of overclocking the graphics card, which may cause the graphics card to burn or reduce its lifetime. There is no special reason or recommendation.

1070TI this time is completely prohibited from factory pre-clocking, but is still open for manual overclocking, so as long as the graphics card manufacturers use third-party software can achieve overclocking.

Nowadays, with the development of several generations of graphics cards, overclocking is relatively brainless, as long as the power consumption limit is relaxed and the core and memory frequency can be increased. The automatic adjustment of the core voltage makes the card's overclocking really safe.

It should be noted that the frequency here refers to the improvement of the baseline and Turbo frequency, so it is not recommended to pull too much. This generation of N-cards is relatively high if it is considered to use the basic core 2.0~2.1, and memory cards should generally be less than 8300.

At the same time, in order to avoid video corruption, it is recommended to turn off the default fan stop mode of the graphics card so that the video card fan will keep turning at all times to avoid overheating the video memory and power supply.


My adjustment here is rather conservative. The core frequency is increased by 99, so the Turbo frequency will reach 1987. The frequency of memory frequency pulls up to 8424, basically reaching a non-public level of 1070.
From the test results point of view, the overall frequency increase of 5% or so, will also bring about 5% performance improvement, but the power consumption will increase by 11%.
So on the whole, because the overclocking amplitude can't be very big, the 1070TI overclocking can't bring obvious performance improvement, but at the same time it will destroy the fairly good energy consumption ratio of the 1070TI. It's completely worth the candle.



Simple summary:
About the performance of the graphics card:
The performance of the 1070TI is quite satisfactory, and it is quite close to 1080 (5%) at the same frequency. However, since BOOST has already drained the potential of core frequency, it is very difficult to go above and beyond 1080.

About the video card's power consumption:
Energy consumption ratio is a major highlight of the 1070TI, because it does not pursue the frequency too much, but it makes the energy consumption ratio look very beautiful.

About the graphics work:
As far as the MSI card is concerned, the overall workmanship is still worthy of his position. There are no obvious points in the use of materials and workmanship.

About the heat dissipation of the graphics card:
Since this 1070TI is a non-public card, and basically changed from 1070, 1080, so there will not be much problem on the cooling.

In general, the 1070TI will still have a certain purchase value in the existing price system, and its performance and power consumption are fairly good. At the same time you can consider overclocking if you have enough egg pain. Of course, I'm very unprofessional. It's completely worth the candle. From this matter we can also see that the AN competition is valuable. Even VEGA's embarrassing products can allow Huang to hurry to cut a knife. If AMD can produce products well, this year's chickens are not expected to be tight. Of course, if the 1070TI allows the 1070 to lower its price, it must be the most perfect.

Finally, the routine tour time:
