Boost Clocks
The ASUS Strix comes with a mild factory overclock you enable in the GPU-Tweak Software, which has benefits when the GPU Boost 3.0 technology kicks into gear. The extra cooling performance of the DirectCU cooler in comparison with the single fan nVidia effort has particular benefits in the average clock speed, where the nVidia had an average boost of 1829MHz but the Strix manages 1882MHz. That'll definitely improve the frame rates. Even the peak boost is better with the nVidia offering 1911MHz and the ASUS giving 1936MHz. You can tell we've been doing this too long when we notice that the peak boost speeds of both are 3MHz behind the start dates of the two world wars. Coincidences are fun.

Well, unless Tom tested them all again for the review.Quote

So in this case I'm using Guru3D's review of the 1070Ti. I've gone to the Hitman benchmark, and instead of using their supplied graphs, I provide my own. As in, I take a more recent GTX 1080 review posted by them a couple of months ago and compared the two cards with that data rather than the original 1080 review from mid-2016. At 1440p, the 1070Ti scored 100 FPS in Hitman, while the 1080 scored 114 FPS. That's more indicative of what most people should be seeing. I did the same with GOW4 and the 1080 was 13% faster than the 1070Ti. Again, a more expected and accurate result.

I didn't expect the Ti to beat the 1080. We all knew it wouldn't really. It was just to make the higher mid range cheaper. The 1070 IMO is starting to creak and show its age now, not being any faster than the old gen high end. We needed something just that bit better.
Tis a good release by Nvidia, I just hope the prices are right.Quote
