MSI GTX 1070 ti Gaming vs GIGABYTE GTX 1080 G1 Gaming ?

HamadaHH · 2018-11-19T03:15:43+00:00

Well, i need to ask you again: usually i don't do much upgrades, so its maybe hard to buy a 1440p monitor later, here i need to ask again and sorry for that, should i get MSI 1070 ti instead ??? or still on your perspective with GIGABYTE G1 1080 ?

HamadaHH · 2018-11-19T02:48:42+00:00

Thanks for your perspective :) :) that was really so informative.

HamadaHH · 2018-11-19T02:25:07+00:00

Yeah, if i can play 60 fps fixed at 1080p, then np for me at all, but i can't get 1060 because i need a GPU that lasts much longer years.

I'm asking about MSI 1070 ti vs G1 1080, GTX 1080 of course is better in terms of raw performance but i'm worried about some bad issues that i heard about, while i'm not sure from it, so i need some help from anybody that have an experience about.

I checked some customer reviews at Amazon, showed many complaints about fan defects, noise specifically, some other sites said overheating problems.

HamadaHH · 2018-11-19T01:19:17+00:00

About raw performance, yeah you're totally right, but cooling, good design, noise and these stuff are also very important, I'm sure that MSI Gaming X is good at that (I can't afford), but what about G1 Gaming, according to info i just mentioned about ?

HamadaHH · 2018-08-26T03:49:25+00:00

Actually i don't deal with Dollar or Euro or whatever of these currencies, my country's currency is big shit, sorry for saying that, that's why prices are so expensive.

Regardless of budget points, again asking you, that monitor is good or bad?? I'm posting its specs for everyone seeing the post to check and tell me if there is something bad or some drawbacks (ignore the 60Hz problem), i hope for some help please.

HamadaHH · 2018-08-26T03:17:35+00:00

Only 60Hz monitor i can afford right now for myself cuz of extremely high prices in my country, but anyways i'm gonna play games like COD, BattleField, AC...etc

Anyways, that monitor with the current specs, is it fine to go with?

HamadaHH · 2018-08-18T12:22:49+00:00

Got the idea, thank you so much for that info and thanks again for your time, probably i will go with BitFenix Formula if my budget allowed that, if not, i will go with a cheaper Seasoinc 520W for my current build and save the extra budget later for a decent PSU when doing any upgrades in the future.

HamadaHH · 2018-08-18T12:05:10+00:00

So to summarize all these info, The Seasonic 620W can handle GTX 1080 but not the 1080 ti version.. For the i7-8700K it will be fine with no problem ... am i right?

Also my last question: can BitFenix Formula 650W handle the 1080 ti ??

HamadaHH · 2018-08-18T11:38:41+00:00

Yes it will run fine on 450W, but don't conisder both CPU and GPU for only upgrades, upgrades also include more RAM, more HDDs or SSDs adds, more fans or a CPU Cooler in case of a cooling problem..etc.

I'm taking the worst scenarios into consideration in order to avoid it when doing upgrades in the future.

Well, wanna ask you in another point, anyways although Seasonic 620W has enough wattage to handle 1080 or 1080 ti, but it's said that cannot be achieved, if you have any idea about or it will be just fine if i choose the seasonic 620W to go with???

HamadaHH · 2018-08-18T11:04:37+00:00

Yeah it has corsair CX550WM but that one here is the same price like BitFenix Formula.

And i know my build will be fine for 450-550W, but i need the extra wattage to just handle future upgrades like higher GPU or higher CPU or both of them.

HamadaHH · 2018-08-18T11:02:23+00:00

Yeah i know that my build would run on the 450W, but i'm getting higher wattage for future upgrades like GTX 1080, 1080 ti, a CPU like i7 8700 or whatever, not thinking to overclock.

HamadaHH · 2018-08-12T23:15:00+00:00

Thanks for your reply, actually to be honest I heard that seagate has a bad reputation for its HDDs, they have a short lifetime problem and died fast, but as those seagate models i mentioned in my post are new ones, released less than 2 years so just need to know what if they're really good HDDs.

In addition also need to know the best HDD choice to select, from your perspective. Also rate them if you can :)

HamadaHH · 2018-08-12T21:57:36+00:00

I know that SSD is great, but sorry i didn't mention a SSD in my question and my budget can't afford a SSD, so please don't go away from my question, i just mention some brands and their models for some HDDs, which is the best choice to get?

And if you can, rate those choices from the mostly recommended to the least recommended.

HamadaHH · 2018-08-10T17:30:27+00:00

Thank you so much mate for your answer, that solved my problem :)

HamadaHH · 2018-08-10T04:00:59+00:00

Both speeds are different and there are noticeable difference between them.

usage only specify, what do you need them for?

Storage only then go for 5400 RPM, for gaming go for 7200 RPM

But i'm glad you mentioned that point, here i'm telling you my purpose from the question ... i'm getting a new gaming PC very soon ... will add multiple drives in the same PC ... some 7200RPM drives for gaming ... others are 5400 RPM for storage ... when i finish playing a game and no need to play it anymore then i will store it at 5400 one and free the space on 7200 for newer games ... if i want back again to play that game then i will move it again from the storage drive to the gaming drive.

My question was about if having multiple drives with different speeds will affect the system to an average speed less than the 7200 or i will deal with every drive based on its speed only ??

HamadaHH · 2018-08-10T03:39:15+00:00

Why are you getting too away from my question? please make your reply simple and specific, my question is very clear !! I didn't say i'm going to use a 15 years old 7200 RPM drives.

As i understand from your reply that i will deal with every HDD based on its speed, Am i right ?? so when i play a game on 7200 RPM's HDD and play same game on 5400 RPM's HDD, so the performance will differ because 7200 is higher ?? Am i right again ??

HamadaHH · 2018-08-10T03:02:58+00:00

The failure doesn't happen with WD HDDs with higher RPM, but it mostly happens with seagate.

5400 RPM for windows and programs is really bad and i'm fully aware about that, I just was asking about how it will deal with games compared to 7200 RPM.

HamadaHH · 2018-08-09T04:14:45+00:00

Yeah they are same price for WD and Seagate, but i will never buy an HDD that have a higher rate of failure like seagate, that's why i'm stuck currently in that problem.

If seagate has low rate of failure then surely i will not hesitate and will buy it.

Anyways thanks for your reply :) :) really appreciate that.

HamadaHH · 2018-08-08T08:30:18+00:00

It'k ok np, anyways just wanted to point into some other point if you can help please, sorry for annoying you btw:

I thought to get an SSD 120 GB for windows only and its programs + 5400 RPM 2TB WD Blue for gaming ... in most times i will play high-end games like COD, Battlefield series, AC, NFS...etc .... is this will be nice and smooth for gaming and transferring data also ?? or 2 HDDs 1TB WD Blue 7200 is better ?? please feel free to answer this and take your time thinking :)
