Is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti right for you?
If you find a 1070 Ti at a genuinely low price (well under £100) and mostly play older games or esports titles at 1080p, it's a reasonable temporary solution. Nothing more than that.
If you want to play the latest games at decent settings, or you're building new and would otherwise buy a new entry-level card, the 1070 Ti's missing features and ageing drivers will hold you back.
Before you buy
Only at a very low used price, well under £100, and only if you play older games or esports titles. Even a new RX 7600 or used RTX 3060 delivers far better gaming with ray tracing and DLSS support.
No. The 1070 Ti is pre-RTX hardware and has no ray tracing cores. Any game that uses ray tracing will run with RT disabled. For modern RT gaming, you need an RTX 20-series card or newer.
No. DLSS requires Nvidia's tensor cores, which were introduced with the RTX 20 series. The 1070 Ti is Pascal-era hardware and predates that technology entirely.
Yes, as long as you have a PCIe x16 slot and the standard 8-pin PCIe power connector available. The card uses traditional power connectors rather than 12VHPWR, so most existing PSUs will work.
