sent in a faulty 980TI OC s it died and they have sent me out a 1070 Founder edition ..
 
I have another 2 x 980ti in sli and now this puts me in a situation where i cant use all 3 cards .
 
now also im pretty sure my 980ti OC would trounce the 1070 founders .
 
no phone call no email to say what they were doing nothing .. my blood is boiling .
 
 

The 1070 performs the same as the 980ti, which was its entire selling point at release. You also gain many features that the 980ti does not have.

Contact EVGA directly, so they can assist you with the rest of the cards or replace the 1070 with another 980ti. Usually when they upgrade you, its because there are no other 980ti's available.

So... you'll possibly be upgraded to 8gb rather than 6gb. The only downfall is that nvidia doesnt directly support 3 way sli, which didnt scale when the 980ti's were out. That isnt something to get upset about. Be happy for upgrades if they are able to help.

When you put in for your rma did you check the box thst said it was a card in a sli setup? EVGA will typically not upgrade you if you did, and usually will let you know the situation with stock and your choices.

I am pretty sure i did yes i wouldn't of said i didn't have sli as i also have the other 2 cards registered under warranty .

The reason I asked is because its very common for people to glance right over that question and not check it, just trying to hurry up and get the rma going. Its happened many times. Theres no option to say that you don't have sli, it just asks whether its part of a sli config. From what you've said it sounds like that exact situation, especially with EVGA's response to your RMA. They will have all the pertinent info and will be able to show you if you did so lets see what they say.

im more upset with 2 x perfectly working 980ti sc acx 2.0 which are great cards . now im stuck .
 
i have sent a support request .

I'm sure EVGA will come through for you. If they don't have any 980ti sc acx 2.0 in stock and won't have any in the future and you really really want matching cards hit me up maybe I can trade ya my 980ti sc acx 2.0 for 1070.

I am having the same issues with evga right now my original 980ti burnt out and nearly caused a house fire if I wasn't right there to shut it down and prevent thousands of dollars of equipment from being destroyed with my card. I've had nothing but grief in dealing with customer service I've left messages for managers which were never returned. I've dealt with ten different customer service agents who seem to disregard any information I give them and end up telling me the same basic steps I've already gone through multiple times.

As far as 1070 being equal This isn't true as my benchmarks show the 980ti I originally had does better then the 1070 and they finally agreed to send me another 980ti which also out benchmarked the 1070 but ended up having awful artifacting issues. I sent that one back almost a month ago and no one has contacted me about my next step as if they are just hoping I keep the 1070 and keep my mouth shut and stay complacent.

I have heard many good things about this company and its customer service and as someone who has owned products from them for over 15 years i really expected much better treatment for the first product issue I've had on the most expensive part I've purchased from them yet. I was considering upgrading to a 1080ti now because I'm getting sick of seeing a middle of the pack card as a replacement for the biggest upgrade I've purchased for my build in a long time but why should I be forced to do so because they refuse to help me with a RMA. I just sent an email hoping to resolve this issue and I hope everyone else who spent $600 + on a graphics card in the past 2 years doesn't have to deal with this process because it truly is ridiculous.

Your benchmarks are wrong. There isn't a single professional review out there that doesn't show the 1070 with a 10% or so advantage over the 980ti. It is faster.

I would like to his benchmarks so I can compare them to my 1070

I can pick for 100's of scores on 3DMark to this Compare but not really the Point also their are a lot of Higher Scores on the 980Ti higher than yours.

They are not overclocked and I am the user aftermath that was the benchmark of my computer with the old card and the new card with no difference in hardware besides the cards and current drivers unfortunately I cannot test it with current drivers because it was sent into evga two months ago. Not sure why the cpu shows such a significant difference in performance since it's the same one.

The price to performance ratio means nothing to me because I spent the high premium for the highest performance card available at the time, a replacement should not suffice because it's a better value. From what I read they send you an equal or better performing card if your card does not survive the warranty period due to a fault in the product.

Could be many things causing the difference. .5% is well within tolerance for both cards, so your performance is the same. The 2 gb extra on the 1070, as well as ansel and other feature would make the .5% well worth it to most.

Could you try a couple of different gpu drivers with the 1070 to see if that has any effect on the gpu? I see that your last test (the one you posted) was 3 months ago. I am just curious if there have been better optimizations since then.

That's a good point I'll give it another go when I get home from work those benchmarks are from when I first received the initial rma replacement.

I am going to send you a pm. I don't want to hijack this thread.

I apologize for the inconvenience Patch2k. I can confirm, however, that in almost every case the 1070 outperforms the 980 Ti. It's possible that there are a few games in which the 980 Ti is a better choice, but the additional memory along with power and heat savings mean that I would much prefer the 1070 at this point.
