Buying a GPU 1070ti vs 2070

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I got a new pc and have to decide which of this 2 cards to buy. 1080 is 20-30 euro more than 2070 here, so I didn't mention it at all, but my problem is - is 2070 worth it if it doesn't support Iray? May be RayTracing will be a thing in Daz too?

    Whether the RTX series supports Iray right now is unclear. However, I'm sure Nvidia will update Iray soon enough. Daz will then update their version.

    It was a couple of months before Iray could use the Pascal architecture when it was released. 

    Frankly I'd go for the 1070ti as it has more CUDA cores, which is what Iray is most concerned with, unless Nvidia states that VRAM pooling will be a feature of RTX cards and not just the Quadro RTX line. However, that will require 2 2070s. Still, if it is supported in the non-Quadro line, it would be worth it to get one 2070 now and one later, that way you'd have 16GB VRAM and 4604 CUDA cores. If you get 2 1070s, you'll have 4800 cores, but still only 8GB VRAM total.

    Checking the Nvidia forums, the 4.11 beta can use RTX cards.

    However, there's still the question of whether NVLINK memory pooling is supported on the non-Quadro GPUs.

    I am pretty sure NVLINK exist only on 2080 and 2080ti, but not on 2070.
