Performance Analysis
The 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating on the GTX 1080 exceeds the 6.5 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating on the GTX 1070 by a ratio of 1.37 to 1. This difference translates to proportionally higher throughput for dense FP32 operations in training and inference tasks. Memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s on the GTX 1080 versus 256 GB/s on the GTX 1070 allows larger batch sizes before memory becomes the limiting factor. The 180W TDP on the GTX 1080 compared with the 150W TDP on the GTX 1070 indicates increased power draw that must be accounted for in sustained dense FP32 workloads.

When to Choose the GTX 1070
The GTX 1070 suits environments where power limits constrain total system draw to 150W TDP. Its 6.5 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating remains adequate for lighter scientific computing jobs that fit within 8 GB GDDR5 capacity and 256 GB/s bandwidth.
When to Choose the GTX 1080
The GTX 1080 fits workloads that benefit from the full 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating and 320 GB/s bandwidth. Its 8-11 GB GDDR5X capacity supports larger models than the 8 GB limit on the GTX 1070 while maintaining the same PCIe 3.0 interconnect.
Use Cases
The 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating exceeds the 6.5 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating and pairs with 320 GB/s bandwidth.
Higher dense FP32 throughput of 8.9 TFLOPS supports faster token generation than 6.5 TFLOPS.
The 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 and 320 GB/s bandwidth accommodate larger batch sizes than the GTX 1070.
Memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s and 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 improve iteration speed over 256 GB/s and 6.5 TFLOPS.
Both cards share the same 2016 Pascal architecture and PCIe 3.0 interconnect with comparable VRAM capacity.
