How in the world is this GTX 1070 beating a $1000 GPU??? This graphic card cost around $400 which is 40% of the GTX Titan X value, but preforms even better? On another note, will there be any bottlenecks with a i7 6800k?

progress.
Just the regular GTX Titan. I was surprised in 1 year, Nvidia was able to do something like this. Of course, there's no way it could pass the Pascal Titan. However, is the Pascal Titan worth it? Every year there always seem to be a huge upgrade.
 
Don't underestimate the impact of skipping an entire process node. Or to look at it another way, being stuck on the same process for multiple releases. The last generation of GPU's were some of the hottest and highest draw components we've ever seen. That's a big reason why they were able to hit lower power and higher frequencies in the same card. Usually you only get one or the other each generation.

And far as I know, no single card is going to be bottlenecked by a 6800k.

Wait, the Kepler titan from a few years ago?

Either way tech is always evolving. You want max performance now, you most certainly pay premium for it.

Another good example is the 1060. The GTX 1060 offers GTX 980 performance for half the price.
