Nvidia GTX 1070: The Full Specifications

[jaber2]

I can wait for the bench tests

 

[nitrium]

I almost want to call it a rebranded 980ti hehe. But for $450(launch price in a month) instead of $565(cheapest on newegg as of posting, for a reference clock 980ti).

Yep, if you're about to buy a 980Ti (or just bought one) you've simply burned your money. This is always the case when the next-gen releases, which is why I don't understand people buying high-end GPUs when you KNOW new ones are just a few weeks away. In theory 980Ti's should drop in price soon to reflect their relative performance.

I will need to see the benchmarks first to make sure it's a solid upgrade over the 970.

 

[Poozle]

in terms of connections and power requirements, can I swap a gtx 1070 for a gtx970? I have an Alienware x51 r3 with the gtx970, it's the VR bundle they sell. It has a limited power supply.

Yes

 

[Poozle]

I too think this is more power consumption advertised than what is actually going to be consumed. Also, I can't wait for the 980ti price drops to 300$

 

[asgallant]

For $370. That's a steal! My best guess is that the GTX 1070 will be inbetween the GTX 980 and 980ti/titanX in terms of performance, according to what I see in the specs.

Given that the GTX 1080 is about 20% faster than a GTX 980 Ti, and the GTX 1070 is ~85% of a 1080 on paper (for compute bound workloads), it should be about the same as a 980 Ti, if not a bit faster.

 

[Poozle]

the 1080 I have seen get up to 39% in certain games

Yes. The 1070 only requires 1 * Pin connector and way less power usage than the 970.

Erm? My 970's run @146w when folding and they are rated at 150w cards, same as the 1070 according to the article I just read.

My bad, my bad. I referenced the 980 on accident. They are both rated at 150w, but one is more capable. The 1070 would be a compatible replacement for a 970, however.

 

[ak47jar3d]

That's a great price for a card that can perform better than titan X and fury x (if nvidia's claims are true). 970 was cheaper than 380 but was not as fast as 780ti.

 

[ak47jar3d]

Really rough math. This will be about 30% slower then a 1080, jsut taking clock speed and shader cores into account. So, this should be simliar in speed to a reference clock 980ti.

Thats true with one exception: The power consumption. The 1070 can achieve what the 980ti can do with a much lower tdp (a full 100w less). The efficiency of pascal is crazy and I don't know if we will see anything from AMD till next year.

Does anyone have a number of how many maxwells were sold? I know a 960 probably sold more than a 980Ti, but don´t really know the percentages of each board on the market. And any ETA on the 1070 review?

GTX 1070 is coming a few weeks to a month after the GTX 1080.

I'm not sure about how the market did though, sorry.

It doesn't necessarily reflect the exact market, but the Steam Hardware Survey should give you a nice estimate

[SpAwNtoHell]

I cannot help saying it, when can we see a review? Judging after the 1080 review if nvidia says the truth should be up to 10% better the titan x or 980ti, but in a less power hungry envelope but with great oc potential and raw power to drive what you through at it, so since 1080 fails to deliver 60fps at 4k this be my choice for new generation atleast until amd rolls the dice or a ti pascal reveal itself.

 

[mpampis84]

I think the GTX 1070 is a bit expensive. Those who can afford decent 1440p or 4k displays can probably afford the GTX 1080. The rest will probably wait for the GTX 970/980 price to drop, or wait and see what AMD has to offer for 1080p gaming.
I'm not sure if the GTX 1070 will have the success the 970 had. Maybe if it were a bit cheaper

For $370. That's a steal! My best guess is that the GTX 1070 will be inbetween the GTX 980 and 980ti/titanX in terms of performance, according to what I see in the specs.

"At the Pascal press event on May 6, Nvidia’s Founder, Jen-Hsun Huang, declared that both the GTX 1080 and the GTX 1070 will outperform a Titan X, the company’s former “halo” card. The 1070 can manage up to 6.5 TFLOPS of floating point performance."

And no, I don't think they meant VR only.

I usually stayed in the 150-200 Eur range of GPUS for my PCs, especially when new gpus come out every 8 months.
Depending on hype vs reality, I might consider a single 1070 for my next PC, the problem is the stagnation in CPUs making it somewhat inefficient to change the entire PC.

I told myself some time ago that I will upgrade once I see DX12 make a change in gaming, once we can get to use all cores from modern CPUs, once we see some improvement in graphics.

I am still waiting.

I would call 400 mainstream, 200 is entry level, below 150 is basic.

You can call it what you wish, but around 5% of people on steam stats are using a 970 or 980, hardly mainstream by definition.

Nvidia stopped producing the 980ti, so the remaining ones will be snatched up by those wanting to sli their current one with an already owned one. As a result prices appear to have actually gone up $90 on the MSI Red 980t to $669 from a low of arround $579..

And considering that measly 5% makes it the most common card by far, that hardly suggests it's only for the elite. Going by those stats, there are 64% more 970 cards out there than the much more mainstream 960.

It might be time to upgrade my GTX 78 if my i7-4770 can keep up.

Yup.I agree with you that my understanding so far as well.So it would seem it might be a good swap upgrade for 970 users. For me I'm just wondering if that also includs my x51. I wonder if alienware is using a low power version due to the small 330w power support the x51 r3 has.

Well I guess not being able to check steam stats at work just bit me in the ass. Some guy was trying to downplay the 970/980 on another forum and I took it as him saying their 5% was a poor share.

Thats exactly why I said "I would" I never said 400 is mainstream.

According to the Steam survey, the GTX 970 is probably the best selling video card of all time.
