Nvidia GTX 1070: The Full Specifications

[RedJaron]

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.

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.

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.

We've all done that once or twice.

At 4.9%, it's the most common card right now by far ( granted, that's only Steam users who agreed to let their specs be involved in the survey ). The next most common GPU ( not counting Intel HD graphics since I don't know if those are counted in addition to the dGPU ) is the 960 at 3.14%, then the 750 Ti at 2.71%.

I hope this card can help me cut down on rendering times when I'm video editing.

What application are you using? Have you analysed your system to check where the bottleneck lies during a render? Is it maxing out the GPU? What is the CPU doing? The RAM? Storage I/O? Complex apps like AE can hammer the whole system, others are more focused in how they exploit resources.

Are you interested in the best performance on a budget? Older cards may be more powerful depending on the app (even today the GTX 580 is quite good for CUDA on a budget, two of them are faster than a 980 for the Blender BMW test). The 780 Ti is still one of the best for AE, or obviously a Titan if the price isn't crazy.

If you care about power consumption, heat, noise, etc., though, then newer cards may be more attractive, assuming the app supports them.

$379 is a bargain. I paid $300 for an NVidia Riva 128 in 1997.

What times, brings up a nostalgic feeling...to me ...the dinosour))

 

[SpAwNtoHell]

While aware of steam statistics, and tho i found them relative, as some people wont upgrade a monitor till its end of life and remain in 60hz fhd others stay in 144hz and to run everything maxed out at fhd 144fps at least many will agree that you need a gpu able to pull at least 50fps in 4k. The problem here is that some like me once adicted to 144hz will not give it up and except old title at the moment even with the gtx 1080 out( reference"") is hard to acchieve 144fps average or just above in fhd and qhd with a single card... A example is witcher 3 and wait. Blood and wine dlc is just around the corner and to be fair i am surprised if new pascal will be able to achieve 90fps as comes with improved eye candy... Is barely achieving 97 in wild hunt now... At fhd... Somehow desktop gaming video cards on a single solution are left a bit behind but hell i hope new sli type improves things a bit but is a bitter taste as tho i have the setup you have to beg games to suport it...

DP 1.4 ???
From the GeForce site:

"1 - 7680x4320 at 60 Hz RGB 8-bit with dual DisplayPort connectors or 7680x4320 at 60 Hz YUV420 8-bit with one DisplayPort 1.3 connector.
2 - DisplayPort 1.2 Certified, DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 Ready."

The devil is in the footnotes !
What actually does DP 1.3/1.4 mean ?? Is a driver/firmware update needed to get there ? Or is the 1080 GTX only certified to DP 1.2 but will do 1.4 ? And frankly if it does 1.4 , why mention 1.3 ??

There seems to be a lot of shading of the meaning of these Display Port specs, I even see some sites saying 1.3 or 1.4 'capable" Let's face reality , you either MEET a spec or you don't. !!

I'd sure like ALL GPU vendors to play this straight and fair, but HEY---marketing is a variable skill.

 

[Prolox_567]

I'm going to get one of these for game development. Such amazing value!

 

[Prolox_567]

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.

Something I can agree with!

Like I said before: "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."

I know this is in terms of VR. Even without VR it's still possible that the 1070 is going to be more powerfull...

 

[logainofhades]

I have my sights set on a GTX 1070. Better performance, and far better power consumption, than my 780ti. My particular model uses more juice than even a 290x.

 

[RaduTudorTennis]

Just i saw yesterday 22 of May the price for GTX 1080 Founders Edition on EVGA site in Europe 789 euro=884 dollars so don't expect the prices nvidia announced even for GTX 1070!!!

 

[logainofhades]

Europe will always be higher, than US, also until stock is sufficient, the price will probably be inflated a bit. That is typical, at any launch.

 

[Incoherent Ian]

$379 is a bargain. I paid $300 for an NVidia Riva 128 in 1997.

Adding to that: $300 in '97 equates to ~450 Obamadollars.

Depressing in other ways, but encouraging for video card acquisition!

 

[tazmo8448]

Looks like Nvidia is coming around to the 'dollar equals performance' mantra...never could figure out why the were so proud of their stuff money wise....listening Intel?

 

[logainofhades]

Nvidia, I agree, likes to overprice their cards. The GTX 980 has been poorly priced, for its performance, since day 1. Intel is priced appropriately, compared to its competition, that is using a 4yr old architecture. Hopefully Zen will provide some real competition.

 

[17seconds]

Nvidia doesn't set the price of their cards, the market does. When you're handing your main competitor his tail in a sling, your cards cost more. Why? Because the competitor needs to lower their prices to compete. You, the consumer, decides the prices you're willing to pay for these things.

 

[Quixit]

That's rough, man. In 1999 I paid about $300 for a Riva TNT 2 and it really made that 128 look old. That was a card that aged very poorly. The TNT cards were just so much better.

 

[David_326]

Based on everything I read the GTX 1070 is going to push up against the Titan X. Which is saying a lot. So if you want to run every Game in 1080P at Ultra Setting this card will do it while it never drops below 60 FPS.

You should wait for actual game benchmarks before riding this train. A manufacturer can select specific tests optimized for a specific area of the 1070 to make it look like its better than the Titan X. It wouldn't necessarily be something related to gaming

 

[JMM58]

We'll see what the benchmarks say. If the 1070 doesn't provide "maxed out" performance at 1440p, I don't see the reason to upgrade from the 970. The 970/390 are the 1080p golden boys right now, and if the 1070 doesn't bump it up to 1440p, I don't think it's a worthwhile investment (for those upgrading, that is).

Why wouldn't the 1070 bump it up to 1440p if the performance is comparable to the 980ti?

 

[Mathias_6]

Nice price, but I bet they won't change the numbers in Europe, making it more expensive for us.

 

[Gurg]

WOW!

My quote is not clear cos i made some fault while qouting but it is aimed to thburninator.
Think his comment is more or less incomprehensible when looking at the showed specs

 

[Specter0420]

Would my old i7 920 OCed to 4 Ghz be strong enough to see a benefit if I switched from the 660 to a 1070?

 

[TechyInAZ]

Would my old i7 920 OCed to 4 Ghz be strong enough to see a benefit if I switched from the 660 to a 1070?

Yes it will. Worse case senario the 920 at 4ghz bottlenecks the 1070.

 

[phil7990]

So tomorrow will be d-day for the 1080. I'm not so excited as I am about the 1070 but I'll follow it up anyway...
