GTX 1070 performance

As much fun it can be at times, this argument is just a fools game.

In the end it's all relative!


Let's have some fun with some examples shall we:

* Got lots of disposable income, no problems spending it.
* Gets brainwashed with hype/marketing and willing sell a kidney to be cool.
* Ranging nvidia fanboy/shill.
* Owns nvidia shares.

These above will see it one way. The ones below will see it another.

* Got lots of disposable income, but has principles (won't overpay).
* Jedi mind trick (marketing/hype) does not work on this person.
* To poor can't afford it, lashes out in jealousy.
* Ranging amd fanboy/shill.
* Owns amd shares.



There are probably a lot more, but you get the idea. Everyone feels like they are correct, from their point of view/pushing their agenda which suits them best.

It is not too hard to see who here fits where on that chart :p

Now let's get back on topic ;)

I really enjoyed this post- Pretty much Nailed it
 
As a R9 290 owner, the benchmarks have me convinced.

Will move to a 1070 once the third party models start to come out. Also make the move to a 144hz monitor.

Enjoyable summer ahoy!

Although the pricing is steep. I'm in Ireland so while your talking 350-400 pound, that is about €500 on my end. Pretty steep indeed.

Max oc to max oc the difference is only ~5%. Now let's see what those custom cards can do ;)

From the benchmarks I've seen 980ti OC vs 1080 OC is around 25% in the 1080s favour. A pretty good performance boost considering the 1080 replaces the 980.
So I'm hoping the 1080ti whenever it comes will be a 40-50% performance increase over the 980ti :)

It seems Pascal overall will be 40-50% faster than Maxwell was.
 
Disappointing for those who were looking to a 1070 if this is there differentiating move

"However I recommend waiting for custom cards based on GP104-200 silicon, as Founders Edition is currently locked at 112% TDP for no particular reason. That said overclocking is limited to 1980-2050 MHz. If such power limit is applied to all GTX 1070 cards, then I think this is a very dirty and unnecessary move from NVIDIA to limit GTX 1070 performance."

only good for 1070 pricing...

Yep, it will be interesting to see the 1070 pricing now. With the cheapest GTX 1080 being £525 (~$640 excluding VAT) it's surprisingly closer to the $600 Nvidia quoted than I expected, especially since that's day-one price and probably has a little bit extra markup. Looks like the people going on about us not seeing cards cheaper than the FE edition were wrong :p.

There was some article on videocardz linking to a Chinese website that stated the 1070 NDA lifts on the 29th and it had the non-FE price at £300 (converted from Yeun) so with VAT and ****-you-for-living-in-the-uk tax I reckon we should see cards around £400
 
I would be sceptical that the 1070 will be sub £400, the dream would be like 350 a pop get two of them for £700 sli setup that should be much faster then single 1080... but dreams are nice reality is probably much different.
 
Based on the non-FE 1080 pre-order prices I'd be pretty surprised/disappointed if the 1070 isn't sub £400. If the 1070 follows the UK 1080 prices we're seeing surely it should be at most £360 for some of the cheaper 3rd party ones?
