GTX 1070 - any takers?

Gonna try and sell my 970 for about £180, then say put another £150ish hopefully on top to get a 1070.

Need the extra housepower for VR (not even talking about the specific Nvidia optimisations for VR, which I am also excited for, but I just need more power to run my Vive games at max settings).

Plus it would be nice to ge closer to 144fps for more games.

He posts the same thing nearly all the time, like he's trying to shove in peoples faces who bought a 980Ti to make them feel as if it's worthless when it's not.

Lol. Im just a realist. How are they going to get rid of 980ti stock if they font sell them for near £300?

780ti's could be had for £300 shortly after the 900 series released.

EVERY new realease in the past makes the old generations get sold off cheap as chips. Why will this year be any different?

Oh and by the way it has nothing to do with making people feel bad and everything to do with telling it like it is to stop people buying a 980ti right now.

That obviously won't happen, otherwise you'd be able to get a 970 for around £100-150 and that would only rob the new cards of sales. There are solid economic reasons why this can and never will happen.

Lol?

This place is hilarious.

670's were never sold off for ~£165 when the 700 series came out were they.....oh wait yes they were, because i bought two.

Yea I was just looking at that. Doesn't paint a great story.

However if you look around at other reviews you will find they are not consistent in what they say.

Still the point I'm making is that the 1000 series are new generation cards. I'm telling you they will pull clear in DX12 titles. Especially if Nvidia have solved this Async Compute limitation the 900 series have.

If I had spent £800 on a Titan X I wouldn't be feeling too happy right now :(

Why? If you'd bought it on release then you'd have had all this time with the performance of the single fastest card on the market.

Resale on Titans is always reasonable just because of the name, if you'd spent £800 on a Titan X in march last year, had 15 months of top GPU performance you now have a few options that don't look very bad at all IMHO:

1) Pick up another used Titan X for SLI, probably about £450-500 which would bury a single 1080.

2) If you're insane or simply must have the latest shiny, sell your Titan X for £450-500, put £100 to it and get one of the better 1080s.

3) Which is surely the sane option, hang on to it if it is still playing your games at your res, wait for the next Titan and get a proper upgrade worth paying for, Titan X resale will still be reasonable even then (£350-400 maybe?) so should soften the blow somewhat.

I don't understand why people all of a sudden think Titan X and 980Tis are obsolete!

Don't be silly, it will perform better in DX12 (driver optimisation will now be ongoing) but that aside you'd buy the 1070 for the NEW technology and other good features that come with Pascal and the fact that Nvidia will give the Pascal all the optmisations from now on and it's more future proof - if you decide to try VR in x months you'll have a card much more capable at it for example. Better efficiency, better multi-monitor gaming support, etc etc, oh and no 16nm! :D

If the Ti was cheaper by A LOT you'd buy it, but not if we're talking £20-100 IMO. I don't care what a few online reviews/benchmarks show of just a game or two, the 1070 is the card to have going forward.

I personally wouldn't by a new Ti now at any reasonable price, unless it was stupidly low - I don't want old tech.

I'll be swapping out my 970 for a 1070. I'm in the process of upgrading my rig and shall soon be going for a 1440p monitor, so I'll want the extra grunt for that resolution and from the reviews it seems like the 1070 is the perfect card. Hopefully they'll come in somewhere around £350 for the custom AIB cards, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are closer to £400.
