That's not going to happen until 1080Ti.
It's why I'm going to stick with my 970's for now.

With only a paltry few % over a Ti you won't be able to drive 4K120 yet anyway.
And good luck with SLI, LOL.
Also, nobody seems to be factoring in shortages and gouging to the pricing. They may only have 1000 units for launch and you might have to wait 3 months for more stock.

they could do 4k 120hz right now the panels are about to do it
hdr im not so sure about, that topic confuses the hell out of me, on tv's dolby looks the best, not seen a single hdr monitor be announced
lmao.. that would mean 1 gtx 980 matches a titan x.. @ 50%
heck that would actually mean 1 gtx 980 is faster than a titan x because sli doesnt scale 100% lol

math wasn't your strong point was it
I don't think anyone really knows. The way it is officially worded could be interpreted in two ways.
Although Nvidia better have a gap as no one is going to buy a reference one for $100 more than an AIB cooled one.

Already 2 gone up today with prices that will never sell
I love MM but it is a savage place at times like this, I decided to stick mine on the bay instead for a change, I bet you people here will be putting in offers as low as £180
Zotac's founder's card product page is up:
https://www.zotac.com/product/graphics_card/geforce-gtx-1080
Nothing new there though, just some high res board porn.

So who are these new cards aimed at?
If you want 1080p/1440p performance then a 980Ti comfortably nets you 60fps+ at either resolution. If Nvidia started dropping 980Ti prices for the slightly more powerful 1080, wouldn't common sense be to get the Ti instead? Nvidia aren't stupid, they lower the prices and the 1080 loses out in sales.
A 980Ti starts to show its limitations when gaming at 4K/60fps with all the bells and whistles in the more demanding titles. A Titan X has those same limitations, so that instantly makes a GTX 1070 nothing more than a more power efficient card to compete at 1080p/1440p. Not exactly 'next gen'.
I think anyone who's using a 970 or below at the moment would probably find the 1070 a good upgrade path if they want to game flawlessly at 1440p/60fps for the next couple years.
Anyone on a 980 or above should wait for the 1080Ti if they want to go 4K, the Ti version should be the real killer at 4K res and it also allows the 4K monitor market to catch up with the newer ports.

ITX user here also.
I see no reason why the GTX1070 couldn't be put into a smaller card like the DirectCU Mini was, but it'll depend on the AIB partners and I certainly wouldn't expect it at launch, it'll come a bit later.
