I think as I need a card very soon I will go for a 1070.. With the option to sli in a few months..
Spending 600 quid and seeing those benchies make my blood boil tbh.
Many similar benches I've seen are just under 20k. So really don't know.
What do you expect from a 1070 with a chunk less cores. Gonna be on par at most with a Ti bud.

We already know from an accidentally early benchmark release that the 1070 is a little faster than the 980Ti and on par/a bit slower than the TX, depending on the game.
Why that is bad I have no idea. Everyone seems to be comparing a x70 series card with the x90Ti series as if Pascal is some sort of magic that means it should outperform every Maxwell card regardless of its position in the lineup.

You do realise you are supposed to compare the graphics score (not the overall score) don't you. If you use the overall score you turn it into a CPU bench.
The only people with higher graphics scores are using custom bios, waterblocks and extra volts to get very big overclocks on their TitanXs.
You really need to stop now as you have made yourself look very silly with the post I have just quoted. Remember the 1080 was a Founders Edition in a case on air with a stock bios.
You just going to pepper the forums with the same?
Defend it all you like. I'm allowed an opinion. The GFX score has been noted. Doesn't change the fact that a 980ti is very close in the benchmark with the same cpu.

In like for like situations the 1080 is beating the 980 Ti quite easy.
I'm not arguing the fact that the 1080 is faster than the 980ti..
It damn well should be!
Its just not worth it. On any level. Its a joke price and quite frankly insulting
Having just spent north of £600 I would be so deflated by it.

Mid-to-low-£300's then for 1070 customs it seems... same pattern as seen with the 1080. Inevitably going to be some up there mixing with the FE price though (circa £400 I reckon), again just as with the 1080.
Big question for me is if the 1070 is going to be a worthy purchase for 21:9 1440. I eagerly await reviews...

Surely that is just a matter of what you are upgrading from?
If you're going from a 980Ti to a 1080 I would probably call you out for being silly (it's your money spend it on what you like however). If you're coming from 7950 for instance (me), you would be looking at nearly 3x the performance. The question therefore is is 3x the performance worth £550-£600?

Think I'm going to cancel my pre order on the evga 3.0 ftw edition and just get a custom 1070 card. Just bought an acer predator x34 (3440x1440) so won't need the power for 4K resolutions. May as well save myself £300!

Everyone is allowed an opinion, we dont see everyone elses opinion on any one of 6 threads about 6 times every page though. Youve said your piece, everyone has read it numerous times over, maybe time to step awat from the keyboard and get some sunshine rather than drive yourself in to a depression over some GPU scores?

Glad you brought up the price as the bench you have been quoting shows a FE 1080 in a case on air using a standard bios matching TitanXs on waterblocks and custom bios using extra volts.
Question - How much is a TitanX plus waterblocks again ?
Answer - About twice the price of a FE 1080
No contest is it, the same performance for half the price.
I have same monitor, and I'm really curious to see how the 1070 performs at that res. If it's on par with a 980Ti (as it certainly seems to be) then it should be more than adequate. No doubt the 1080 will perform better, but for £300 more it really seems excessive to me! The performance/value ratio is rather out of whack there, but obviously if you want the best you must pay for it!

Availability is probably the only reason - the Ti hasn't even been confirmed, so that to me would suggest it is at least 6-12 months away. The 1070 will be available in a few days (stock levels permitting), so 1 could purchase 1080Ti levels of performance* in next few days and get a good amount of use before making decision to move on once Ti releases.
*where and when SLI scaling works.
** assuming performance jump from x70 to x80Ti is the same as previous gen.

Yes, but even Ti's getting ~1450mhz which most can hit or get extremely close to are only ~100 or so points behind. That is what somewhere in region of 5%?
It is a very large price, for what is not all that large a gain in performance (in that bench).

I am quite tempted with 1070 SLI if I can get it for £650-£700, thinking about it. Ideally would like reference to get heat out case, but not paying the "Founders" premium for cards that are going to throttle and thus perform worse than cheaper cards.
