The Pascal GTX 1070 Owners Thread

[Bigminimus]

Those benchmarks look promising. It's close to base 1080 performance when OC'd too.

 

[[HB]Rugrat]

Oh dear MSI, enough with the Black and Red please. We moved past that.

LOL speak for yourself, I've got a colour scheme to maintain!

 

[jwsg]

Those custom 1070s look nice but if they come in at £400 - well there could be basic open cooler 1080s at around £550 - and the gap between 1080 and my 970 is a lot wider than changing to a 1070 - and also will new purchases will see the benefit over a £200 480?

 

[JoeF1]

I think my mind is made up for the 1070. My build is awaiting a GPU and was just about to get the 980. So im waiting for this release. Still at the end of this month?

 

[Cooper]

I remember the 970 thread..

Then the split memory configuration scandal emerged and it became a thread of ridicule..

Not really that interested in GPU wars, but here is some nice info for you

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Founders Edition


SKU: ZT-P10700A-10P
Mfr#: ZT-P10700A-10P
£304.89 + VAT

That is hopefully more than any one knew so far, about the price on FE 1070.

 

[bakes0310]

That's a very good price hopefully the evga 1070 SC is similar.

 

[Vish Petrol]

I hope that the board partner cards are slightly cheaper to be honest. A 980ti will look very good under £300

 

[.Trooper.]

That's about £365 for the reference then. I'm presuming the additional £25-30 will be tacked on by retailers? Since we've already heard it's meant to be £400

Yeah, that's low volume channel pricing, so expect web retailers to be £399+

 

[mrklaw]

£365 probably means £379 retail? Well not accounting for **** taking with limited stock markups.

Pretty good considering the basic coolers should be less than that - probably £349 or lower. Should be able to get a decent EVGA SC/FTW level custom card at <£400

Some of the less expensive custom 1080s like the inno3d at £550 are tempting too though, and they'll probably settle into £525 after demand calms down..

 

[Kaapstad]

 

[bakes0310]

If i do fall into temptation then ill buy two, but not until Septembers payday so hopefully it should settle by then.

 

[Omaeka]

Anyone know the estimated price for the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming?

 

[LoadsaMoney]

The RX 480 is the 480x isn't it?

I don't think theres going to be a 480X.

 

[MeatLoaf]

Without trawling through the whole thread when will the 1070 be available to buy and will it be worth changing from my 390?

10th June, and yes.

Since you have a freesync monitor it may be worth waiting until the end of the year for 'Vega, but if your 390 isn't enough then the 1070 would be a good upgrade, but you wont be able to use Freesync

 

[chris-82]

Really liking the look of the inno3d x3 ichill , for me it's the nicest looking design.
What is inno3d like regarding reliability and warranty?

Or would I be better going with evga SC (only has a 8 pin power connector) or MSI gaming (8+6 pin power)?

What models are people thinking of getting on release?

Good point about the monitor I hadn't thought of that
