HardwareUnboxed has a warmup period, so it gives a better indication benchmarks as clocks stabilize.

Overall solid card, providing 980 Ti stock performance at DX11 games and sorta close to Fury X in DX12 titles (except ROTR).

Yeah it was pretty obvious it would be seriously gimped compared to the 1080, Nvidia did not lie about its speed though.

 

[ViperXTR]

Yeah, the one made by Hardware Unboxed is interesting as its more of a better scenario when actual gaming over time. Bring in the AIB cards and lets hope it holds up better than this Fermi Edition card

4k results comparing the GTX 1070 vs 980 Ti, Fury X, Fury and Nano.

Numbers from here:
http://www.hardwareunboxed.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-review-22-games-tested-at-1080p-1440p/

Did it mostly to check how my Nano fared against the GTX 1070, decided to include other benches as well.

The Nano reaches air Fury performance with +50% power limit increased, so moving to the GTX 1070 would be a side-grade for Nano owners (few as there may be here )

Disappointing to see some review sites using the "faster than titan x" marketing platitude. The second Hardware unboxed shows 980ti OC beating the 1070 OC every time, which is what really matters. We'll see when it's AIB vs AIB, but some of these early reviews are overstating things. From Babeltech, "We would like to award the Founder’s Edition of the GTX 1070 the BabelTechReviews Highly Recommended Award. And we mean *Highly* recommended!"

Isn't 4k resolution a tad misleading, guys?
Isn't it mostly 1440p card?

PS
Just for lols:

The comments are even more hilarious and EVGA customer care copy pasta responses

 

[HaKN !]

I really dont belive in those paid benchmarks when Hardware Unboxed has a very realiable benchmarks.

Cannot wait when TPU comes out with a solid benchmarks

Guys,

wasn't AMD NDA on... whatever to be lifted on 29th May, 9 EST? (which is already in the past, I assume)

UPDATE:
Never mind, it's actually 30th at 10pm, so 1th of June in EU.

Those that arrived at the Polaris tech day in Macau had to sign NDA dated June 29th. Is that what you're thinking of?

Probably. For some reason I remembered that 29th too.
So as there are no new news articles about AMD, there were no leaks, eh? =/

I wonder if Nvidia have the time to fix Founder Edition fan issues on 1080 for this 1070. (https://www.techpowerup.com/222895/...edition-owners-complain-of-fan-revving-issues). Probably too late 'cause it seems they already been shipped out.

Pretty sure they will just release a fix for it.

 

[MustSeeMelons]

Seems it's going to everything I wanted to be, the only concerns for my upgrade itch is the pricing and what will Polaris look like. God, I love this time of year.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Looks a winner, GTX 980 Ti performance for less money, less power consumption and 8GB VRAM to boot.

Nothing better than throwing a statistical based analysis at the illogical ramblings of idiots.

Well Im mostly addressing existing 980ti and Fury owners, who would be thinking of upgrading to the GTX 1070.

For the ones who plan to jump from any other hardware, its a no brainer that the 1070 is the best price/perf card out there. Unless Polaris has anything to offer.

Not a great representation because of the higher founders price and they are using MSRPs of the other cards, which is a bit higher than what those cards are selling for now. The Pascal cards could be even more impressive with this factored in but as it stands it's not a very accurate representation of perf/$.

These results are probably more relevant to the 1070 anyway:

 

[pedromvu]

So it is pretty much what was predicted and a lot of people didn't wanted to believe, the GTX 1070 has about same performance as a stock GTX 980 Ti (and by about I mean +-5% since that difference won't matter much once translated to fps in games).

The difference is this time there is a bigger gap between X70 and X80 (20-25% instead of 10-15%)

What I don't like is the pricing Nvidia came out with, I bet that with the BS founders edition nonsense, Manufacturers will be pricing their custom cards much more closely to the FE prices than the lower announced prices, specially since there will probably won't be enough cards to satisfy demand and prices will only get higher.

This is why we need AMD's competition, these cards should have been priced same as last gen, $350 and $550 instead Nvidia knows there will be no competition from Polaris since those are not going to be high end, so I guess we will have to wait until Vega to see if the price wars start.

I did notice the first graph is yet another benchmark showing the 1070 is indeed NOT faster than the Titan X.

 

[Ebo]

Im not impressed at all, bring HBM2 nothing else.

Yeah I must say I am pleasantly surprised. At the same time, I think the OC headroom on the 980ti will still push it beyond an OC 1070 by account of the higher amount of shaders, ROPs and larger bus width.

But this will push 980ti second-hand pricing down significantly in any case, and compared to the GTX 970 it is a pretty serious leap forward. I'll buy in if they put it at an equal price point as the 970, if it's higher, 980ti all the way - and currently it is looking to be a little higher.

 

[qubit]

Pascal is clearly fantastic and the sort of improvement we've been waiting for.

I'm still waiting for the Big Pascal 1080 Ti which will make both these cards look positively pedestrian. By the looks of it, just one of those will be able to do 4K at high framerates without even blinking.

The price is gonna be the big stumbling block.
