GTX 1070 Reviews

On that OC headroom:

http://www.hardwareunboxed.com/geforce-gtx-1070-overclocking/

I was 100% correct Nvidia and the AIB's do it for us, almost all the way. Next up: finding the ceiling to which these cards clock, and my money is on 2.1Ghz regardless of voltage.

That's pretty badass. My aim is at 1070 or 1060(whichever sub-240mm version arrives first).
Going from GTX750Ti to 1070 will be a huge leap for me (almost x3 GPU performance boost!!!). Just need to figure out the way to smuggle it to my country.

1080 is not available yet, but it is listed at $1000, so I can only assume that GTX1070FE will be no less than $700 here.

bit of a difficult one to read, that. What does it actually say now?

Well, we know the 980ti isn't running circles around it, ehh @Vayra86?

Agreed, I admit the stock perf is really above what I expected.

Hardwarecanucks also preheated their cards though not as long as hardware unboxed and recently updated their review with a overclocking test for a prolonged time

i think when this 1070 finally arrives we are going to see 980 TI performance for something close to what was 980 prices and a with lot less power draw plus the 8 gigs of ram..

i am pretty impressed with the new generation of cards but the ones i have cost too f-cking much to replace just yet.. maybe next year..

Your best path would be 1080ti anyway. I would *never* move from a 100 to a 104 SKU. Waste of time! Fat chance a single 1080ti will be close the pair of 980ti's you got now.

Must be hard to swallow for people who bought a Titan X recently

I don't see why not.
A single 1080 is the equivalent of 980 in SLI.

yes the snag with new better bang for buck hardware.. nice for those thinking about an upgrade but not so nice for those who have already done one.. he he

all my (bought less than year ago) not exactly cheap hardware is now obsolete.. he he..

i know i dont need it but just cos its there part of me f-cking wants it..

i would need a pair of 1080 cards to see more performance that would be roughly £1200 quid UK prices.. the sane part of me stays no f-cking way but i aint entirely sane.. he he

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.

Surely no 980Ti owner will consider anything less than a 1080 as an upgrade?

am i the only one who gives a rats ass about what my card consumes in power ?

No, I want a new card that uses no more than 150W without sacrificing game play.

I also care, I only have a 620W PSU and also summer is coming and the window is broken shut I need the efficiency and AIB coolers.. My 670 has served me well but it's time to move forward.

 

[xorbe]

I want to lower the wattage of my cards, because I can't re-use 250w god-tier cards in my other lesser machines. I may side-step to 1070 (150w) later this year. Seems like you can only lower the power target so far with MSI AB (80%?), before the card starts stuttering to meet the power target (60-75%).

Doubt it could come close though

 

[GreiverBlade]

a whole batch of "meh..." from me

on the fun side ... i rather buy a Nano than a 1070 ... for 12% slower ... the price should be more interesting... thanks "mr. omigodit'sfaster" price riser.

waiting on TPU review : the "only one" review... for me

Or... maybe if you bought just one, like you actually use (since you perf cap it intentionally) maybe it would be an easier choice.

scratch my last statement :0

Looking at the Tesla p100 specs :

740 GB/s Bandwidth
3584 fp32
1792 fp 64


if you go just for single precision you get a total of 5376 fp32 cuda cores

double the amount the gtx 1080 has

The only problem is the rop and texture count unless sm's are treated different from server counterparts? :/
(each sm has 4 texture units and ofc the cuda cores)

VRAM and bandwidth just needs to be doubled, won't be a problem since p100 has 740 GB/s bandwidth and 16 GB vram

Edit : Its seems the gp104 sm has 128 cuda cores and 8 texture units

Just double the sm's and 5120 cuda cores and 320 texture units =D (2 problems solved)

Come live in Portugal and say that ...

I will always have a soft spot for such stupid cards as the 295x2. If Pascal can do that with 150W, imagine what they could do if they designed a chip around 300W.

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.

Its more than likely just something that can be fixed through drivers.

The upgrade bug in me is incredibly strong lately.

i use two but with a frame rate cap of around 75 frames per second.. i genuinely cant tell the difference using g-sync between 75 fps and 150 fps..

just for a laugh i have re-discovered the joys of playing serious sam 2.. its f-cking hilarious and my cards bang it out at around 550 frames per second..

now in your piss taking way do you think i should run this particular game at 550 frames per second or at 75..

you take the piss as regards my capping excessive power use with a frame cap but to be honest anybody that dosnt is acting pretty dumb..

i buy this sh-t cos its there not because i need it.. not running it balls out all the time is my minor concession to sensibility.. he he

i run my 165 hrz monitor at 120 hrz and cap my games to around 75 fps.. i kind like having more power than i need.. it gives me a nice cosy feeling..
