NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Specifications Revealed
NVIDIA's second graphics card based on its GP104 "Pascal" silicon, the more affordable GeForce GTX 1070, hits the shelves on June 10, 2016. At the May 7th event, the company was surprisingly quiet about its specifications, until now. It turns out that slower memory isn't the only thing setting the GTX 1070 apart from the GTX 1080. The company will also cut down the CUDA core count, a proportionate number of TMU count, and lower the GPU clock speeds.
NVIDIA set the MSRP for the GeForce GTX 1070 at US $379, $50 higher than the launch-price of the GTX 970, the most popular SKU based on the GM204 silicon. The company also plans to sell a premium reference-design card, dubbed the GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition, at $449, at a $70 premium. NVIDIA hopes to make the GTX 1070 the go-to card for Summer 2016 PC upgrades.
The specifications follow.

will be at. Clock speeds of GPU seems a little low, and am hoping its just because of refrence design.
Like to see some of the AIB partners go with GDDR5X, and maybe 1900mhz boost.
I'm only thinking about an upgrade right now, but I'd wait for something like 1060 [Ti] in an ITX-friendly package. My new rig doesn't like my MSI 750Ti Gaming because of those monstrous twin frozrs, and I'm not inclined to spend $350-$400 on an ITX version of GTX970.
physically the 1070 is almost exactly the same as 1080 except for... :
- slower memory (GDDR5).
- full block fo SP is disabled ( 640 CUDA cores).
- power limit ( to prevent its clocks from going as high as the GTX 1080).
In general Nvidia widened the gab between the GTX *80 and the GTX *70 .
They want to make sure that the GTX1070 will never get close from the 1080 (remember GTX970 oc and GTX980) specially when overclocked. this time they dont have to screw up the memory internally they just stayed with GDDR5.
lol I think some ppl knows what I'm talking about.
AMD|Polaris|1.3|2.0a
NVIDIA|Pascal|1.4|2.0b
The a/b of HDMI is not version numbering, but "grade." Grade "a" is more capable than grade "b."
Curious how AMD isn't supporting DP 1.4 and NVIDIA isn't supporting HDMI 2.0a. I suspect the latter is because NVIDIA doesn't support 12-bit color.
It's called business. Fury X to Fury. Titan X to 980ti. Ironically in both cases the top part was limited to a singular design but the lower part (Fury/980ti) was allowed to be tweaked by AIB's. Nvidia pitch the top part as semi professional (oh look, Radeon Duo Pro) so it doesn't matter if the 'non-professional' 980ti exceeds it's performance.
Yeah, what the hell is thread on about anyway? Oh look, 1070 isn't as good as 1080 and it's cheaper....
Umm.. what?
Also they deactivated so many units on this GPU this time, that there is room for a GTX 1070 Ti - would be the first time. What a mess.
Nvidia already stated that the 1070 would be "faster than a Titan X".
Benchies for the GTX 1080 are already out and it's about ~22% faster than the Titan X, so there you have it, the GTX 1070 should be MAX ~22% slower than the GTX 1080.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
