NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Clock Speeds Revealed

NVIDIA posted the product page of its upcoming GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card, confirming its clock-speeds, and related specifications. The card features a nominal GPU clock speed of 1506 MHz, with a maximum GPU Boost frequency of 1683 MHz. The memory is clocked at 2000 MHz (actual), or 8 GHz (GDDR5-effective), working out to a memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s. The company also rates the card's single-precision floating point performance at 6.45 TFLOP/s. Other key specs include 1,920 CUDA cores, 120 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The GeForce GTX 1070 goes on sale, on the 10th of June, 2016.

.....havent seen a 1080 sli review yet sure some tech tubers will get together lend/borrow and share soon....1070 will be next month....oh the infernal waiting game. 1080ti gonna be awesome when ever it comes. Titian...P gonna be sorta awesome but too expensive. 1070sli should be a power house and its looking real good to me. then there is Amd crop of gpus coming and the x99 refresh..... dudes....its like Christmas is starting in may this year....

....everyone should be happy about the new toys...in a moment it will be AMD's turn

Practically negligible if you think about it. /s

UbersonicIf Polaris was going to be a shocker, Vega wouldn't have been moved from "early next year" to "October this year". Unless AMD are doing it to try to mind **** Nvidia into believing that or something, which would be stupidity bordering on corporate negligence.
Well I don't think AMD expected NV to come out with the "Big guns" first. AMD had always planned on the "little guns" But now that the 1080 is out in the wild AMD don't have much choice but to pull out their "big gun" earlier than they wanted too. Polaris was never meant to compete with that tier.

Surely not bad, 75% is a nice boost.
The only problem is, it's quite a bit misleading as cards chosen for comparison are different tier (pricing wise at least).
Compare it to 950 and you'll get even nicer "boost"... :D

Do they?
I mean, what would compete with 200-300$ Polaris cards from AMD, 449$ 1070?
Well, maybe, if you drop price of it to, say, 350$.

970 = 21.7fps / 191W = 0.11361256544502617801047120418848
1070 = ~35.26fps / ~147.2W = ~0.23953804347826086956521739130435 <= my educated guesses, take with grain of salt.

To me it looks more like +110%, not 75%. Time will tell if my predictions are also correct or not.
compared to 980 yes 75% ... approx/averages to 2x. :)

ViperXTRSo when is the 1070 gonna get reviewed? Same day as release or a week earlier like 1080?
I have the same question, I just hope it will be some time before they actually launch.

I will buy it anyway, since I already know it will be better than the GTX970 :D

Closer to 75%, remember they said power efficiency so only the Watts are calculated.

Well, my guess is that the 1070 will be 5-8% faster than the TITAN X or 980Ti.

Well, Pascal has already been previewed, so early 1070 benchmarks make little sense. I expect 1070 reviews on launch date this time.

It doesn't work that way... I don't think it ever has. Sites are not allowed to release results before the NDA is up. You will see it on 6/10 I would assume (its release date) just like every other new GPU over the past several generations.

GoldenXThere are news with both 6.75, and 5.78, and now 6,45... Looks like Nvidia isn't sure where to position the card.
The original presentation said 6.5 TFlop/s (boost), which is still correct. 5.78 TFlop/s is without boost, which is the normal measurement.

deemonwhat about this picture?
What about it? It's the picture of an imaginary GPU that has less ROPs and memory bandwidth than GTX 1070.

Dj-ElectriCThey cores are cut physically. This is as "different BIOS" as GTX 970 to a GTX 980 or an R9 390X to a R9 380
The 380 is a 7970 the 390x is a completely different GPU and there are chances just like the 290 vs 290x the 390/390x will unlock to the higher bin.

280x = 7970.

The 380 = R9 285 or Tonga Core.

Τhese are some benches from techpowerup reviews form gtx 980ti (2 versions from gigabyte) and gtx 1080, to three of the most gpu demanding titles











These versions of oced GTX 980tis are of course factory oced BUT htey can oced much higher than that, my point is the differences between gtx 1080 are 5-7 fps and the happily reviewers (sellers) around the web showing sth like 30% like anyone who has a titan x or 980ti bought reference design and not even clocked at all (maybe 1% of the owners of GM 200 gpus), AND if 980ti is so close to 1080 HOW on earth GTX 1070 will be anyware close to titan, 980ti, taking the factor that gp 104-400 is a cut down version of 104-200 with very few shaders, this card simply have not the resourses to compete the cards above and its only hope is crazy gpu clock speeds BUT this is not enough for this card

This thread is about the GTX1070:)

Again with the lack of reading comprehension. :shadedshu:

So let me clarify. When compared to another single GPU the GTX 1080 , even with NO OC, spanks their ass every time. The NON OC GTX 1070 probably will too(if not then close to it). You'll see. Then we'll OC them both and the previous gen. cards will get spanked even worse. Comparing an OCed card to a non OCed card is hardly a fair comparison.

Comparing 4K FPS results is meaningless to the vast majority of us too. Who cares? You even threw in some NoAA results to muck things up even worse.

Nice job! :rolleyes:

AMD just made bold statements about Zen, namely, it will compete with Intel "not only on price" but also on "performance, power". They plan to get into "elitbooks" and "XPS" and something from (fucking) Lenovo too.

Those are direct comments by John Taylor (corporate VP AMD), not wccft speculations. (but sure, either way should be taken with a grain of salt :D)

To get result of some value, you should not be cherry picking games (there are counterexamples with 0% improvements too, e.g. project cars), but rather overalls.
MrGeniusWhen compared to another single GPU the GTX 1080 , even with NO OC, spanks their ass every time.
Let me spoil it for ya:
1) 980Ti's easily hit 1400-1500 Mhz. That's 50% OC.
2) OCed 980Ti is rather close to 1080, for (thank you, nZilla, do moar, please, these dudes with G-Sync monitor deserve even moar).
3) 980Ti are dumped en mass, cards can be had for about 400$. Where do you get with 699$/789Euro (fuck you, nZilla) 1080 vs that?
4) Most reviewers were able to OC 1080 for only 12% of stock, so it ain't that good.
5) +8-15 fps at 4k is hardly "spanking", no matter how you spin it.

How quickly we forget that one can overclock the 1080 as well...We are seeing reference cards hit 2100Mhz and generally being temperature limited. I am sure with aftermarket card/cooling we will see well over that amount. We have seen 2.5GHz before with ambient cooling. With that in mind, if true, that is also a (more than) a 50% overclock.

So much vitriol in your posts... I wonder how you are still a member here with your incessant baiting due to didactic style of trying to explain things.. SMFH... another person to ignore on TPU...

We have all certainly established medi01 is not a fan of those meanies nVidia.

He does need to tone it down though, it's getting old now.
