NVIDIA Unveils GeForce GTX 1070 with GDDR5X Memory

I had a G80 8800GTS which I promptly returned to CompUSA and picked up an 8800GT to replace it. The 8800GT, despite having 112 shaders to the GTX's 128shaders, regularly outperformed the GTX due to it's much higher clock speeds.

That was the crux of why the 8800GT was so amazing. For $300 it was performing the same as or better than the $599-$649 8800GTX.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is why they significantly upped the clock speeds on the 9800GTX(not to mention actually using faster RAM too).

It was 8800 GTS 512 which had too many rebrands (9800 GTX, 9800 GTX+, GTS 150 OEM, GTS 250 - and you couldn't tell if they had the original 65nm or die-shrink 55nm chip)

The + in the 9800GTX+ was there specifically to designate the G92b 55nm version. The GTS150 was always G92 and the GTS250 was always G92b. So, yes, you could always tell if they had the 65nm or 55nm chip.

So I wonder if new gtx 1070 will outperform old gtx 1070-ti.

No, it is going to perform exactly the same as the old version of the GTX1070.

what'd you know... unused Pascal cores & GDDR5X are still making the rounds... still not gonna buy a soon-to-be-outdated GPU.
