Can't wait for it to cost almost twice MSRP

Are digital miners still screwing everyone up?

There's room between a 1070 and 1080 for this?

that's weird, i would have said no.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I wouldn't have thought so, but who knows
If it comes with GDDR5X, it might be slightly less than double and actually buyable sometimes

Nvidia's market segmentation is getting crazy, but I can see why they would do this. They simply have the better architecture and really have no reason to let AMD command any kind of lead with Vega.

They said there's a 20% gap between the 1070 and 1080....
But I don't know why anyone would want a card that's 10% -15% than a 1070... This is gonna depend on price
Seems like a strange thing to do unless they are effectively EOLing both the 1070 and 1080.
A 1070ti with even a slight factory OC would basically just be a 1080.
I could actually see them doing that, and just having, 1050/ti, 1060, 1070 Ti, and 1080 Ti available until after Volta comes out.
And yeah using gdrr5x will actually cap its mining performance and make it more widely available.

Isn't that a standard overclock that any 1070 can do now?

Yeah 10% faster 1070 at $400 or even $420 or so would likely destroy Vega 56's chances at the same price point.
Nvidia will do anything to :
A. Regain a position in the market
B. Piss off AMD
The Vega 56 beats out the 1070 by a significant enough margin and I guess Nvidia are getting good yields on chips so why the fuck not.
My own view is why on earth would you do this, but then again I'm not running a huge and successful company worth billions.

The 10% part? Yeah sure
A o/c 1070 won't catch up to a 1080 though
It's not that weird
Look at Vega 56 and 64 for example, they're only 10-15% apart
I mean that'll still be noticeably better than this fwiw. Sucks for AMD tho.

Depends on what you paid for it.
Personally, I would recommend spending a bit more and getting whatever the cheapest 1080 ti is if you're already in the $600~ range.
At $500, though, the 1080 is a great deal.
You still have a faster card so it's still a very goof piece of kit.

I have one of the new GTX 1080 models with the 11gbps memory (EVGA FTW2 iCX) that I upgraded to from a 1070 and the perfomance boost is pretty massive. I get better performance in every game at 1440p than I did on the 1070 at 1080p by a decent margin.
I also got Destiny 2 for free with it, which was pretty sweet
I believe that's at 1080p...if you go to 1440p/4k it's well over 30% in most games.

No. 1070Ti will only make sense if they'll drop 1070's price to $300. It would still eat up a lot of non-OC lower end 1080 sales though.
Half a year probably and why should they? It's actually good to see them giving a fuck this time after they've basically ignored whatever AMD did between launches of 970/980 and 1070/1080. This ignore has cost them ~10% of market share in 2015.

What a fucking joke. No, seriously.
If this rumor is true that probably means volta is later next year.
Do we know how big a jump the Volta will be compared to the current line up available? I was looking to upgrade my GPU later this year but I'm not sure if I should wait for the new chipset. My current card is the 970.

Nope, looking for a 1070 mini for Destiny 2 and Iiterally every single nVidia card is marked up 25%+ AND sold out.
Even the lowly 1050 Ti's are above MSRP ($140 see them for $160)

Because the one AMD Vega card is slightly faster than the 1070, so they dont want people going AMD for any reason whatsoever.

The question is if they will drop 1080 and 1080ti prices as well since that gap will be reduced. If Volta is ways off I may be tempted to go to 1080ti for say around $500-$550 from my 980ti but I know that won't happen.
There was something wrong with your 1070 then because that shouldn't be possible
You're pushing 78% more pixels @1440p compared to 1080p
I also went from a 1070 to a 1080 and a 20-25% difference seems about right
I could see it overclocking to 1080's stock settings.

It's the 6th most popular card on the Steam Hardware Survey and the third most popular 10 series card. 6% of the market is the 1060, 3% is the 1070,
GPU prices are so screwed up with the miners, well..mining, that I don't even care what anyone releases.
Isn't one of them supposed to make a card FOR mining, to take the pressure of these GPUs?
In may I got a 1050ti for $104, and a g4560 for $59, today's price is like $160 and $130. wtf.

Hopefully, 1070Ti lands at the current price point of 1070, and regular 1070 gets a pricedrop.
[slim chance, Nvidia likes money]
yes, but I'd assume those cards are too expensive vs cheapest whatever that will last as long as the fad; and the secondary market for a card with not shit fans and better cooling appealing to air OCers. The fans on my 970 died a while back, so I ripped them off and lean a case can on the GPU (now it runs cooler, of all things)

Those mining cards are just normal cards without video outputs. The biggest problem is ethash decided to lean on a large working set and memory bandwidth as its limiting factor to try and stop the currency from being immediately taken over by ASIC miners. They should have really leaned on branch prediction to stuff it back onto the CPU but most people have 10 times the GPU power on their processor's die than CPU so I guess that's where they aimed for.
Do these people also think the 1050 TI isn't that far off from a 1080 TI?
It would likely be as fast as the 1080 but use GDDR5 instead of GDDR5X and I assume cheaper starting at say $400-450 (like the original launch of the 1070) instead of $499 for the 1080. This card would be meant to compete with the Vega 56 which is $400 retail if you can actually find it and performs about the same as a 1080.
