Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Review Thread

I have no idea about postage to Finland, but please don't look up pricing on Amazon

Did some quick comparisons on some of the shops that do ship to Finland and it would seem it's not worth it. Shame.
Well, it's all hypothetical anyway, I don't expect the cards I potentially want to be in stock for a while anyway.

That MSI 1070 Gaming X is a beast, that bad boy is definitely going in my Skylake build.
Nope.

This will be my xmas gift to myself. Best bang for the buck...
I know technology moves fast. i just cant help but feel like Titan X owners got the middle finger on this one. Nvidia touted the TX as the ultimate, the enthusiast, no compromise card. And then faster cards come out at a fraction of the price shortly after.
I more pissed at myself, because the enthusiast in me still wants it.

I'm going to try to exercise enough self-control to wait for a non-FE card...

If I'm not overclocking, will the blower cooler of the FE be a problem?
What would I have to do with the fan curve on the FE 1070 to not get thermal throttling if my EVGA GTX 970 SSC gets up to 79 degrees under heavy loads (with its default fan curve)?

I find it funny they keep telling people to go to their website yet their website has been screwed up for over 2 hours now and just gets worse as more people try to access it because they tell them to go there

I was thinking about replacing my 970 with a 1070... these prices are bumming me out (especially the CAD prices!).
Is this a case where the custom cards are paper launched? My friend is going to be disappointed. His video card just died and is using on board for the moment. Going to have to break the bad news and this is how founders editions are bought.

It's probably going to be at least 2 weeks before we see non-FE cards, and then there's going to be a mad rush for people buying them.

yeah...didn't expect the 1080 prices to be the more fair of the two at least by USD
they should have just said MSRP for the 1070 was $425-$450 since that where they are really starting their prices

How trustworthy is Hardware Canucks?
I want to believe in my Canadian brethren, but just want to be sure I'm reading something quality and balanced.
Also what kind of prices is 1070 at in diff countries? I can use US or CAD prices usually.

Hardware Canucks are excellent! They make great reviews and they have an awesome YouTube channel too!
founders editions in the UK are £399, or $572 US. That does include 20% sales tax,

in the US...
EVGA ACX 3.0 is $420
EVGA ACX 3.0 SC is $440 (rolls eyes)
no idea what the other cards are but probably just as ridiculous if not worse
I expect all of the others (FTW, Strix, Gaming X, G1, etc) to start at $460-$470 and go up from there
All paper launches, yup. I don't think it'll take 2-4 weeks like some people here think, but it'll take at least until next week. The irony is that, for the 970, it was actually the reference cards that were hard to come by and custom cards were out on day one.

Same boat. I have one ordered through Amazon, but they won't say when it'll ship out.

Thanks dudes.
That's way out of my price bracket lmao ^^

those are just my guesses based on that known EVGA pricing...but the way it looks right now it seems accurate enough to how it'll play out

Fuck yeah 4 days left to Step Up my 970 with EVGA and they have the 1070 available!! Talk about cutting it close. Just submitted a request. $90 difference is all I gotta pay!
What the hell. So sc is 440 dollars but it's 430 pounds over here? That is just absurd.
It should be just over 300 pounds.

none really AFAIK...other than the factory OC they are the same card

ok EVGA...
Why would they putthe FE over their custom card? They either think people are idiots or it's some Nvidia bs.

The prices don't 'seem' that outrageous to me. What is it, a £50 bump over the 970 launch price? Considering the performance increase, and the fact that you would need to spend a fair bit more to get a 980ti or Titan X and comparable grunt. Seems a good buy to me still even with the bump.

If the traditional budget brands of Gainward, KFA and Palit are coming in at 469-489... ayy
Cheapest model I've found here is going for £374.99 in the UK, but that's a pre-order on Overclockers UK. I'm not sure if that's their standard policy for new releases or that stock has sold out already. Regardless that price seems decent. I'm actually tempted.
However, I have no idea how 'good' these partner 1070s are. I'm guessing they're all a little bit better than the FE and, to be honest, the performance is still going to be really good regardless so I don't care that much.
Edit: pre-order means out of stock. Could be a while before we get any then considering people are continuing to pre-order.

The 970 launched for £260 in the UK, the cheapest 1070 now is £400, with custom models costing even more - it's launching at 980 prices. There do so seem to be some cheaper ones coming, but those are still over £100 more than a 970, and come with plastic blowers.

An OC'd custom cooler 970 could be had for $339 on release and was faster than a 780ti... This is a full $100 price hike for the same relative performance.

Screw this I'm done. I'm going to save myself the frustration and blood pressure from rising dealing with these junk websites from EVGA crashing out, and somehow newegg and such selling out within seconds. This launch for both cards has been awful, and they should be ashamed of themselves. I'll just get one down the road I guess.
Odd thing though, i'm having some real trouble finding Zotac non-FE cards, anywhere, in both 1080 and 1070.

Except by then 1070 owners will have gotten 2 years of fantastic performance out of their cards, and will be happy to upgrade. The Titan X came out just over a year ago.

The US is paying $100 more for the 1070 so kinda £70-ish more in UK terms, which is about what we are paying more then. Still seems fair considering how good performance is compared to the 970, especially if custom card prices undercut the FE.

Why dont you guys just import? Is VAT different if you do? Which drives up the cost?

EVGA basic OCed custom card is $10 less than FE. The higher quality, faster OCs will presumably be MORE than the FE.
Fuck everything.
