I posted this in another thread, but it might be more appropriate here, although it's not a full review, just a performance preview with initial tests.

GeForce GTX 1070 performance preview: goodbye, 980 Ti (PCGamer Hardware is made up of the MaximumPC guys)

the GTX 1070 beats or exceeds the performance of the Titan X in every game, at every resolution we tested. Yeah, really.

If you were wondering about Nvidia's claims of beating a Titan X in performance with a $380-$450 GTX 1070, well, we can safely put any concerns of cherry picked benchmarks to rest. It's the real deal.

Minimum frame rates are a similar story, with an overall 12-14 percent lead over the Titan X and 980 Ti...

There's only 1 chart for the 15 game average, and all the individual benchmark charts will be in their full review.
 
GameSpot Review

With a 12-23 percent delta between it and the GTX 1080, the GTX 1070 certainly isn’t as fast as its big brother, but it also costs roughly 36 percent less. When you compare it to the Titan X, it’s up to nine percent faster and up to 55 percent cheaper. That’s a crazy good deal. Sure, the GTX 1070 makes some concessions against the GTX 1080, but, for the most part, it performs admirably where it counts.
 
"The product is obviously PCI-Express 3.0 compatible, it has a max TDP of around 150 Watts with a typical idle power draw of 5 to 10 Watts. That TDP is a maximum overall, and on average your GPU will not consume that amount of power."

Impressive as hell.
 
Looks fantastic, but i'm going to wait on AMD before rushing a decesion. Got nothing to lose at this point

I'm with that. My 970 is still doing well enough at 1080p on new games. I'm really hoping AMD comes out with something with aggressive pricing.
 
Is it really a 12-23 percent difference between the 1070 to 1080? I thought given the specs the 1080 would have had at least 25% advantage this time around.
 
Pretty damn impressive and this coming from an owner of 2xTitan X cards. It really blows my mind that the 1070 in most games and in almost all resolutions is besting the 980ti and Titan X. I know a lot of people were not expecting such good results, but damn it is pretty impressive.
 
Im pretty sure this is my next card.. coming from an 770.
just waiting on polaris to make the choice.

Cant wait to play all 1080p games @ +120Hz.
1440p monitor will have to wait some more.
 
Sure is tempting. I've never actually built a desktop before, but I'm tempted to try with a 1070. Just need to figure out how much a full rig will set me back.
 
i already sold my 980ti 3 days before the reveal of the 1080 and 1070 for almost 600$ .Right now i am back on my R9 290x . i will wait for the 1070 normal price. this way i will get better performance and save money.

I am still debating if i should get this or the 1080. but as currently i am still rocking 2 1080P screens, I am not in rush to pay the premium 100$ price. if anything i think its a rip off.
 
So what are GTX 980ti's worth now? Under $400 surely. Realistically $320-350 for a used unit considering the performance increase on the GTX 1070 and 2 more GB RAM.

I'll be honest, if i can get a GTX 980ti for that price I wouldn't mind picking it up, since GTX 1070 at $400 price mark from MSI/ASUS wouldn't be available till 2+ months.

I'd say under $350, but good luck finding anyone selling one for that. Probably going to stay around $400 in the short term if 1070 availability is low, and there will be some demand for used Tis from people picking up a second for SLI.
 
shit, shoulda waited seven months from last November and picked up one of these instead.

When I saw those benchmarks the collective groans of all individuals who have bought enthusiast cards in the last 6-12 months around the world was almost audible.
 
Oh man oh man I can't wait. Got 15+ hrs of overtime too and I'm caught up on my bills... might just say F it and get a founders.

People who buy enthusiast cards kinda understand how technology works though. It doesn't stand still.

The 980ti and Titan X are still fast cards. Indeed, given how they apparently overclock further than both the new cards, it is impressive that they can still hold their own. Certainly enough so as to allow owners to hold off until the ti variation of the new cards emerge.
 
Still not sure this is worth me upgrading my GTX 980 for. I mean I game at 1440p but I'm thinking I might just hold off till the proper HBM2 cards. Not sure it would be as massive an upgrade as I'd like for that money. Maybe I've just become a stingy FPS whore in my old age...

Worst case is that you wait and the first HMB2 cards are not worth the price and you have to end up getting the mature 1070 revisions at a good price.
