Why are you comparing it to the titan x and not the much much cheaper 980ti
Are you nvidia marketing? because you talk like you are.
it's also a smaller chip than the gtx 970 so it should and will be cheaper in a while
And what is this garbage even?
Shame on you

Msi is seriously overpriced and armor typically isn't anything special. I'd wait for some review of evga cards how their new cooler works.

Yeah like I said I'm still waiting out the EVGA reviews, I'm not in any sort of hurry.
Local store in Dubai. We have a mall called Computer Plaza with about 20 odd shops (most of them owned by 3 main retailers
) which sell computer hardware here. A lot of times we get stuff a few days or even a week earlier than standard retail date for hardware. I got lucky with the GTX 1070. Only this shop had stock and that too a handful of units. Most of the guys are awaiting delivery, they all use various suppliers, so they will get the stock tomorrow or after the weekend.

I'm 99% certain that it will be only FE cards for the next 1-2 weeks or so - possibly more if the demand for AIB cards will outstrip supply.

You're fine, but you should overclock your CPU to 4ghz+.

Does anyone with a Alienware X51 know if this badboy will fit inside the case? I know the power draw isn't enough to cause issues but I want to know if it will physically fit in the case itself?
Stock 1070 minimum framerates can be below 60fps but an overclocked one should be fine. Bear in mind most benchmarks are at ultra settings, which will include some effects which are high cost but limited return so that'd give you more frames back. Should be fine really for pretty much every game at 1440p
I'm running 3440x1440 so I'm guessing framerates would be about 25-30% lower than 1440p results, which is why I'm thinking to go with a 1080 - although it is too expensive

Anyone have guesses as to when we'll start seeing these at MSRP?
My GTX 970 isn't quite good enough for my Vive. <_<

4590 will be fine. What monitor do you have?
Personally I wouldn't get a 970 unless the used prices fall through the floor, and even at rock bottom prices the AMD 480 may be a better option as that should outperform the 970 for $199
Hi, thanks for the reply. I play on my Sony Bravia kdl something 48" TV.
Also I'm in the UK so that card you mention could be around £150ish? That sounds pretty sweet!
Edit... Thinking about it I do like nividas features such as shadow play... Also their cards seem to run some games better? Any help would be great.
I'm wondering the same thing. I want one of these cards, but I'm not willing to spend the $440 or whatever for the founders edition. Gimmie one of those $380 cards EVGA cards please.

There likely won't be a $380 card if EVGA's 1080s are anything to go by, as they sell EVGA-branded non-Founder's Edition blower cooled 1080s for $610, and then at $620 they sell their ACX 3.0 cooler 1080s.
So I would personally expect the EVGA ACX 3.0 1070s to go for about $400. Given their track record with the excellent previous ACX cooler designs, the extra $20 should be more than worth it.
It was up on Amazon for an entire minute.

Wait for RX480 release on 29th and then decide between its 8GB version (~$230) and 1070 custom (~$400). Both cards should be a nice upgrade from your 960 2GB even for 1080p. Avoid 970 as it's an old outgoing card with a smaller VRAM amount which will become an issue soon.
1080p TV will be fine with the 480. The 1070 is a great card but likely twice the price. I'm going for a 1070/1080 because I need more performance for my 1440p UW monitor but also I want the extra stuff they're bringing for VR to improve performance and quality.

There's so little information about any of this, it's ridiculous.
1070 FE preorders were up on the US page earlier but have seen closed orders.
Forgot to mention, I'm in the UK. We haven't had anything for the 1070's just yet.
Lol, that's pretty much what a 980 cost isn't it?
The new EVGA WTF model
That's stupid.
fake edit: was just checking apple as a comparison, using the iPhone SE which would fairly recently have set prices based on exchange rates.
In the US the 16GB SE is $399 so $20 more than the 1070 MSRP. The 64GB is $449, so $50 more than the 1070 FE
In the German&French store, the 16GB is 489, the 64GB is 589.
In the UK store, the 16GB is £359, the 64GB is £439
If those exchange rates + VAT hold up, it would suggest a price range of approximately 489/499 for base level 1070s, and 549 for FE. So that EVGA is possibly a bargain!? In the UK it'd be around £359 for basic cards and £399 for FE

Holy.. is this for real.
I was expecting 399 here but that's just.. wow. I guess I'll be waiting a while for the non-FE price drop.

I mean, we already knew the FE would cost 500 in Europe (Germany here), didn't we? I remember reading a roundtable discussion on PCGames Hardware about it.
edit: from last week "Geforce GTX 1070: Are 500 too much?" The opinion of PCGH-editors on a current topic"
The real questions is, how much cheaper are the custom cards going to be. I'm expecting a 40-50 drop compared to the FE (it's a $70 difference in the US). With GTX970 prices holding at ~280- ~320, they'll definitely be going well above 400 with the 1070.

It's still a complete bullshit price for a mid-tier card. Though if this article is correct:
http://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.ph...1070-founders-edition-ab-heute-im-handel.html
and the non-FE cards will be 419€ and up, that'd be more manageable, at least. Not ideal, since that's still 100€ more than what the 970 launch price was, and arguably the 970 was a better card than the 1070, when compared to their respective x80's.
It all depends on AMD, really. Otherwise there's zero reason for Nvidia to lower their prices. The NDA on AMD's new cards is in effect until June 29th, we'll know better after the independent benchmarks for those come out.

They will go down a bit in month after the Founders Editions are replaced. I'm definitely waiting too.
What a horrible business practice, but I guess the thirst is real so people are okay with paying more to get it first.

Oh, it's definitely a bullshit price, I just assumed we all already had that scoff/freakout last week, when the FE price was announced.
And 419€ would indeed be more manageable. Pretty close to my absolute threshold and more than I would've paid for any card before... but at least I'm seriously considering a purchase. At 499€, no way.
Prices will go down if there is less demand. So basically no.
Yeah, makes sense. Thanks for the replies. My 970 is plenty strong for now though, I can easily wait till next summer for some possible price drops.
Those cards won't compete with a 1070 performance wise, don't set yourself up for a disappointment.
Oh I know, AMD themselves have said as much. But it all depends on just how big of a gap there is between their offerings and the 1070. If it's close enough, and the cards are significantly cheaper than the 1070, a lot of people will go with AMD and thus pressure Nvidia to lower their prices.

No Vega till later, but if we're going by AdoredTV's guesses, we could be seeing something in that performance bracket at E3.
I'm excited as all getout and am definitely in the market for an upgrade from my 290. It's gonna be either the 480, 480X/490 or 1070 depending on overall standing later this month.
I, for one, am going to be watching the PC Gaming Show with bated breath.
