How fast do you think GeForce GTX 1070 will be?

My bets are at most 980 Ti performance and at worst overclocked 980 performance with it probably landing somewhere in between. I don't see how it can be close to 1080 performance with 8GT/s RAM and a cut down GP104 (most likely). To top it off nVIDIA is pricing it much lower than the 1080.

What do you guys think?

On a side note, I pulled the trigger on a Zotac 980 AMP! for $300 just to test my luck. It seems 980 ti and 980 are dropping like rocks in price on the second hand market. Curious if it ends up being a good deal :p if not, oh well...

Just a wild guess: Maybe they'll do a 1070Ti with 2240 SP?

I would guess atleast 980 Ti/Titan X performance for stock and maybe even slightly better. 2048 cuda cores clocked at 1.6 Ghz boost should give 6.5 TFLOPS.

5-10% faster than a stock reference 980 Ti if it's a 2048SP with around 1.7GHz clocks.

If the clocks are lower then it'll be like the 970 vs 780 Ti, about 5-10% slower.

Maybe around 980Ti stock.

Still better though because:
1) More VRAM
2) Almost half cheaper than 980Ti
3) Simultaneous Multi-Projection
4) Lower power consumption
5) At the moment drivers would be optimized for pascal

6.5Tflops is:
2304SP at 1410Mhz
2176SP at 1500Mhz
2048SP at 1590Mhz
1920SP at 1700Mhz

one of these will be GTX1070 for sure :cool:

Due to less memory bandwidth I think it'll end up:

Slightly faster than a TX at 1080p, +5%

Slower than a 980 Ti at high resolutions like 4K, -5 to -10% depending on the game.

300$ for an overclocked 980Ti is definitely a better deal than 1070 sucker's edition or even the normal one that is for now. If the same thing happens to 980Ti that happened to 780Ti you are out of luck if you intend to keep the card for long. However by the time 980Ti falls like a rock in performance per NV's planned obsolescence scheme there will be big die GPUs on the market so provided that you don't intend to keep the card for long I think you shouldn't regret this purchase.
450$ vs 300$ that's not even the same price bracket...
UPDATE: I thought you bought 980Ti... My bad.

1070 RRP is $379. $450 is the founders edition - unless you really want the reference cooler I don't know why you'd pay that.

Latest rumour by Chiphell says it's only 15-20% slower than Geforce GTX 1080, not sure if they're talking about Founders Edition or custom models though.

If true it is the pefect reason for me to don't buy any Pascal cards and very unfunny joke. 1920SP (half of GP100) for 379$? What a garbage...

Its good to hear you dont buy performance but rather specs on paper.

So if its 980TI performance or better for the price of 379$ with 8GB and 150W or whatever it will be. You wont buy it because its Cuda core count is X and not Y.

Only if you can get a good deal on it. I think the 1070 will be the better bet. Newer architecture, probably better overclocking headroom, more VRAM (i.e. more future proof), etc.

I wouldn't recommend buying a Maxwell based high end gaming card at this point, wait for Pascal.

I do hope that we see Pascal rolling out to lower price points soon, keeping the 960/950 around for too much longer would not be good.

And when you stop getting priority for driver optimizations, you will change your mind very quickly.

There's a reason why 970/980/980 Ti prices on the secondary market are tanking right now. If you want top performance from nVidia you need their latest generation of cards.
