NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1070 Thread

[Termie]

So tired of nVidia FE horseshit + paper launch/no supply keeping prices through the roof. Grrrr.

AMD providing no competition at the high end is badly hurting all of us.

The supply is pretty good now. Lots of excellent cards available for $440-$460 (EVGA ACX, MSI Gaming, Zotac AMP are probably best). Whether you regard that as overpriced or fair depends on whether you think Jen-Hsun lied when he said this was a $379 card.

Which he did.

But it's a fantastic $450 card. If you need a $300-400 card, well, there's not much to recommend, except maybe a discounted 980 Ti.

I'm debating a Dell 27 inch g sync monitor to go with it, the s27dg or whatever the model is. Looks like i missed another sale on it for $450.

The 1070 works really well for 1440p but 1440p @ 144Hz would probably require some settings to be lowered in the more demanding games. I don't even think the 1080 has enough horsepower for it.

Yea but wouldn't it just sustain whatever fps it can handle ? I most likely won't play with most of the settings and a lot of times I turn extra settings off as they usually don't make a difference to me.

I figure if for example a game runs at 70-80 fps then the monitor would auto calibrate to that Hz.

It would but personally I'm not a fan of variable refresh rate displays because I prefer to have a constant and consistent refresh rate. So if I'm buying a 144Hz display, I want everything to be running at 144Hz, that way I feel like I'm fully utilizing what the display is capable of.

That makes sense. Do they have a 27 inch model of that monitor you have? I may just consider that instead.

The Dell gsync monitor looks great but then again I don't favor a particular brand so in 3-4 years if I upgrade my GPU to an amd card again, the gsync is useless. I don't get why they can't have universal similar technology in a monitor.

That would make decisions so much easier.

My biggest annoyance with this generation of monitors is a dearth of reasonably priced DisplayPort monitors around 23". I prefer to use 3 monitors at once, not one big one. You're basically reduced to adaptor cables right now ....

I've been trying to buy the Dell sdg27 on best buy for $450 but it's in store pickup only and no stores near me have it.

Their site is also goofy. I tried having it shipped but then it said it could not be shipped.

Thinking of pairing it with the msi 1070 gaming edition, $439 unless the gigabyte 1070 for $399 shows up.

EDIT: I ended up ordering this monitor at Best Buy for pick up:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-27-led-gsync-monitor-black/5293502.p?id=bb5293502&skuId=5293502

27 inch 1440p 144hz Gsync for $449.

Now should I go with the MSI 1070 for try my luck waiting for the $399 Gigabyte model?

Depends on how much you want to spend. The MSI Gaming series cards all have really nice custom PCBs and very large heatsinks but all that isn't really necessary, just nice.

I don't want to over pay more than I already am but I'll stick it out until the monitor is ready for pickup. I hope they don't cancel my order because it was just in stock a couple of minutes before I ordered.

It's got display port and my mobo also has that no dvi though. That shouldn't be an issue until I get a card. I think the Intel graphics will be able to run it minus games obviously until then.

I've noticed that. Now that motherboards are ditching DVI for DP and video cards are including 3 DPs and 1 HDMI on some, the trend might shift soon.

My Dell P2414H is pretty reasonably priced 23" monitor and has DP.

Supply is better than before, but I wouldn't call it pretty good. Cards still keep going in and out of stock. And EVGA just had the gall to jack up the price on the card I was looking at by another $10. Generally the situation just pisses me off and I'm tired of waiting to buy, but I guess I'll wait some more.

So the actual price of the card is about $450, not the $379 Nvidia stated.

That model appears to be discontinued.

Ya sadly it still offers remarkable price/perf at $450 so this is likely to stay like this for a good while.

It's too bad though because at $380 the 1070 would have been among the top 3 price/perf cards.

I'm waiting for that $399 gigabyte to come in stock. Assuming best buy doesn't cancel my order on my new monitor, I have until August 1 to use that -$25 paypal coupon for a GPU.

There are about 30 reviews of the gigabyte model so it must have come in stock and I probably miss out while I'm at work. Otherwise I'm hoping the $439 msi model doesn't sell out before August 1.

Newegg isn't the only place to shop, you know. Plenty of cards available at B&H, all with free shipping:

If it's the SC you wanted at $440, yes it appears to be $450. But the FTW is $460, which is a good deal given its upgrades.

 

[nerp]

Prices will be near MSRP in a couple months. Demand is so high right now.

 

[mkmitch]

I just paid $449 for an EVGA SC, so for the next 2 weeks I will drink two $10 bottles of wine a week instead of $25 bottles and skip the once a week restaurant bill. So in my mind I will have netted $80 LOL. Can't wait for an RS analysis of my purchasing habits.

I bought the same card, but for $439 and I used $30 Amazon credit. Now the same card from Amazon is listed at $489. Sheesh.

Can currently get the Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce edition from eBay for $399.99. Tax is charged in California I think, and maybe Georgia.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gigabyte-Ge...item46514c3ea5&_trkparms=5373:0|5374:Featured

It's from antonline, which is a fairly large e-tailer.

edit: this has made it to slickdeals, so act fast. If you contemplate, it'll probably be sold out (if it hasn't already).

Nice I'd like to order this but I have no idea what is going on with my monitor at best buy. It's been in process for a while now.

The Asus Turbo is selling for $409.99 on Amazon right now...

And the Msi Windforce OC is selling for $399.99 on ebay right now..

Tax kills both deals for me though..

Not a fan of the blower style cooling, never owned one but it sounds less appealing from all the comments I'm reading...ANd then I also read the MSI windroce is really tall and doesnt fit in a lot of cases...hmm

Asus ROG Strix also on Amazon for $429...damn that's a nice looking card~

How much taller can it be? That would suck. Is it taller than a 7970ghz?

There are models going for $399 and once supply/demand come into balance, I expect those $379 models to show up in order to boost demand.
