Just curious if you're planning to buy a GTX 1070 and/or 1080. If not, what will you buy instead?

I was truly looking the cut-down GP104 which turned out to be the $449 1070. I was hoping that this would be around +20% of the 980ti for $300 which may seem like a lot but we jumped almost two full nodes so why would I expect less?
nVidia used to at least try to offer this kind of value..
The $300 8800gts was about 40% faster than the outgoing $500+7900gtx with just a half node jump.
nVidia should be charging $300 for what we think may not even equal last gen's high end. I understand if we were on the same node but this is a cutdown chip that is almost half the size! all a node that is rumored to be getting great yields! It uses normal GDDR5 and a 256-bit bus.
A $300 1070 would have been fairly compelling but now i will be waiting to see what Polaris 10 can delivery under $300 as we have zero new cards to choose from the most popular price bracket on the planet.
After the big chips land, we will look back at the 1070 with its old school DDR5 and it might look pretty anemic in hind sight. I get the feeling that card should have been a 1060ti or something.

Oh yes This GTX1070 is 100% renamed 1060TI.Old DDR5 and not DDR5x and 2048 or less SP so it will be just overclocked GTX980.Very very very disappointing.After the big chips land, we will look back at the 1070 with its old school DDR5 and it might look pretty anemic in hind sight.

Huge assumption there.Nothing any time soon. I'll give my $700 per GPU to the big die, high end chips instead of buying the mid range 1080/1070.
