So it is not clearly ahead of the titan x as expected.

 

[tviceman]

Not the best of reviews, but performance is about where it was expected to end up; generally a tad bit faster than Titan X at 1080p and 1440p, and a tad bit slower at 4k. If the AIB custom cards are under $400 and close to the $379, then it's a pretty good card for the money considering new node costs. GTX 670 was MSRP $399 on it's release just over 4 years ago - the 1070 has 4 times as much memory and close to 3x the performance.

heh OC is like non existing.GTX980TI after oc will destroy it by 20-25%

The division

ashes of singularity

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Wow this card gets wrecked in The Division but looks pretty solid in all the other benches.

It will be good but we all know it wont happen.All decent aftermarket 1070 will be above 400USD.

 

[boozzer]

is that the max oc? looks like 5%? that would be atrocious.

You sure? The Strix 1080 is only $20 over MSRP. The EVGA ACX 3.0 1080 is also $620.

Is this source trustworthy? Or is it the French version of WCCF?

Yep..Card is memory bandwidth bottleneck and also already boosting to 1.9Ghz at stock

Yeah, both those cards won't hit market for months if not years! /s

At this point just all the predictions of GTX 1080 were wrong (except mine ), so I say ignore them and wait for cards to hit the market.

My GTX 980 Ti will have to weather the DX12 storm, but GF is in love with Overwatch and I can run it @ 4K 60FPS, so I'm not worried about missing out selling it to get her a GTX 1070.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

So does anyone know this site? Because it's a little strange seeing a review before the NDA is up (otherwise we'd have 100 reviews right now).

 

[moonbogg]

Pretty good performance. 980ti OC will beat it, but only in DX11 games. In DX12 games, the 1070 will totally smash 980ti/titan X and make them both look as pathetic as the 780ti does. Full blown Kepler effect is under way, whether due to planned obsolescence or purely due to architecture, the result will soon be the same. Last gen will be as dead as a door nail. 1080ti should make for a compelling DX12 card.
I think the aftermarket 1070's will sell like absolute nuts.

Looks like GP104 will have GK104-like OC headroom, maybe even a little less. I want to see how custom AIB boards handle overclocking before making a final decision, but it is without a doubt that GP104 will have neither GM200 nor GM204 OC headroom.

 

[SimianR]

I think the fact that at stock its the same or slightly ahead of a 980 Ti is going to make for great marketing. Being able to say "as fast as a 980 Ti with 8GB of VRAM" for $370 will fly off the shelves. It offers somewhat of an upgrade for R9 290/390(x) and 970 users, where as its looking like polaris might come in short of 980 Ti performance (we shall see).

I don't think it was expected to be way ahead of titan x, just faster than it which the benches prove. If it were far ahead of titan x, it would make the 1080 pointless. As it is the benches are very good and make the last gen 390/390x and even the 970/980 look obsolete. The only outlier is The Division, and since it's the only one like that out of about 10 different tests, it's likely that one is more of a correctable driver problem.

OC'ing looks like it might be a little underwhelming, but I'll be curious to see the results on some AIB cards with better cooling and some extra power input.

 

[Kris194]

It's not driver problem. The Division chart is simply bugged

Translated by Google Translate

Game of the year for some, The Division is none the less greedy. The title of Ubisoft likes GeForce ... but not only! So while the GeForce GTX 1080 is first, the Radeon R9 Fury occupy second and third places in 4K before the GeForce GTX 1070. Which is 9% faster than the GeForce GTX Titan X 1440p and 45% faster than the GeForce GTX 970. Given the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, GeForce GTX 1070 is 14% faster. As for the gap between GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070, it was 23% in favor of the GeForce GTX 1080 still 1440p.

On this chart, GTX 1070 is nowhere faster than GTX 980Ti not to mention Titan X and the gap between GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 is way bigger than they say. GTX 1070 would have to score ~71,19 FPS to be 45% faster than GTX 970 in 1440p and ~80,22 FPS to be 9% faster than Titan X in 1440p. Their math is really weird.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Is it just a memory bandwidth issue in The Division? Even the 390X is getting creamed.

On a separate note... what does this do to the used market for 980 Ti's? I can't see them being worth more than about $325.00 used now.

The 980Ti scales much better with OCing, 30-45%, while the 1070 can't reach 10%. $350-450, depending on the type of card.

Similar to GDDR3 4850 vs GDDR5 4870, although in that case both cards used full RV770s without any cutting.

GDDR5 must be gimping GP104 hard, on top of a 25% SPs and extra resources cut for the 1070. That could explain why a 2GHz OC like the 1080's results in 5-10% gains at 4k.

 

[Stuka87]

Yeah, but that is a much more expensive card, which means putting more money into the cooler will raise the MSRP by a smaller amount, as there is already some play room. With cheaper cards, profit margins are smaller, so the price typically goes up more with aftermarket versions.

Really embarrassing to see 390X keeping up with 1070 in some recent games. The Division, Hitman and AotS specifically.

The bandwidth was always going to be a problem, add to that 256bit vs 512bit on the 390x & you have a mini storm in a tea cup. I guess any of the claims that mem compression on Pascal was enhanced should be taken with a bucket full of salt, that or the skimpy 256bit is just too little for 4K. I see a repeat of 960 here & looks like the 1070 will be even more horrid VFM card, it'll also age real badly if the some of the recent benches indicate a growing trend,

full GPU at a much lower clock (625 vs 750), and GDDR3 at 2GHz vs GDDR5 at 3.6GHz, it's not the same difference with GDDR5 8GHz and GDDR5X 10GHz
