I wasn't suggesting that the 980Ti is better than 1070 but I just think all that hassle will only have you a few $ at the end of the say. If you will upgrade to the 1080Ti then its unlikely you would benefit from the better driver support of the 1070.
Not to mention the 1070's value is also likely to drop after the 1080Ti.
Asustek Computer, viewing that gaming notebooks have become a main source of consolidated operating profit, has recently strengthened marketing strategies for the second half through adopting Nvidia Pascal-architecture GPUs including GeForce GTX 1080/1070/1060 to hike hardware specifications as well as setting retail prices comparable to those quoted by Micro-Star International (MSI) in the US and Europe and those set by Haier in the China market, according to industry sources.
Sweepr, you should probably change the thread title from "NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1070 Reviews" to "General nvidia thread" or "General Pascal Thread" or something.
GP102 news, lots of GTX 1060 news, 980 ti price drops, general 9xx price drops.
The alternative is creating a new thread for each of this news. That's actually not a bad idea, thanks for the suggestion linkgoron.
Alternative to what? I'm not saying you shouldn't post the news in one thread, I just suggested changing the title of the thread to "general Pascal thread" to better reflect the content of the thread, as this thread is obviously not just about 1070 reviews, as shown by my six links above.
Isn't a max oc 980 ti faster than a max oc 1070? Also new 980ti is going for $370 AR with custom cooler and pcb on newegg. Cheapest 1070 are around $450 with a subpar reference cooler.The 980ti is dropping in price more and more.
I can get a 1070 for the same price I sold a 980ti or less, consumes less power, has 2gb of extra vram, runs cooler and makes no noise compared to an oced 980ti, misc new tech support, better dx12 performance and probably better driver support in the future.
Thinking if a custom 980ti would be a good upgrade for me or wait for a custom 1070. I was gonna go with an amd 480 but that isn't enough of an upgrade. But yet I don't know, I keep my cards a long time.Isn't a max oc 980 ti faster than a max oc 1070? Also new 980ti is going for $370 AR with custom cooler and pcb on newegg.

Isn't the trend now that nvidia isn't supporting their hardware for long periods of time anymore? Amd hardware support coupled with a $200 price tag makes the 480 a very good value proposition.Thinking if a custom 980ti would be a good upgrade for me or wait for a custom 1070.

Yea that is true I may just go with that option even though it's not the strongest option. Waiting for Vega is just too long.Isn't the trend now that nvidia isn't supporting their hardware for long periods of time anymore?

Even if 980ti oc is faster in dx11 - in future dx12 games and vr 1070 will probably prove a good deal faster. Besides its less noisy at oc levels. Well worth the 370 vs 450 difference imo. But that surely depens on ones needs.Max OC for both cards end up in a virtual tie. http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=38280577&postcount=56
It says you have 90 days to start the step up process as long as you register your product.Does anyone know if EVGA's step-up program applies to models that are already released? For example, if I bought an EVGA 970 now, would I be able to use step-up to get a 1070 within 3 months (paying the price difference, obviously)?

Well the 1070 is out and they have a list of cards you can step up to on that page. 970 is one of them and so is 1070 and 1080.Yes, I know, but it also leads with "The EVGA Step-Up program helps you have the peace of mind to purchase your favorite product now, knowing you can upgrade to the latest parts that come out within the first 90 days from your purchase."
Most likely it would work, but I'd need to be absolutely certain, so I'll probably have to contact EVGA anyway.
When AMD releases a GTX1070 killer at a lower price point. Overnight, expect to have all their cards sell very close to the "MSRP" of $379.
If the launch price was $379 I would be trying to buy one now. I may just go with a 8gb 480 since I like to keep my my cards a long time. I've happily kept this 7970ghz over 4 years. I'm bummed that nvidia support doesn't last long anymore for their cards. I don't like upgrading often.Is it sad that I am more excited about this than I am about the Polaris launch? Cheap 1070's will be the go to recommendation for a lot of users. I want to believe.
At this point in time it's an Oxymoron; sure we all do or at least some of us :thumbsup:Is it sad that I am more excited about this than I am about the Polaris launch? Cheap 1070's will be the go to recommendation for a lot of users. I want to believe.
