The official NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is now live. There is a sign up button so that you can be notified when the GeForce GTX 1070 is available. We've posted pics and specs below.

$449 USD for the Founders Edition, $379 USD starting price for everything else. Launch price of the GTX 970 was $329.So 50-100% faster than the $300 card its replacing. And it cost how much?
Looks like this might actually be a 6GB + 2GB card .

That is precisely the point - other than the differences stated (memory type and clock speeds) it is, in fact, identical to the GTX1080 - down to the cooling.
For my rota, a GTX1080 would be, in fact, monstrous overkill. Yet (so far - on paper), it outperforms the GTX970 - at the same price - with a lower power draw.
(Question - does even a single STRIX GTX970 do 4K on a single display at all? If it can't, while a single GTX1070FE can, then why buy a single GTX970 if 4K is in the plans?)
Nice. I paid $349 each for my pair of STRIX during launch week.$379 is acceptable. I paid 325'ish for my ASUS Strix 970.
Benchmarks in the coming weeks will be helpful to figure out improvement in 1440p and 4K performance over the prior cards; if it indeed is 'Faster than a Titan X'.That is precisely the point - other than the differences stated (memory type and clock speeds) it is, in fact, identical to the GTX1080 - down to the cooling.

If this laughs at 1440p at decent eyecandy settings, I'd probably go for this instead of the 1080. As much as I'd like to pitch my 7890, i don't want to have a 350-450 dollar paper weight either when the Ti's drop when spending the difference on a 1080 would have been better, even if i dont spring for a Ti or AMD's competing card. (If they even make one this round)
All i know is I'm tired of waiting to upgrade. Would i be better off waiting a little longer or is it safe to say I've waited long enough? I doubt i will ever end up doing 4k gaming within the next 2 years.
The 1070 is expected to be about on par with the 980 Ti (stock vs. stock), so I'd agree this would be the sweet spot as far as cost-performance ratio for 2560x1440.If this laughs at 1440p at decent eyecandy settings, I'd probably go for this instead of the 1080.

Brent_Justice Can we expect a review of this in the future as well?
Too bad... Looking forward to your next DIY bonsai guide.No, we are going to ignore new card launches from here on out. We are changing our focus to botany, yes botany. Not enough review sites out there about plants these days. Gotta figure out how to overclock a plant.
If anyone can figure out a way, it'd be you. Sorry to doubt I let my enthusiasm get the best of meNo, we are going to ignore new card launches from here on out.

This is the card I'm more interested in atm..
Don't care so much about the 1080, if I'm spending that much money I might as well hold out for the Ti version or HBM2.

It's actually 75% of 1080 performance for 63% price rather than 75% for 75%.So three fourths of the GPU for a little less than 3/4ths of the price. Pass.
Fertilizer ;-)
Now add some to the GTX1080 and grow into a Big Pascal
Still on 2 GTX580's in SLI here, got the upgrade itch bad...but will wait for GTX1080Ti
The waiting might be long. I think of getting 1070 for now and upgrading to 1080ti later if I need to.
My gut tells me it will be the same as with 980. Cool but overpriced card that will become even less attractive when 1080ti will be release for $100-150 more with significant performance increase. Might be different because of HBM2 this time if it gets it and 1080ti can end up being too expensive. However I bet that 1070 will be very popular with good resale market. At the end of the end of the day I'm planning to build a compact PC for which I can reuse that 1070 once I replace it with something. Though itching pushes me towards 1080 and I need to fight itI'm in the same boat. I'm betting there will be a decent 1070 re-sale market even when the 1080ti is coming out; although that's largely dependent on AMD releases

It's funny you mention this because I actually helped run a botany review website for a family friend for several years. I am totally serious.No, we are going to ignore new card launches from here on out. We are changing our focus to botany, yes botany. Not enough review sites out there about plants these days.
