I just noticed this on the nvidia website. The GTX 1070 is now at "just $399"

I assume AIB cards could also lower its prices, but who knows.
 
They're both correct. The non-FE MSRP was $379 and the FE was $449. Not that anyone ever saw the $379 price point for a new non-FE card... The cheapest I ever saw the non-FE prior to purchasing one in July of last year was $399.
 
Whats weird is that you could buy an FE version from a AIB parter for much less. For example I got my PNY GTX1070 FE for about $369
 
Should I get the 1070 now or spend a little more and get the 1070 TI. By the way I'm playing at 4k res currently with a 1060 GTX and I'm surprized how well it's doing at 4k. The 1070 would be a big boost over the 1060.

I can get now the EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC2 GAMING, 8GB for $429 or preorder the 1070 TI for $470. So is $429 with or without the new price drop ?

For that prices I'd rather get the Ti version.

GTX 1070 it's basically irrelevant now.. the 1070Ti it's in a weird spot.. a bit more and you buy an AIB GTX 1080@510$ new. or blower style GTX 1080@490$

if you are going 4K go big..

The 1070 is not considered a 4K card if you are looking at recent AAA releases.
 
So...... they're charging for the price it was supposed to be when it first launched...... great lol

Whoever's idea it was to charge a $50 price hike on the FE's at nvidia needs to be fired.
 
I bought a Zotac 1070 for $350. It was an impulse buy and I unfortunately decided to sell it without ever even opening it. At the time I didn't play any games that my 970 couldn't handle and figured I could wait until the end of the year and get one cheaper. Oops
 
Talking about price drop, NVIDIA should have a price drop on their SLI HB bridges, considering most people have ditched SLI.
 
Man, I sold my used GTX 1070 around last Christmast for below $300. I cant believe prices are still this high.
 
Its my hope that I can find 1070's in the $350 range or so around Black Friday/Cyber Monday, what with all the new 1070 Ti's.
 
Damn, the $340 I paid back in March from jet .com for my EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 seems like I got when the getting was good. :ROFLMAO:

Well my 1060 plays a lot of games at 4K just not the newer AAA ones, BF4 with high settings 50fps avarage I'm impressed. But I do feel like it's lacking.

Hopefully you're not thinking above 60 fps and ultra settings, because between high and Ultra the difference is very negligible I would say also you can't even tell the difference you would need a side-by-side screenshots.

A 1070 would put me over the edge on most everything medium to high 60 frames per second on everything new also probably.

I'm still thinking about just waiting until Volta I'm really not a fan of spending more than $250 on a video card typically, maybe stick to some older games until next year then get the 1160 and for $250 and that'll probably have the power of the 1070, this is actually probably what I'm going to do.
 
I can assure you that I can see the difference. I'm a video engineer and I don't have the luxury of still-framing our products to notice quality failures.

negligible and not worth the extra horsepower if your trying to maintain a decent frame rate.

yeah for people with lower gaming standards its that way.

however thats not the focus on this forum, people here expect sustain higher performance possible while using higher settings as possible.

saying the 1060 it's a capable 4K card (when even the 1080 it's just barely capable to) mean very low gaming standards, personally I can notice every difference on games between high and ultra specially those related to shadows, rendering distance, texture qualify, texture sharpening, so most heavy features on games.. for most of us it worth the extra horsepower needed to have a game with all settings dialed up to max with some exceptions in my case as motion blur and related ones.

I'm not saying I'm I can play Witcher 3 at 4k with my 1060 and even if I could I wouldn't play on low settings, I'd wait till I can upgrade. But what I am saying I can play Doom (2016) at 4k on high settings right at 50-60fps which is completely acceptable. If I can't play around 60fps with mostly all high settings at 4k I won't play the game at this time and wait till I upgrade. There are lots of games that the 1060 is good at, but I'm not saying it's a 4k card either, but it's good enough till I upgrade. Don't put words in my month, all I'm saying the 1060 is capable at 4k with high settings 60ish fps with many older games and *some* newer well optimized games.

Also in my *opinion* the difference between high and ultra is negligible (especially if your actually playing the game and not studying screen shots and) I've read this very same opinion 100's of times over the years.
 
The difference between "high and ultra" is different for every single game that has ever been made.
 
For $350 is a good price in line with used 980 Ti's price and performance wise, but saving a LOT of power.

I currently have a 980 Ti, and while it's *slightly faster* when overclocked to 1500mhz boost than an overclocked 1070, the 1070 uses considerably less power.
