Convincing, the GeForce GTX 1070 is certainly, and compromises made by NVIDIA we seem to be good. The brand does not renew the mistakes made with the GeForce GTX 970 while the amount of onboard video memory by the GeForce GTX 1070, 8 GB, seems guarantee of sustainability. A continuity that does not stop at the only amount of video memory and also due to the Pascal architecture.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition Review & Benchmark

NVidia's GTX 1070 Founders Edition card is an exceptionally strong overclocker, especially considering the limitations we encountered on the GTX 1080. This extra headroom is primarily resultant of a cooler chip overall, thanks to simplification of the die, but is also just because the clock runs lower stock.

The GTX 1070 trades spots with the reference 980 Ti in many instances, and would still hold a lead over AIB cards in a few cases. The gap between the 1070 and 1080 ranges 10% to 20% across the board. Against the previous gen GTX 970, gains are enough to push the GTX 1070 into an emergent class of card ready for ultra settings at 1440p, and can handle some games at 4K – though not nearly as well as the GTX 1080.

If you're running something like a GTX 970 and up, or R9 390X and up, on a 1080p display, there's really not much need to upgrade to the GTX 1070. The GTX 1070 primarily shines in multi-generational jaunts or with a move to higher resolutions. Where the 1080 establishes itself as the king of 4K gaming, the 1070 establishes itself in a similarly dominant position for 1440p gaming.

Now, as for the Founders Edition, we're taking the same stance we took with the GTX 1080: Buy an AIB card. They'll be way cooler – not that the 1070 is particularly hot, but it's got room for improvement – and will certainly fill-in the cheaper end of the market. $450 is the hidden cost of this card. Although MSRP allows cards to enter the market below $400, the Founders Edition will remain at $450 – and we think it makes more sense to buy the more effectively cooled AIB models instead.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Review
Is Nvidia’s new $380 graphics card really more powerful than a $1,000 Titan X?

If you were tallying the wins between the GTX 1070 and the Titan X in my suite of benchmarks, then you’ll know that the 1070 beat the Titan X in all of the benchmarks with the exception of one test, where it was just one percent behind. Not only is this within the statistical margin of error, but it was a test done at 1080p with both cards averaging over 140 FPS. Like the Titan X and GTX 1080 before it, the GTX 1070 is overkill for 1080p gaming, unless you’re running a really high refresh rate monitor. Also like the GTX 1080, it will be able to max out all 1440p games with playable framerates as well, though it won’t achieve above 60 average FPS for the most taxing games. It’s also a viable card if you want to dip your feet into 4K, but, again, it won’t be able to max out the most graphically demanding games there.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 review

Face it, the 1080 is the card we all want but cannot afford. The next best thing is going to be the GeForce GTX 1070 and yeah, this little freaky deaky still has got plenty of ooomph under the hood. In fact, more then plenty for any PC gamer out there that plays his or her games up-to the WQHD domain and 2560x1440 ('ish). The 1070 is as such a truly nice upgrade if you come from the GeForce GTX 960/970 range, and let's face it despite being one of the best sellers ever, Nvidia won't mind forgetting about that 970. That 970 level of rendering performance is the finer threshold for upgrading though as with anything faster it will not be worth the upgrade. The new architecture proves its agility and the die shrink to 16 nm FiNFET shows low power consumption due to lower voltages and obviously the high clock-speeds and that 8 Gbps GDDR5 memory offer the product that the GTX 1070 is. Depending on street prices you can expect a 379 USD/EURO price tag if you steer away from the too expensive, Founders Editon card. But hey choices are each to its own of course. If you stick to the WHQD 2560x1440 domain this is the card that will last you a good while. For Ultra HD usage (high FPS) however the answer still needs to be found in two cards. But hey, if WHQD is your domain then the GeForce GTX 1070 is a rather future proof product with that proper 8 GB graphics memory. We have not been disappointed about overall performance, sure it is slower compared to the GeForce GTX 1080, but it's just priced so much better. The board partners will ooze out factory tweaked products that might run 10~20% faster, and that's where things get even better of course. The Founders Edition itself then, it's a great card that rocks hard and does so while hardly making any noise and stays at OK temperatures. You will be hovering at that familiar 80 degrees C under heavy load though. Armed with some new features like SMP (Simultaneous Multi-Projection) the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 is a great graphics card that will have no problem rendering away hard in the toughest PC games with grand image quality settings. For display output options you are covered for years to come as well. Price wise of course I said enough. Wrapping things up, the GeForce GTX 1070 is going to be a terrific choice for the ones that game in the the 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 resolution domain. The 1070 series will not have the extra bite that its big brother the 1080 offers but, with such a price difference, value for money wise this card is going to be the no-brainer. I am talking about board partner cards though as the 449 for the founders editions remains steep. Overall we think that the 1070 is looking good from all viewpoints, it is a little beast with a growl and bite for the Full HD and WQHD gamers combined with the proper image quality settings and a graphics memory reserve to even go a little crazy. Highly recommended and we cannot wait to see what the board partners will release!

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition Preview

The Bottom Line

The GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition takes $650 video card performance and shifts it down to the $379-$449 price range. The GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition provides GeForce GTX 980 Ti and Radeon R9 Fury X gaming performance to people who could never afford that kind of performance before. The fact that this video card is only pushing towards 250W of system power while giving us the kind of performance that use to come from video cards demanding 100+ more watts, is impressive. It is able to deliver an enthusiast top-end experience with low-midrange power requirements.

At $379-$449 NVIDIA has created a highly compelling video card for the masses looking for the best gameplay experience, but a price that won't put them out on the street. With the gameplay performance we have experienced in this preview the GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition is likely to go down as a major value in terms of balance of performance, features, power efficiency and pricing.

Review: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (16nm Pascal)

The GeForce GTX 1070 is the Pascal-based graphics card that will appeal to most enthusiast gamers. The second-rung card, described in a non-pejorative sense, almost always provides more bang for your buck than the lead silicon of a particular architecture.

Our benchmarks show the GTX 1070 to produce around 80 per cent of the performance of the champion GPU, or expressed a different way, the same sort of speed associated with a bone-stock GeForce GTX 980 Ti - all wrapped up in a package with a mainstream 150W TDP that's rife for presentation in a smaller form factor.

This iteration of Pascal shows its performance chops by being 50-75 per cent faster than the ever-popular GeForce GTX 970. In real-world terms this means superlative performance at 2,560x1,440 and passable frame rates at 4K... with the image-quality dial turned up to 11.

The Founders Edition card, based on the same reference PCB and cooler as the GTX 1080, will be available to purchase from June 10 at $449 (?399), thereby undercutting a slew of GTX 980 Ti cards still in the channel. Of more interest is what Nvidia's AICs do with it, especially at the keener $379 (?320) price point.

You're effectively getting the graphics performance akin to the best of the last generation in a new GPU that sips on considerably less power and arrives at retail armed with more competitive pricing. Nvidia's Pascal salvo has sewn-up the premium end of the market for the time being.

Right now, the sensible purchaser looking for a quality gaming system should opt for the GeForce GTX 1070 over the GTX 1080, due to its better bang for your buck, though a clearer picture of exactly where this new card sits in the premium graphics arena will only emerge once AMD has had its say with upcoming Polaris. Interesting times.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Review: High-Performance, Midrange Price

Like last-generation’s GeForce GTX 970, we suspect the GeForce GTX 1070 is going to sell like hotcakes. The Founder’s Edition card we showed you here has an MSRP of $449, but pricing on custom cards from NVIDIA’s partners will start at only $379. Assuming partner boards achieve similar performance levels – which they should – the GeForce GTX 1070 represents a good value at the high-end of the GPU market. For $379 - $449 you get a graphics card that’s as fast or faster than a Titan X, that’s also overclockable, relatively power friendly, quiet, and well suited to VR applications. NVIDIA hit all of the right notes with the GeForce GTX 1070.

We won’t know for sure what street prices are going to look like until the cards actually arrive on store shelves around June 10, but when they do hit, the 1070 is going to put some serious price pressure on AMD -- The Fury X and Nano are both more expensive than the 1070, at least for now. Then again, details regarding AMD’s upcoming Polaris-based cards is due to hit soon as well, which could change the GPU landscape yet again. There's lots of movement in PC enthusiast space at the moment.

At this stage of the game though, NVIDIA is in a strong position. The GeForce GTX 1080 currently sits alone at the ultra high-end of the GPU space and the GeForce GTX 1070 is undeniably the best choice in its price bracket. We’re looking forward to seeing what NVIDIA’s partners do with this one...

GeForce GTX 1070 performance preview: goodbye, 980 Ti

So what do you buy for your next GPU? Our advice is that it's usually best to plan on skipping a generation, unless you simply have to have the best possible hardware. If you want the best, that's easy: get the GTX 1080, or two of them. You could try three or four as well, but with the requirement that you unlock them for 3-way/4-way SLI and Nvidia's public recommendation against doing more than 2-way—not to mention DX12 and Vulkan putting much of the multi-GPU support requirement on the developers rather than drivers—and we would be very cautious about taking that approach. (AMD incidentally is also downplaying CrossFire with their RX cards, though 2-way is still apparently fine.) But what if you don't always demand on having the best?

Those running a GTX 970, R9 290, or anything above that should still be fine in nearly all games, particularly at 1080p Ultra. If you want to drop to 1080p High, even more cards become viable—R9 280 (HD 7950) and GTX 770 are still hanging on. But if you're sporting GTX 760 or R7 level hardware (or below) and you're hoping to upgrade to a new GPU, June or July should be a prime time to do so. The GTX 1070 is an amazingly powerful card, and at $380 it represents an awesome value; at $450, it's not quite so enticing, but it's still a great card. AMD's current best cards in terms of value are the R9 380X and R9 380, so having the RX 480/470 replace those with more performance at a lower price will be good, but again it's mostly going to be for users of older cards.

Really, the best advice I can give is this: Don't get caught up in the graphics card hype. Faster is cool, but unless your current system is actually causing you problems—as in, it won't run the games you want to play at acceptable levels of quality and performance—just keep using it until you reach the point where it's no longer adequate. For some, they may want 60+ fps at 1440p Ultra quality; others are happy with 1080p Medium at 30+ fps. But until you feel your system is too slow, there's no need to upgrade to something faster. Unless you want to.

The GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Founders Edition Review

Many of our readers were waiting on the results from GeForce GTX 1070 testing to decide which new NVIDIA product was going to be best for them. The GTX 1070 is more than $200 less expensive, if you are using the MSRP prices, and that is a significant amount that you could use to invest in your display, processor, storage or maybe an HTC Vive. In my experience with the new card, it is more than capable of running your 1080p or 2560x1440 display without a problem but for gamers serious about the move to 4K, the GTX 1080 performance advantage is likely going to be worth the cash. For everyone else, the GTX 1070 looks like the card to get, balancing performance, cost, power and features unlike any graphics card before it!

Availability questions for both the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 still keep me up at night; it’s only useful for me as a reviewer to recommend products, and at a specific price point, if you can actually get them at the time promised and for the price promised. If NVIDIA has shortages or resellers jack up prices like they did with the initial batches of G-Sync displays, then our opinions and suggestions can be modified.

We still have some questions of course, including the pending release of AMD’s Polaris architecture. It’s believed that they will target cards for $299 and under, which MIGHT make the comparison of Polaris 10 to the GTX 1070 unbalanced. But, it’s possible that AMD and the Radeon Technologies Group have a magical rabbit in a hat to pull out in June, and could undercut NVIDIA’s Pascal release with better performance and/or value. But are you willing to wait and find out? For gamers that want to game NOW and want to have an amazing experience doing so, the GeForce GTX 1070 is the card to buy.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Pascal Performance Review

Missing out on power consumption, operating temperatures and noise due to the constraints of Computex leaves us with an incomplete picture of GeForce GTX 1070, though we can certainly make some assumptions.

After all, we’re looking at the same GP104 processor with one-quarter of its resources disabled. That fact, along with Nvidia’s chosen clock rates, result in a 30W-lower TDP. The Founders Edition reference card does come equipped with a less capable thermal solution, unfortuantely. However, it maintains a consistent industrial design and radial fan (which, again, we prefer for its ability to exhaust heated air from your chassis). When our German team runs the GTX 1070 through their battery of tests, we do hope to see temperatures that are more conservative than those of the GTX 1080, though it remains to be seen if GPU Boost stays active for any longer.

That’s all background detail, though. Today’s benchmark results tell us all we need to know about how GeForce GTX 1070 fits into the gaming graphics market.

The short of it is that, in every test we ran, GeForce GTX 1070 is as fast as, or faster than the $1100+ GeForce GTX Titan X. It’s not always quick enough to beat AMD’s Radeon R9 Fury X, or even the vanilla Fury. But in those cases, Nvidia’s previous-gen cards lose by an even larger margin. And it’s hard to call the 1070’s losses meaningful at all. It’s imperceptibly slower than the Fury in Ashes of the Singularity and Hitman at 2560x1440 and 3840x2160. It’s imperceptibly faster than both Fiji-based cards in The Witcher 3 and The Division at 3840x2160. But everywhere else the 1070 enjoys an undeniable advantage.

Reviewers showing GTX 1070 how come under perform on GTX 980ti and titian X

1) Tech report
2) Hexus (certain game GTX 1070 out perform, but mostly are under)
3) guru3d (higher res makes GTX 1070 under perform for certain titles.)

I wonder what they did, or is there some hidden(underhand method) stuff that we dunno if the rest of the reviews are doing.
