The higher recommended prices for the Geforce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 apply to Nvidia’s reference design Founder’s Edition. Models from partner manufacturers start at the lower price point.

First of all, it appears that the number of CUDA cores has been scaled down to 1,920 pieces – three quarters of a GTX 1080. This is accompanied by 1,506 MHz at base and 1,683 MHz at boost, giving a theoretical computing power of 6,463 GFLOPS or about 6 , 5 TFLOPS previously announced by Nvidia.

Another thing that distinguishes the GTX 1070 from the GTX 1080 is that instead of 8 GB GDDR5X it gets 8 GB GDDR5, but it will have a record frequency for the standard. With a clock frequency of 2,000 MHz (8,000 MHz efficient) and a 256-bit wide bus, the model gets a theoretical bandwidth of 256 GB / s.

In terms of performance, Nvidia has previously said that the Geforce GTX 1070 will be able to overtake the previous flagship GTX Titan X at a much lower price. Whether this is true remains to be seen, but according to Nvidia’s own figures, graphics cards perform about 70-80 percent better than a GTX 970. This can be compared to SweClocker’s performance index, where GTX Titan X depending on resolution is 54-67 percent above a GTX 970.
