According to the the official news it seems that the GTX 1070 and will be more powerful than the Titan X, have 8GB GDDR5 and cost $379! To me this fills the same general price point as the GTX 970 while offering an amazing amount of performance.
Ive been sitting on my GTX 660ti waiting for an nvidia card that offers a real boost at the same price point and the GTX 970 just wasnt a big enough jump for me but this I will likely get. Kinda bummed its not HBM/HBM2 but I figure get one when they come out and a second a year or 2 latter and I could run everything pretty well on my tri 1080p monitors. In a few more years when prices on 4k monitors come down and Nvidia has HBM2 or better standard by then the cards will be handling 4k like cards handle 1080p now and ill upgrade monitors and cards.
Hopefully they will have the 1070's with the reference cooling readily available and not price hiked like current GTX cards. Interested to see what vendors come out with too in regards to cooling or if they just stick to similar designs they have been using.
If the GTX 1070 overclocks well I may even get a Swiftech H320 X2 and cool the card too, presuming blocks arent scarce.
So who else is excited about the GTX 1070 more so than the GTX 1080? I wonder if they will have a card between the price points, as $379 to $599 seems like a big jump. Maybe a GTX 1075/1070ti down the road at about $475-$500?
