You know what though?
Something wrong with a supposedly mid-range 1070 card with less then 2000 cuda cores when the higher end stuff starting in the mid 2000 cuda range. And the enthusiast range in the 3000 cuda core range. How can 1070, which is supposed to be what 3rd best card have 1920 cuda cores less then the top end? That is a grand canyon gulf of a gap there!
Something wrong with that. Something way wrong with that. That 1070 was never a real 1070 in my eyes. More like a 1060 or something. Straight up. Even if there is no competition, folk gotta see that. Don't they label that on the box?
Edit:
This supposedly 1070ti is more inline for what a 1070 should have been to me. What more needs to be said?
Problem is that 1080 (@2560CC)ain't up to snuff either though. As it lags behind the 980TI (@2816CC) in cuda cores. If anything, from an arch. standpoint the 1080 should have been superior to the 980ti going from an old gen to a newer one. IMO.

dat formatting tho
I'm following the cuda core to fill rate to get a better pic of how these skus come to light. To me, the raw deal comes in the 1070. This new 1070ti may in fact be from better binned chips but I believe that 1080 is the true 1070TI. As it still falls behind the 980ti in cuda core count 2816. The true 1080 should have been just north of the 2816 cuda core count. Be it 3072 or something else. You really don't need a X or XP variant and just go directly to the 1080TI.
Drivers will play a factor in all this. But I find it hard to believe that drivers for what is to be called a 1080 is on par/in the ball part with a 980ti but that's what folk believe.
