Sorta tempted but I would like HBM memory instead of GDDR5.... $379 for a 1070 though is hella tempting

I guess I don't really need it at the resolution of the Vive/my monitors and having a 980Ti, but damn I want it, lol.

Is this a first for graphic cards having different skus for an overclockable model?

Is there a reasonable comparo between the 970/980 and 1070? Will it be worth it just to grab the 1070 or stick with the savings and get a steal on the 970 or 980?

You might be able to find a steal on craigs or reddits hardware swap for a used 970/980 after release but I've never had luck with graphics cards going on clearance in a retail/online store.

They said the 1070 is gonna also be faster than a Titan X. I'm returning my 970!

Edit: will places be taking pre orders?

the 1070 looks like it'll be around 30-50% faster than a 970. Considering its $349 MSRP, it feels like a no brainer to wait for that now. The only issue is the release date (june 10th) and how available it will be at release - the 970 at release was VERY difficult to order for a few months.

You probably could get a pretty good deal on a used 970 or 980 ti but meh I dunno if I'd want to deal with eBay and shipping and shit like that. Maybe if you can snag a 970 for like $150 but anything over $200 doesn't seem worth it given the hassles you could encounter.

We also don't know when they are going to release a 1080ti, which will improve the 1080 by 20-40% and be cheaper too, if history is any guide. We also know they are going to release a high end card that uses HBM (much, much faster memory) sometime in the next 12 months.

So penny pincher spronk, do I return my 970 I just bought and just gamble to try and find a 1070 at msrp?

definitely return, in a month if you can't find a 1070 you should be able to at least find clearanced out 980 ti's. a 970 is around 5k gflops, a 980ti is around 6k gflops and a 1070 is gonna be around 6.5k gflops - a 1080 will be 9k gflops. GFLOPs isn't a perfect measurement for real life gaming but gives you relative peak performance idea

Will be interesting to see actual benchmarks. 1080 twice more powerful than 980 in SLI is a bold claim when previous node shrinks did not produce anywhere near to close improvements in performance.

Either way no upgrading for me until end of the year at the earliest.

I'm confused because everywhere is listing it as ~9,000 GigaFLOPS. Wouldn't that make it 9 TeraFLOPS or are they all just retarded?

9000 is bigger than 9, and while a lot of people profess to have knowledge of hardware architecture and throughput, as well as rendering speeds et al, the vast majority are probably just going "hey it's new" and having 9000 sounds more impressive.

But if the actual numbers are on par with their marketing, that is a -massive- increase in overall gpu power within a generation.

So if I'm doing the math right a 1080 would be the equivalent of my 550ti * 14. Hmmm... maybe

So the 1070 is going to be slightly more powerful than the 980TI at half the price? That's pretty fucking impressive. I've been waiting for these to come out to upgrade for VR, that price is really amazing.

599$ for a 1080 sounds kinda... cheap? Did they give up on the idea of selling shit for 1k if it's the most powerful they have at the moment like the Titan nonsense?

Sounds like a good year to upgrade my PC.

You know that there is going to be a 1080 Ti down the road.

especially with how important having more and more VRAM is getting now, a 970 is definitely a card to get rid of. Or did they solve the >3.5gb VRAM usage stuttering through driver updates?
