ASUS Intros GeForce GTX 1070 Turbo
ASUS introduced the GeForce GTX 1070 Turbo graphics card (model: TURBO-GTX1070-8G). Based on essentially the same product design as the GTX 1080 Turbo launched earlier this month, this card could be the company's most affordable GTX 1070 offering, priced close to the $379 baseline price NVIDIA set for this SKU. It features a lateral cooling solution strapped onto a custom-design PCB by ASUS, which draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. The card sticks to NVIDIA reference clock speeds of 1503 MHz core, 1683 MHz GPU Boost, and 8.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. Among its unique features include a 4-pin PWN case-fan header, which lets you sync a fan to the card's temperature, controllable via the included software.

News is that the high OC speeds keep crashing and this is why Asus cannot create STRIX OC and have it available.
Guess they now will dump them as Turbo... #fail.
Nvidia gets its standard payment per unit. They've made a suggested retail price (MSRP), which every manufacturer appears to have disregarded.
What we have are greedy manufacturers right now, charging way more than the cards are worth. Yes, the starting point is higher, because NVIDIA issued a high MSRP. However, it is only a suggested price, and card manufacturers would have been free to ignore it, either lower, or (in this case) considerably higher.
Least with cards like this one if you want to water block a card these are ideal!
Given you can get the 980 Turbo for like $360 -AR$30, being such a 1070 that's 25% improved that will perhaps list say $410, it works decent pricing wise.
ON the bright side the 980Ti's must be tumbling seeing as none of these cards r around to be had.
Asbestos is the Best!!!
Ford Pinto.... where the price of fixing is more than a few peon deaths....
Also Capitalism. Your comment adds nothing, other than to reinforce a blind brand loyalty. But thanks for letting me know.
