Yeeeaaah they're listed now, for the same launch price as the 980, >€500. ;_; I can't really see a €200 price drop in the future, to match the 970.
well 980 for me (my Poseidon Platinum) was 626chf (650.14$/576.94€ ) so the 1070FE is a little under, but it's a good custom and i didn't pay for it ... so even 1$ for a 1070FE is a ripoff for me :roll: (joke)

I thought the 1070 FE would not have a vapor chamber like the 1080?
Ok,I took another look, the GTX 1070 does indeed use three heatpipes, while the 1080 uses vapo-chamber. There is just so little difference in terms of cooling performance that I assumed they were identical. The review has been updated. Nice catch!

Also reworded that analog VGA part, apparently a lot of people thought I'm complaining about lack of a VGA D-Sub connector, whereas I meant analog pins within the DVI connector

Well the DVi should be cleared for good to create some more heat exhaust openings and nice modern look. 4K, using DP here. If 1080Ti has any DVI not buying it.

Most consumer friendly monitors don't come with hdmi let alone a display port...

AMD RX480 has no more DVI, you should buy that, who wants 1080 Ti..

And that sucks. As mroofie says, a lot of monitors only have DVI and VGA, so you have to use adapters. I hate adapters.

Well I'll sacrifice my ego on the altar of legacy connectors this time, the presence of DVI that is. Hoping Gigabyte releases MiniITX 1070 version if that makes economic sense.

As for 970 SLI bad idea simply because 1070 could go for as low as 330$ in few months by the RX490 release.

sweet dream ... 330$ ... when it's already 580.55$ (for me and FE ... not custom) ... and RX490 ... let the promised 480 come and bench to go along (TPU one obviously ) before saying nv prices will drop ... for that price : you get a 2nd hand 1060 prolly :roll:

looking at the past history : no chance, the 980 and 980Ti and 970 didn't drop in price with the 390/390X, a contrario they did go up for me... if i didn't got lucky on the 980 i actually have i would either kept my 290 or gone the 390X route instead ...

Great review as always W1zzard :toast:. Card would be excellent if one could buy that with that $379 mrsp.

Sapphire rx480

http://videocardz.com/60992/sapphire-radeon-rx-480-nitro-pictured



CF rx480 > 1080 > 1070 ;)

16nm tsmc first gen on Pascal

14nm finfet Samsung 2nd gen on Polaris

Pascal is actually from TSMC's 2 gen 16nm process called ff+, while polaris will be first gen global foundries 14nm lpp. The transistor density advantage is slightly on amd's side. But if the clocks are really that low (1266MHz), I'm afraid amd might have chosen wrong process...

And read the review, CF rx480 will scale much like r9-295x2. If CF scaling is good it will be close or over the gtx1080 performance. But if it is bad performance will be close to single rx 480.

EDIT: That power consumption was most surprising 151W peak on gaming. If I may suggest: W1zzard should change that bluray something that could potentially be more taxing on today's graphic cards vpus, i.e. some 10bit 4k60Hz high bitrate hevc movie clip(or 4k netflix could do it).

Gotta wait a while longer for that to be well supported on all cards

It seems that this newgen cards (1080 & 1070), have less o/c potential than last gen (980Ti, 980, 970), from what i've seen on benchmarks.

Can you please add game settings for each game please.
The highest quality setting unless indicated otherwise doesn't say much to me.
Its good to compare cards between themselves, but it is not good to make an educated purchase decision.

For example I game in 1080p with AA off, in general on high, not ultra, so for me it would be a complete waste of money to go into 1070/1080 territory.
Sure you cannot cover all the possible settings, but it would be useful to show that even a 970 can get 60 FPS in all games, in full HD, if AA is not enabled for example. It will save many of us a lot of cash :)

There's this thing called HDMI-to-DVI cable, you know. They could even include an adapter with the card.
Everything legacy should become an option asap, imho.

Did you have to re-compute the summary charts? (Perf, perf/watt, perf/$)
Of course, the changes are probably smaller than 1%
