Geforce gtx 1070 first reviews

Finally we have among us the first reviews of the GeForce GTX 1070 that promises to keep all the benefits of Pascal GP104 silicon at a much more competitive price than the GTX 1080 that has shown itself as the absolute queen of performance.

We would have liked to give our first impressions, but by not receiving any samples from Nvidia, we can only offer results from outsiders. Which confirms that we are not the perfect green-eyed blonde with curves for Nvidia. Although the most important part of this article: Will it live up to expectations and what the Nvidia CEO said a few weeks ago?

GeForce GTX 1070 technical characteristics

The GeForce GTX 1070 uses a trimmed variant of the Pascal GP104 GPU with a total of 1, 920 CUDA cores, 120 TMUs and the same 64 ROPs as its older sister although the latter is unconfirmed. This GPU will operate at a maximum frequency of 1.6 GHz and offers a theoretical maximum power of 6.75 TFLOPs. The GPU is accompanied by 8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256- bit interface and a bandwidth of 256 GB / s. All this with a reduced TDP of 150W, so Pascal once again boasts a formidable energy efficiency.

The GeForce GTX 1070 is powered only by an 8-pin connector and offers video outputs in the form of 3x DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0B, and Dual-DVI to handle up to 5 displays.

GeForce GTX 1070 benchmarks and consumption

To analyze the performance of the GeForce GTX 1070 several very demanding games have been taken at screen resolutions of Full HD, 2K and 4K to see how the new creation of Nvidia behaves. The consumption of the entire team has also been measured in order to compare it with its rivals and analyze the degree of energy efficiency of its Pascal architecture.

As we can see the GeForce GTX 1070 is shown in many cases as the second most powerful card with a performance that even exceeds the GeForce TITAN X with its powerful GM200 GPU and 12 GB of video memory. In some cases the Nvidia card is surpassed by the TITAN X and some other very high-end cards such as the GTX 980Ti or the Radeon Fury. However, remember that the GeForce GTX 1070 is expected with a price of less than 500 euros, so we are facing a really surprising and excellent card.

We now turn to see the GeForce GTX 1070 overclock and see how its Pascal GP104 core is capable of reaching 2 GHz without disheveled and maintaining a temperature of only 57ºC. Excellent!

conclusion

The GeForce GTX 1070 is the most anticipated graphics card of the moment and it is not without reason. Its older sister, the GeForce GTX 1080, has already amazed us with its impressive performance and great energy efficiency. The GeForce GTX 1070 is based on the same Pascal architecture slightly cut so it was expected that its performance was up to the task and after these first benchmarks we got a great impression.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Teaser for the Zotac GeForce GTX 1080Ti

The GeForce GTX 1070 offers us a performance on par or even slightly superior to the most powerful cards of the previous generation, as if that were not enough it does it with a very moderate power consumption and with an excellent operating temperature, not in vain It is capable of reaching 2 GHz air-cooled and staying below 58ºC.

If you are looking for a high performance, moderate price and very tight power consumption video card, the GTX 1070 is your choice. The GeForce GTX 1070 is expected to arrive for an approximate price of 450 euros in its Founders Edition version and for a price lower than 400 euros for the models customized by the assemblers.
