Product Showcase

  

The GeForce GTX 1070 takes advantage of Nvidia's Pascal GPU GP104 based on 16 nm FinFet architecture, and with 7.2 billion transistors, 1,920 shader/stream cores, and 8 GB of GDDR5, it’s remains a fast product compared to the 1080.
  

The GPU empowering the product is called the GP104-200 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has 1,920 CUDA Cores, while texture filtering is performed by 120 texture units. The reference/founder cards have a base clock frequency of 1,506 MHz where MSI clocks the base frequency higher at 1,531 MHz (default). Another difference of course is the use of GDDR5 memory over GDDR5X memory on the 1080. Despite the small tweak, this card WILL be faster as it doesn't throttle on the GPU, this small cooler keeps the card well below 70 Degrees C.

The card has a 160 Watt rated TDP, 75-150 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, then 150 Watts through the single 8-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connector and another 75 Watts though the extra 6-pin connector. So yes, you'll have spare for a nice overclock. The GeForce GTX series 1000 display engine is capable of supporting the latest high resolution displays, including 4K and 5K screens. And with HDMI 2.0 support, the GeForce GTX 1070 can be used by gamers who want to game on the newest state-of-the-art big screen TVs.
