NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Boost Clock is 1683 MHz

Though I actually already added these numbers into our 1080 review yesterday, apparently today it is news. Nvidia posted specs and these now include clock frequencies as well. The 8GB GDDR5 memory will run at an effective clock frequency of 8000 MHz.



The GeForce GTX 1070 has the same GP104 GPU housed on it's PCB as the 1080, however it'll be cut-down GPU with stripped away segments, it has 1920 shader processors. This means it is has 15 out of the 20 SMs active (15 streaming multi-processors x 128 shader cores). The memory is clocked at 2000 MHz actual which is 8 GHz (GDDR5-effective) at a memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s. Single-precision floating point performance at 6.45 TFLOP/s. The card will start at 379 USD with the founders edition (reference card) costing 449 USD. Below an overview of the specifications:

GeForce GTX 1070

  • 16 nm GP104 silicon "GP104-200-A1" GPU
  • 1920 CUDA cores
  • 15 out of 20 streaming multiprocessors enabled
  • 120 TMUs
  • 64 ROPs
  • 256-bit GDDR5 memory, 8 GB standard memory amount
  • Maximum GPU Boost frequency ~1600 MHz
  • 6.45 TFLOP/s single-precision floating point performance
  • 150W TDP, single 8-pin PCIe power connector
  • 3x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x HDMI 2.0b
  • 2-way SLI with SLI HB bridge support
A substantial difference with the 1080 is not the reduced GPU, this model will have your 'normal' GDDR5 memory and not GDDR5X. Despite all that it's effective data rate is 8 Gbps, we expect this card to be a true hit.
