Product Showcase
The GeForce GTX 1070 takes advantage of Pascal 16 nm FinFet architecture, and with 7.2 billion transistors, 1920 shader/stream cores, and 8 GB of GDDR5, it’s a rather nice product and decent succesor to the GeForce GTX 970. It'll be as roughly fast or faster compared to the 980 Ti!
The GPU empowering the product is called the GP104-200 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has a nice 1,920 CUDA Cores, while texture filtering is performed by 120 texture units. It has a base clock frequency of 1,506 MHz and performs texture filtering at roughly 198 Gigatexels/sec.
The card has a 150 Watt TDP, 75-150 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, then 150 Watts through the single 8-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connector. You'll still have some spare left for a nice overclock. Both the GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 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 1080 can be used by gamers who want to game on the newest state-of-the-art big screen TVs.
