No, it's not that black and white.
Pricing characteristics have been fairly similar with 970, in the first three to four weeks after launch it actually bumped to 450 EURO, then in the months following leveled at 350~375 EURO and now can be spotted at 300 EURO.
Question versus demand, give it some time and prices will go down IF there is enough volume available, that however is the big question marker. Also IF AMD can out a competitive enough RX 480 product at 250 EURO, that will have an effect on 1070 pricing.
Thats not true.I buy GTX970 day1 after launch for 9400czk(330USD) and it was gigabyte G1 gaming..
1070 cheapest(FE edition) cost 13800czk(475USD) up to 16000czk(ASUS strix)
But i agree with AMD rx 480.But that dont change fact 1070 will not be hit if it will cost this insane money outside USA.

Had problems with the fans on my G1 970 think i'll be trying the msi gaming x this time. If i dont skip this gen all together.

It would have been nice to see some impressions of triple screen gaming and the new multi-camera feature SMP. Or isn't this available yet in drivers?

Justbordered onenof these awesome looking cards.
My last few cards ( 980, 780 ) have been reference cards. But when you can get a custom card with higher clocks for $50 less than the founders edition, I had to grab one.

I partly agree. it is definitely not black and white. Here GTX 1070 FE costs just a bit more than GTX 980.
That's clear win for GTX 1070. Custom editions cost bit more, but they deliver bit more, so it is OK too.
Only bad apple is one with hybrid cooling, that costs 20% more than FE.
But Headd is right that GTX 1070 can't be same sales maker as GTX 970.
That's caused by pricing. GTX 1070 FE (cheapest 1070) costs 70% more than GTX 970.
In other words it is way out of affordable price point for masses which were addressed by GTX 970 price.
Interesting thing here is upcoming market state. GTX 1070 delivers very good performance per $ in comparison to most of cards around. (Maybe discounted Fury - non X/Nano can attract few people, but that would be rare.)
GTX 1080 delivers better performance per $ too, not much, but does.
Then RX-480 if anywhere close to promised performance will have even more brutal effect on purchase decisions.
In a month, there would be no reason to buy other card than RX-480, GTX 1070 or GTX 1080.
And everything above or below from last generation will be generally bad buy unless discounted accordingly.
I wonder if AMD or nVidia manage to get those sub RX-480 GPUs out for next month. Or if there will be GPU between RX-480 and GTX 1070.
But currently it looks like there will be huge vacuum in certain price ranges. And people will have to make decision to either go for RX-480 which takes over GTX 970 price point or GTX 1070 which is painfully above spending budget for masses.
