GALAX GeForce GTX 1070 Box Photo and Renders Surface
A new photo of the GALAX GeForce GTX 1070 Boxing surfaced on the web. That alongside some renders. The GP104 based graphics card doesn't reveal much on its boxing other then the product code.
You can also check out some renders of the GeForce GTX 1070 PCB from GALAX. This could very well be NVIDIA's reference PCB design of GTX 1070. It looks rather similar to GTX 1080 PCB and will be equipped with GDDR5 memory. The GeForce GTX 1070 goes on sale from June 10, 2016.
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:

The 9800 Pro was a high end card. The 1070 isn't. Huge difference. That was most of the point of what I was saying. A 1070 at $500 is like paying that much for a Radeon 9600 in 2003. The price isn't the problem, what we're getting for the price is; their 4th card down the line with a deceptive name.
While we're playing the pricing game, I paid less than $400 CAD ($350?... don't remember) for a GTX 280 months before the GTX 285 was available. The 280 was the full blown chip, no cuts, not a lower architecture, nothing. The 285 was just a higher binned version in the future that managed higher stock clocks. There was no 280 Ti or Titan, the 280/285 were near identical and the highest end cards available; no naming agenda/scheme to try to pass a lower card as the high end.
It's not that easy for me to skip a generation considering my monitor res is 1440p. Though I'm going to do it anyway. If I have to drop to 30 fps and make my eyes bleed or play on a console then so be it.
*Shrug* Well enjoy paying higher prices every generation then. The fact that people are okay with nVidia gradually selling lesser and lesser cards as the "high end" for constantly increasing prices is why they can get away with it. If they saw even a 20% drop in sales do you think they'd continue?
