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:

Founder Edition will be 500+ for sure. AIB's around there. Maybe some XFX with crappy coolers for less.

If anything is true about the gpu inside that upcoming ps4 it should actually have more tflop performance then stock 970. So all in all that piece of machine should very well perform better then a computer with 970.
36cu amd gpu @ 911mhz would be roughly 4.2 tflops and even overclocked 970 @ 1500 is just nearing 5tflops.
More performance is nice. So they gonna raise the cap to 60fps?
Damn i bet those peasants gonna complain about lacking cinematic experience..
Or... they gonna enjoy 4k at 30fps. Holy **** 4 times bigger cinematic experience.. Peasants dream!

IVe got bit hopes for this one, but it all depends on the price. I wish it was something like £300-350

*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?
Hmmmm ... aren't AMD doing exactly the same thing? There's not been a massive difference in pricing structures for either company, since AMD is currently relatively on the brink why aren't they smashing Nvidia to pieces with a "High end" card priced well.
Whilst price gouging is obviously playing a part, this really indicates to me that the costs of development has relatively risen and unless some new technology comes along, we're never going to see old school pricing ever again.

can't agree more if you think the product is over priced satisfied with your 970 skip this gen.
I'm more and more convinced of keeping my 980Ti until an actual performance jump, possibly until HBM2 product is there, specially i' still gaming 1080p, don ask
maybe i'lll get another used 980Ti and finally upgrade to UHD, again performace to $ sounds more of a wise choice so far
