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:

Nice. I have paid over $400 for my r9 290 card. I was kind of bummed out when the 970 came out because of what the card was capable of doing for a cheaper price. I hope by getting a 1070 instead of an AMD card that I have learned from my previous experience.

Within 1 year HBM will be so over produced that even the low end cards will have a minimum 8gb of it. GDDR5/5X will be a thing of the past. In a few years from now memory bandwidth/capacity won't be something we even worry about.
I'd bet if i came back here in 2 years from now then most here will have a card utilizing HBM.
Anyone with a high end Maxwell card and using a low res like 1080p should be fine until Volta. Of course including myself would love a 1440p monitor, especially a 144hz one let alone having a 4k one.
I'm not sure 1070 is there yet for 4k but i'd hope Volta could finally get us decent fps @4k while having a high to ultra settings in games.
btw if you love computer tech/hw and your hobby is building and playing with computers and components you should of realized by now that we unfortunately have a situation where if you want the fps then we are going to pay a high price if we want to keep up with the pace. Gone are the days were a high end system lasted 4+years. 2 years now and tech already lags behind.
The problem is that they aren't even gonna settle for 4k or even 8k so the push for ever higher resolutions will continue and TV companies can sell more TVs/monitors but they have to wait because GPUs/Internet is holding them back.

Does someone know, when will be reviewers supply by 1070 cards and when review NDA will expire?
Because you know, Geforce 1080 launch is 27th and reviews were available on 17th, 1070 launch is 10th June, so review should be available around 1th - theoretically speaking..

No way,
I'm on 980 SLI and running low on Vram at 144hz Gync @ 1440p.
Division, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, Even DOOM runs close at times.
Evolve tops off, even though nobody plays that anymore....I still have fun with SP bots.
Although I agree with the 1070 being a good price considering as you said. 500-600 for the Radeon 9800 pro in the past.

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
I'm on the same "sensible" thinking. I'm sticking with my 980ti as well as believe it or not, I recently downgraded my setup to go back to 1080P gaming. 4K was fun and so was 21:9 ultrawide but since I game less on PC lately, I decided to just downgrade and to be honest, 4K is and will always be IMO, OVERKILL. 1440P is reasonable but I just use DSR on my Asus VG248QE if playing some older games and other well optimized games like Doom. On Rise of the Tomb Raider, I stay on 1080P with DX12 and everything else maxed.
