GALAX To Release a Single-slot GeForce GTX 1070 - DDR4 Memory and M2 SSD

GALAX To Release a Single-slot GeForce GTX 1070 - DDR4 Memory and M2 SSD

Hey this is interesting, some people really prefer single slot high-end cards over dual-slot ones, yet you have to face the fact they will be noisy as heck though. GALAX however is prepping a single slot wide cooled GeForce GTX 1070.

As Xfastest reports, GALAX at their yearly GEC/GOX 2016 event showed a number of new graphics cards. They mostly are intended for the ASIA market, but among them was the single-slot GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. Now here's the thing, I am not sure this is a GTX 1070 ? XFastest captions it that way but it could very well be a 1070. Let's presume the latter one. The card looks great though in that slim single slot design. Some copper fins are visible so that should help with cooling. If we are ever going to see this card launched I do not know, but hey until then, you can look at the pretty pictures.

GALAX will also introduce some M2 SSD series based on a Phison PS5008 controller and what looks to be Toshiba FLASH NAND. Also they are showing a PCI-Express based SSD, but they have been showing this stuff for years now without any proper retail availability. GALAX is also to relase a Gamer line of DDR4 memory, pics included. 

Updated with some added pconline photos.

Seems like single-slot GPUs are making a comeback. About time...

With such wording initially I got an impression that this 1070 will ship with DDR4 memory (apparently installen on card)... and an M2 SSD as well. Confusing

I got the exact same impression.

I was thinking "OK, why would they put CPU-oriented RAM on a GPU. And how the hell were they able to fit an SSD on the card as well and still have it only take up a single slot?

Gotta admit, that would make an impressive gaming card, though. All they need to do is add a SoundBlaster and ethernet to it and its a whoel gaming machine.

I agree, I thought they are doing the same thing as AMD, releasing a card with an integrated SSD.

Title should say:

"Galax releasing 3 new products: A single slot 1070, PCI-e m2 SSD and new DDR4 memory."

(or something similar)

No need for Soundblaster when you've got HDMI/DP audio. What it needs instead are input controls, and then you've got enough hardware for a gaming machine.


It's an interesting thought though - these days, GPUs are easily the most important part of gaming rigs. We're slowly reaching a point where just about everything the CPU does could (in theory) be replaced by the GPU and the game would still play just fine. I figure any time a process is performed less efficiently on the GPU would be completely overshadowed by the efficiency increase of doing everything on one chip.

Vulkan, DX12, and these on-board SSDs are a potential step forward in eliminating the need for CPUs in games. Perhaps one day GPUs will do 99% of the work, where the only purpose of the CPU is to handle basic peripherals, such as input devices, speakers, networking, the OS, and storage of game data. But otherwise, the CPU wouldn't do anything in-game. Kind of interesting to think about, since around 20 years ago, a GPU was nothing more than just an output device that slightly reduced CPU load.
