GeForce GTX 1070 3DMark FireStrike Benchmarks Surface
3DMark FireStrike benchmarks have surfaced, showing the GeForce GTX 1070 being roughly 5% perfaster then a GTX 980 Ti.
The GTX 1080 would be roughly 24% faster compared to that GeForce GTX 1070. Though official benchmarks of the GeForce GTX 1070 are still lacking, Videocardz.com located and leaked some results. With the data some tables have been assembled to compare back and forth with other graphics cards. The table below is of their courtesy.

---|---|---|---|---|
3DMark FireStrike | Performance 1080p | Extreme 1440p | Ultra 2160p | AVERAGE |
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 | 124% | 124% | 123% | 124% |
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X | 99% | 96% | 95% | 97% |
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti | 97% | 93% | 95% | 95% |
AMD Radeon R9 Fury X | 93% | 95% | 97% | 95% |
AMD Radeon R9 Fury | 83% | 85% | 91% | 86% |
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 | 75% | 73% | 73% | 73% |
AMD Radeon R9 390X | 74% | 67% | 68% | 70% |
AMD Radeon R9 390 | 64% | 62% | 62% | 63% |
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 | 64% | 59% | 50% | 58% |
Looking at the core clock frequency it is unclear if this card was overclocked or not. The GTX 1070 seems to perform approximately equal to the GTX 980 Ti. In 3DMark the new video card about five percent faster. The GTX 1070 is a two times faster than a GTX 970, all based on 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark results of course. The results in games will likely deviate from that.

if those numbers are accurate (and reflected in real world games) and hopefully prices stay ~AUD$550 then i can see it being my next card

Here's my estimated numbers for 2 games based on Nvidia's site for GTX1070 at 1080P http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1070;
Tomb Raider;
GTX1080 = 131
GTX1070 = 116
Titan X = 106
GTX980Ti= 104
The Witcher 3;
GTX1080 = 105
GTX1070 = 85
Titan X = 82
GTX980Ti= 76
Let's see how close I got!

This launch has been so very unexciting :| this is just such a dull upgrade over the previous generation.
These new cards even look like they're already starved for memory bandwidth at 2560x1440, I'm not going to be buying a card that's this expensive only to have it run out of steam in a year :| rather just stick with what I have.
Wonder what AMD are bringing to the table... probably not anything exciting either. Everyone playing it safe, even the ones who need to take risks.

Twice as fast as previous gen is a "dull upgrade"? I can think of no other card that was twice as fast as previous gen since possibly the 8800gtx. At 1440p it pulls further ahead of the TitanX than at 1080p! My god, how people process such information to reach such ridiculous conclusions I will never know.

If these results are true it will make the 1070 a very nice card.
If it is priced the same as a GTX 970 it will sell well as the 980ti is awesome at 1080p and I figure that's is what the GTX1070 will be used for.
