Today the GeForce GTX 1080 launched, but due to pricing most of you will probably wait for the GeForce GTX 1070. Specification info for that card have been tight as Nvidia has not uncovered final specs, until today it seems.
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 card will start at 379 USD with the founders edition (reference card) costing 449 USD. Below an overview of the specifications.
GeForce GTX 1070
- 16 nm GP104 silicon "GP104-200-A1" GPU
- 1920 CUDA cores
- 15 out of 20 streaming multiprocessors enabled
- 120 TMUs
- 64 ROPs
- 256-bit GDDR5 memory, 8 GB standard memory amount
- Maximum GPU Boost frequency ~1600 MHz
- 6.5 TFLOP/s single-precision floating point performance
- 150W TDP, single 8-pin PCIe power connector
- 3x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x HDMI 2.0b
- 2-way SLI with SLI HB bridge support
Another huge difference with the 1080 is not the reduced GPU, this model will have your 'normal' GDDR5 memory and not GDDR5X. Despite all that, we expect this card to be a true hit.
