Both cards enjoy the same bandwidth reduction, preemption, and memory compression techniques that Pascal brings to the table, which makes it Nvidia’s most efficient architecture to date. Specsīased off of GP104, the GTX 1070 carries a lot of similarities to the GTX 1080. You can read more about these features in my GeForce GTX 1080 review. This includes graphical bells and whistles such as Ansel, VRWorks Audio, Simultaneous Multi-Projection, HDR, Fast Sync, and GPU Boost 3.0. Featuresīecause the GTX 1070 is based off of Nvidia’s Pascal micro-architecture, it supports the same GPU features that were introduced with the GTX 1080. Like the GTX 1080, the 1070 features three DisplayPort connectors, one HDMI port, and one dual-link DVI port. In terms of temperatures, the 1070 carries a 94 degree Celsius thermal threshold. It’s not a major issue, but I didn’t hear it with the GTX 1080. One small issue I noticed while testing my particular unit is that its fan produces a slight, almost rattle-like noise under load. This means you get the same angular die-cast aluminum enclosure, radial blower fan which exhausts heat outside chassis (which is good for compact Mini-ITX systems), three copper heatpipes for cooling, and a low-profile removable backplate. The GTX 1070 uses the same 4.3x10.5-inch chassis as its more expensive GTX 1080 brother.
Rather, Nvidia says the price premium for the Founders Edition is merely for the high-quality materials and design craftsmanship.
The added cost won’t get you a higher-quality binned GPU that will overclock better, which is what many were thinking. While you’ll see the GTX 1070 start out at $379, Nvidia once again sent me its more expensive Founders Edition version of the card, which costs $449.
