Today our website has published a detailed review of the GeForce GTX 1080. According to testing, the new flagship NVIDIA was the fastest single-chip 3D accelerator for games. Thousandth in the line GeForce at architecture while Pascal presented two models. Junior turned clearly simpler. However, GeForce GTX 1070 claim to the national title, because at a relatively low price, according to the characteristics, has the performance level of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti (review) — single-chip flagship Maxwell.
So, the GeForce GTX 1070 is based on the GPU GP104, but has only 1920 CUDA cores. Part of the computational blocks are locked. The other parameters are easy to calculate. A stripped-down chip will get 1920/128=15 streaming multiprocessors, and, therefore, 120 texture units and 64 ROP. The frequency of the processor will be 1.6 GHz.
GeForce GTX 1070 and an 8 GB common memory standard GDDR5, operating at a frequency of 7000 MHz. Apparently, the novelty will be really “budget” version of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. The level of its energy consumption is only 150 watts, it has 100 W less.
