NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
NVIDIA's second Pascal card, launched June 10, 2016 at $379 with 1,920 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR5 across a 256-bit bus for 256GB/s of bandwidth. Boosting to 1,683MHz at 150W, it was positioned in review testing as a $1,000 Titan X alternative for well under half the price.
Pros
- 1,920 CUDA cores boosting to 1,683MHz, positioned in review testing as a $1,000 Titan X alternative
- 8GB of GDDR5 memory was generous for 2016-era games
- 150W TDP from a single 8-pin connector
- $379 launch price undercut NVIDIA's own Titan X by more than half
Cons
- No hardware ray tracing or Tensor cores; both arrived only with the RTX 20 series
- Founders Edition reference card cost $449, a $70 premium over the $379 partner-card MSRP
- 8GB of GDDR5 offers less bandwidth than the GTX 1080's GDDR5X (256GB/s vs 320GB/s)
