NVIDIA has outdone themselves with the new GTX 1080 and now EVGA just teased their new GTX 1070 graphics card with their ACX 3.0 cooling solution for more overclocking headroom.
While the GTX 1080 seems to be at the very top of the video card chain, not everyone will be able to afford the price tag. For others, the GTX 1070 will give the best bang for their buck.
What made the PC gamers shiver is the significantly cheaper price and value ratio the new Pascal architecture from NVIDIA provides. Both cards beat the $1000 GTX Titan X that was once held the crown for several years.
NVIDIA's GTX 1070 costs roughly $380 and $450 for the hyped up Founder's Edition. That is more than half the price off of the GTX Titan X with a small boost in performance.
The high-end graphics card features 1920 CUDA cores which is just a few hundred short of the 1080's 2560. It also has 1506MHz for the core clock frequency and plays well with 8GB GDDR5 at astonishing speeds of 8Gbps.
Benchmarking results showed that the NVIDIA GTX 1070 did well as it ran most of the latest games at an average of 60 frames per second, Kotaku reported. What is more amazing is that the benchmarks were run at a resolution of 2560 x 1440 which means they will pump out more frames for those still stuck with 1080p screens.
NVIDIA's GTX 1080 will be the go-to card for 4K gaming but there are still a number of people hoping to buy 2K screens for their gaming rig. AMD has not yet even managed to reveal a high-end card using their new Polaris architecture.
EVGA has showed photos of their new GTX 1070 Superclocked Gaming card which will obviously be factory overclocked, TechFrag has learned. The card would then be slightly more powerful than the reference cards and with more overclocking headroom.
The new graphics card was displayed at the recent Computex 2016 event. It features a single 8-pin connector because of the lower power pull the Pascal architecture requires.
Unfortunately, there has been no official statement regarding the price tag. NVIDIA is set to roll out the GTX 1070 on June 10 and EVGA could follow suit with their SC card that can cost no more than $400.
