NVIDIA's new GTX 1070 has been shown to beat the previously all-powerful GTX Titan X in 3DMark FireStrike benchmark results without even overclocking the card or an SLI setup.
The GTX Titan X is known for its massive 12GB VRAM and the capability to dish out solid framerates for 2K and 4K resolution. However, the now cheaper GTX 1070 beats the card without breaking a sweat and with less power consumption.
With lower power requirements, the new card will have more leeway for overclocking as less heat will be generated. It could even be possible that it can match the un-overclocked performance of the GTX 1080.
Another advantage of the GTX 1070 is that it is nearly three times cheaper at $379 compared to the GTX Titan X's $1000 launch price. It even beats the GTX 980 Ti which has been a standard video card for high-end gaming rigs.
NVIDIA has their new Pascal architecture to thank for the huge performance leaps in their new cards. The jump is considered to be two generations ahead of its predecessor.
The NVIDIA GTX 1070 scored about three percent more than the GTX Titan X and five percent more than the GTX 980 Ti, Videocardz has learned. All of the scores are from the stock clock frequencies of the cards.
There is also a nearly 50 percent improvement compared to the GTX 970 which is supposed to be its equivalent from the last generation. The card also beats the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X by five percent.
NVIDIA's GTX 1080 was just also 24 percent faster than the GTX 1070, TechRadar reported. Both of the cards have been recently unveiled by the company and they are also cheaper than the previous generation's high-end cards.
Fans are already waiting to buy the cards because of their price tag and lower power consumption. The third-party cooler cards will also be a hit considering that they will provide more room for overclocking.
NVIDIA is set to launch the GTX 1070 by June after the roll out of the GTX 1080 by the end of May. The GTX Titan X and GTX 980 Ti could see massive price slash downs.
