From like 5:28 onward. They compare 1070/970/380x/1080/390x/TitanX, and not all of those all of the time.

 

At that point it was just a comparison of the 970, previous generation mid level card, vs the new mid level and the AMD mid level. The previous frames starting at 5:06 mark it shows the 4k with the 980.

So the fury is the only card that makes sense to buy now? Seeing as used they go for CHEAP.

And wait for OC results, SLOW In comparison to the performance gains on 980 Ti

(Actually 2088)

vs a OC'ed 980 Ti

And an air 980 TI.

Which cpu are they using, if it's a I5 or I7 etc?

 

 

 

[ChrisCross]

it is just way faster than i expected. with that power draw a mini itx pcb could be possible if they can manage to put all the ram together. looks like the r9 nano is in trouble when that happens.

im glad we got better performance per $ than ever before but im really worried about amd now.

You can get a R9 Fury for as little as $480 atm but you can also get a 380x for $180

 

based on their Hitman 4k slide, and by putting the fury right between the R9 390x and the Fury X with an average of 39.5 FPS, a Fury equivalent card (480x or 490) in Hitman 4k max settings + FXAA at a price of ~250$ be 

Fury($519): 13.13$/FPS 

R9 480x/490($250/300): $6.3/FPS Let's say it's 300$ that would still put it at $7.59/FPS

1070($449): $12.13/FPS

 

Obviously the 1070 might do better at 1080/1440p but there was no slides for those also displaying a 390 and Fury X

 

I think Dollar per FPS should be calculated by the hardest thing to run, 4k atm not where that particular GPU is comfortable.

can probably get one of those on the super cheap used or

 

Aww yeah.

What's up with the NCIX link? Broken or just some super secret insider SKU designation?

 

edit: whoops nm just a search link. ETA June 9 apparently. Kind of hilarious they will even let you put a special order in for a GTX 250. DX10 aw yea!

is It feasible to include Tomb Raider 2013 in the GPU benchmark set for it's remarkable - close to synthetic GPU scaling and consistency on all hardware?

This is actually very valid question ... There is this rule of thumb that i5 is OK with any and all games, if computer features single GPU. Ryan Shrout of PCPER mentioned in his review of 1070 that with such powerful cards, they are hitting bottleneck on i7 Haswell-E CPU with lower resolutions (1080p). This could potentially mean hat hitting 120 or 144 Hz on your shiny new monitor may be limited by CPU, actually. Is CPU power going to be relevant again?

They just need to make games better at multithreading.

Do you think I don't know that?

 

I was making a joke/ ugh!!!!

[DXMember]

OMG @Slick !!!!

You promised to always state the Core Clocks for GPU Boost cards...

what clock speed was it boosting to and how long did it maintain that clock???

[Nena Trinity]

Test it on Ashes of the Singularity!

[MatoBoost]

I just wonder why they didn't compare GTX 1070 to Titan X or at least 980 Ti. Tbh I don't care how it goes against GTX 970, because 970 can run pretty much everything on 1080p.

[Gerr]

I felt this review skirted around the main questions most people want answered...

1...how does the 1070 fair against a 980 TI at 1440p in AAA titles and is it worth the upgrade?

2...is the 1070 strong enough to push 1440p at or near the 144Hz refresh rate or do you really need a 1080 for that?
