NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070: specs and benchmarks

NVIDIA started GeForce GTX 1070 sales 10 June 2016 at a recommended price of $379. This is high-end Pascal architecture desktop card based on 16 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 8 GB/s are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 256 GB / s.

Compatibility-wise, this is 2-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 10.5" (26.7 cm). 8-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 150 Watt.

It provides good gaming and benchmark performance at 58.98 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 SLI Mobile.
