And some of you thought that they wouldn't be faster than a 980Ti... Ha!

Those are some beasty cards, even more than I thought (35-40%).

*Edit*

Here's a quick comparison table:

I've left out the TFlops figure as they don't translate directly into gaming performane. Also, we still ignore a lot of things about the 1070.

Please excuse my bad English.

Might look into it next year, though there are new pieces to be released next year as well, my next spec if most likely going to be based around what happens next year at least with a 1440p monitor in mind. £600 is pretty steep though.

The GTX 1080 was always out of the question for me, as it was going to be too pricey for me, but the 1070 isn't too bad. Althought it's better to wait until we get some reviews to see their performance and tech analysis to make a decision.

And of course, it's always a good idea to see what the competition has in its hands as well.

@Basil: Your future looks quite expensive! . But building your PC next year will have its own advantages. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia does something similar to what they did with the first Kepler cards, the 680/670, and rebrand them early next year to the 1170/1160 when the big Pascal comes out, Of course, at a lower price.

I m still curious about dx12 performance though. Based on current gen benchmarks, AMD cards have been beating Nvidia cards in dx12 in several games and the entire press conf, there was virtually nothing about dx12 performance. I want to see the reviews soo badly urghhh
