Everyone has their tolerance level and how much they can "overclock" their wallets hehehehehe.

Some can only overclock level 1060 price only. some can "squeeze" extra "overclock" for GTX1070 like you suggested.

I think if it's faster than 980 then already good, now need to see what's the price. Last time X60 card float around 1K but now not sure.

But cheapest 1070 is how much, I think it's similar to 980ti or slightly better ?

Historically, IINM, newer generation GTX x60 cards could never beat a previous generation GTX x80 cards. If 1060 could consistently beat a 980 in most games, that would be a surprise.

IIRC, previous generations of x60 cards usually come with very little ram and 128bit memory interface. This time it's 192 and with a lot more rams so it probably is as they claimed.

Why so sad, I remembered last time our pricing was quite close to USD MRSP. Why now so much difference?

From the GTX1080 and GTX1070 reviews, it seems that Pascal with GPUBoost 3.0 will clocks higher than its rated boost clock, running at 1780 to 1800MHz most of the time.

GTX980 TFLops = 2048 x 1216 x 2 = 4.98 TFlops
GTX970 TFlops = 1664 x 1178 x 2 = 3.92 TFlops
GTX1060 TFlops = 1280 x 1800 x 2 = 4.6 TFlops (very similar to GTX980 perf)

Overclocked:-
GTX980 = 2048 x 1450 x 2 = 5.94 TFlops (close to GTX980Ti, stock)
GTX970 = 1664 x 1450 x 2 = 4.83 TFlops (close to GTX980, stock)
GTX1060 = 1280 x 2050 x 2 = 5.25 TFlops

Using the TFlops comparison, this is IMO quite accurate indicator on how GP104 and GP106 will perform based on Maxwell. It is after all very similar layout. GP100's layout is somewhat different from GP104.

GTX1070 = 1920 x 1800 x 2 = 6.92 TFlops
GTX 980Ti = 2816 x 1075 x 2 = 6.05 TFlops
GTX TitanX = 3072 x 1075 x 2 = 6.60 TFlops

Hence, GTX1070 is faster than TitanX. But what happens when overclocked?

GTX1070 = 1920 x 2050 x 2 = 7.87 TFlops (only 14% increase)
GTX980Ti = 2816 x 1450 x 2 = 8.17 TFlops (35% increase )

GTX980Ti once overclocked, will be faster, a bit

My biggest surprise on 1060 are RAM capacity

I think most predict the performance at the level of 970 OC'ed. Even at that level, it is still a damn good performance for a GTX x60 relative to previous gen x80.

Ayam sad, couldn't play on this weekend because supplier still holiday and I can only get my 1070 on Monday

Ref 980ti 1599 zotac clearance sale.. Rip 1060 at malaysia

It's a clearance sale. How many 980Ti you think they have until no more stock? It'll be RIP 980Ti once stock finish.

heyya guy..can msi gtx980 4g gaming beat 2k and 4k resolution?

Google la. SMH http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_g..._review,16.html

my bad..sorry just asking

double post. And already at right place. Confused, thought I was at the AMD section.

Yeah, 980Ti is still a great card especially now when the card is selling at a great discount. However, if I were to choose between 1070 and 980Ti, I'd probably go for 1070 due to lower wattage and more ram unless the price difference is great i.e. much cheaper 980Ti.

At reference 980Ti for RM1599, even the RX480 feels inadequate at RM1299. While stocks last though, which almost always means less than 10 units available.

2K can, 4K a bit tough. Have to dial down the settings

Because the discussion is almost same. I also get mixed up. There's another thread in Hardware section where we repeat the same arguments.
