Actually, less watts than a 960...
Although i doubt the 960 uses more than 200 watts so maybe the graph is wrong?
It's for the whole system, so yes it uses even less power than a 960 which is mighty impressive.

Sticking with my 970 for now since I don't have a game that needs more horse power.
I sooooo can't wait to upgrade my Radeon HD6950. Damn. Do we have any price indicator yet for Europe? Hoping for ~400 max...
I'm in the same boat, but I think I might just do it so I can mess with overclocking a new card and play Doom at really nice settings at 120Hz. And as a treat.Sticking with my 970 for now since I don't have a game that needs more horse power.
I'm in once the founder's edition crap passes, as the 1080 is just too expensive in Canada (not that we know exactly what the 1070 costs yet, I guess).
Didn't realize its peak power consumption was so low either.
Should be a nice upgrade from my 7970, which has been great to me for a while.
I imagine it will be around £500 here.
For that price might as well wait for 1060 / Polaris 10 info.I still think that i will go with 970. I now have 760 and 1070 won't be below 450 euros here for a year after release at least. I will look to buy 970 for below 300 euros and i mostly play at 1080p so if i can i will push it at 1440p and downsample.

You can get a 1080 for £520. There is no way it will be £500.

I was thinking £379, right?

In these benchmarks, 1070 is only struggling in Division.

It'll be a lot less. Hell, you can buy 1080's at Overclockers starting at £525.
Might just get this, but I'm holding out to see AMD's offering.
I play Witcher with the Ultra preset but with Hairworks off and both Shadows and Foliage lowered to high at 30FPS on my HD7950 at 1080p.
This GTX 1070 should finally be the ticket for me to get 60+ fps with with a moderate downsample since I play on a 1080p HDTV.
I am not buying a new GPU for a resolution increase yet, but rather overall performance increase.
I have been very pleased with the results of my MSI Twin Frozr HD7950, so I hope there will also be a Twin Frozr variant of the GTX 1070.
Since I sold my Wii U and it's library recently and decided to focus on PC and PS4 instead, I think this new GPU will be the ticket I need to cover all of my bases for my multiplatform needs on PC.
I'm not planning to replace my Mobo or CPU yet. (I was originally considering to do a whole PC rebuild but I cannot afford it but can squeeze in the GPU purchase instead)
I'm currently on a i5 3570k and 8GB of 1866 DDR3 Ram, So If I simply upgrade my ram from 8 to 16GB and replace my HD7950 with the GTX 1070, I hopefully shouldn't run into any issues with bottlenecking...I hope?
I think this should be more sufficient downsampling 1440p to my 1080p display without any foreseeable issues. At least that IS the plan.
Timing sure is convenient, 1070 benchmarks popping up at the same time AMD is hosting a Polaris event?
Looks good though, especially if that $380 price point happens sooner rather than later.

I'm on a 970. I'm thinking about selling it for about 200 getting a 1070, which seems to be a solid upgrade for around another 200. But then again, the gap between the 1070 and the 1080 seems pretty substantial.
Should I get a 1070 or a 1080? Is the price difference justified? I'll be playing at 1920x1080, but I want to get as best performance as I can!

Jeez it is going to be so hard come upgrade time. Do I get the 1080 and not have to worry about upgrading for the next five years or do I get the 1070 and live comfortably at 1080p for the next three to five years. Either one is a gigantic upgrade from my 770 but boy is it hard.
