An issue here is that some of these games don’t feature in-game benchmarks and using FRAPS to manually capture frame rate data while gaming can cause inconsistent results due to the variance of player actions. Because all the cards tested here are high-end, to properly push each, their benchmarks are set to their respective max settings.Īlso, since my GTX 1080 review, a lot of readers asked me to add benchmarks for some newer titles, such as Overwatch, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Witcher 3, and more.
#Metro last light benchmark 1070 1080p Pc#
I’m using the same system to test all the graphics cards, which is a PC equipped with Intel’s six-core 5930K, coupled with 16GB of DDR4 RAM. And since Nvidia has made claims that the 1070 is as fast as the Titan X, I’ve tracked one down and added it as a focal point of comparison. To provide you with a wide breadth of comparative data, I’m using the same suite of benchmarks from my GTX 1080 review, which covers the gamut of real and synthetic tests across 1080p, 1440p, 4K, and VR using the GTX 1080, 980, and 980 SLI. This is very power-efficient when you compare it to the 250-watt Titan X, which it performs most similarly to. The GTX 1070 uses an eight-pin power connector like the GTX 1080, but it’s 30 watts less power-hungry with a 150-watt TDP. This makes it the fastest traditional GDDR5 video memory on the market. While the 1070 does use the more traditional GDDR5 VRAM, which has been in production since 2008, it carries a very speedy 8GHz frequency, which is 1GHz faster than the frame buffer of all of Nvidia’s 900-series cards. To assume that it’s getting the short end of the VRAM stick here wouldn’t entirely be fair, however. While it also features a healthy 8GB serving of video RAM, it does not use the faster 10GHz GDDR5X frame buffer. The 1070 features 640 fewer CUDA cores and 40 less texture units compared to the GTX 1080. With it costing $220 less, you should expect some concessions. This isn’t to say the 1070 is a carbon copy of the 1080, however. The GTX 1070 also features the same 256-bit memory bus width, 64 Render Output Units (ROPs), and 7.2 billion transistor count as the GTX 1080. For instance, the $1K Titan X carries a base clock of 1000Mhz (51 percent lower than the 1070) and a boost clock of 1075MHz (57 percent lower than the 1070). Both the 10 tower over the frequencies set by Nvidia’s existing Maxwell-based lineup. They’re not quite as high as the GTX 1080, but with a base core clock of 1506MHz and a boost clock of 1683MHz, it isn’t too far behind. The GTX 1070 is also built on TSMC’s new 16nm FinFET production process, which allows the card’s core and boost clocks to run really high. Both cards enjoy the same bandwidth reduction, preemption, and memory compression techniques that Pascal brings to the table, which makes it Nvidia’s most efficient architecture to date. Specsīased off of GP104, the GTX 1070 carries a lot of similarities to the GTX 1080. You can read more about these features in my GeForce GTX 1080 review. This includes graphical bells and whistles such as Ansel, VRWorks Audio, Simultaneous Multi-Projection, HDR, Fast Sync, and GPU Boost 3.0. Featuresīecause the GTX 1070 is based off of Nvidia’s Pascal micro-architecture, it supports the same GPU features that were introduced with the GTX 1080. Like the GTX 1080, the 1070 features three DisplayPort connectors, one HDMI port, and one dual-link DVI port. In terms of temperatures, the 1070 carries a 94 degree Celsius thermal threshold. It’s not a major issue, but I didn’t hear it with the GTX 1080. One small issue I noticed while testing my particular unit is that its fan produces a slight, almost rattle-like noise under load. This means you get the same angular die-cast aluminum enclosure, radial blower fan which exhausts heat outside chassis (which is good for compact Mini-ITX systems), three copper heatpipes for cooling, and a low-profile removable backplate. The GTX 1070 uses the same 4.3x10.5-inch chassis as its more expensive GTX 1080 brother. Rather, Nvidia says the price premium for the Founders Edition is merely for the high-quality materials and design craftsmanship. The added cost won’t get you a higher-quality binned GPU that will overclock better, which is what many were thinking. While you’ll see the GTX 1070 start out at $379, Nvidia once again sent me its more expensive Founders Edition version of the card, which costs $449.
