I just received an MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X and have been comparing it to my EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrid. I have to say, nearly all of the reviews I have read for the 1070 are extremely exaggerating or just flat out lying. I've run many benchmarks.. Firestrike, Valley, GTAV, Tomb Raider, Shadow of Mordor and The Division. The 1070 @ 2100MHz is around 10-15FPS slower in all of these games. And Nvidia want to claim it's faster than a Titan X? C'moooooon.

I was pretty sure this would be the outcome. I'm just disappointed that Nvidia and a lot of major review sites lied or exaggerated.

I'll post up my results in the morning.

Lol... it is "faster" .
 
980TI speed: at boost clock 1076mhz
1070 speed: at boost clock 1683mhz
 

 
Sorry, couldn't resist.

 
^^^ It's a true statement... lol

I've seen review after review showing that the 980 Ti stock and 1070 stock are fairly evenly matched in every test.
 
Overclocked the 980 Ti wins out, yet no review site that I've seen yet shows a 980 Ti OC vs 1070 OC - just the 1070 OC vs stock 900 cards.
 
Here is a really good stock to OC comparison for the new cards to the old cards.

Never mind, just now saw Scarlett-tech. Guess I'm a newbie too.

You should really end sarcastic posts like that one with /sarcasm bud - you'll really confuse some people badly if you don't and yet sound all serious.

I really hope people understand, without the need of annotations, that the SLI bridge wouldn't be doing anything other than providing another led lit EVGA logo on a single card. *fingers crossed for humanity*

Here is the reviews with both card OC'ed and the 1070 IS actually faster:
 
1070 @ 2050
980 Ti @ 1455

The same here: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/GTX_980_Ti_XtremeGaming/26.html vs https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1070_Gaming_X/27.html : 1070 has 3.7 FPS more.

I believe you, I would never bought GTX1070 when GTX980Ti Classified is available for 550euro or similar price in dollars.
I doubt now that even GTX1080 is so much stronger than TITAN X as NVIDIA want to present. 
Maybe people who replace TITAN X with GTX1080 could give us better information, but I doubt they notice any difference.

Straight forward and credible review of the GTX 1070.
http://www.guru3d.com/art...e-gtx-1070-review.html

See, there are multiple reviews from credible sources claiming the 1070 to be "overall" faster, but this is not what I'm seeing. Once I get time tomorrow afternoon, I'll post up pics of all my benchmarks results.
 
For now, take a look at the GPU scores in Firestrike. This is with the exact same PC configuration.. same CPU speed, SSD, OS, etc. Both cards are OC'ed to their max.
 
1070
 
980 Ti
 
Direct Comparison: Nearly 2000 points difference GPU score
 

I scored 21591 on my gpu in firestrike on normal mode with a 980ti. What did you get ?

Any user who has the 980ti should not get the GTX 1070. It's a waste and you wouldnt really notice (until maybe dx12) youd wanna make leap to gtx1080

+1. An upgrade to a GTX 1080 is the proper upgrade from a GTX 980ti. A GTX 1070 would be a good upgrade for a GTX 980 or GTX 970.

This forum is full of posts of people saying there's no significant reason to upgrade a 980ti to either a 1070 or 1080 unless you just want to have the latest card available.

^It's no misinformation. Reference vs refere..Founders the TitanX is slower than a 1070 granded in the single digits % (Nvidia never said it will blow the doors of an Titanx). We're talking about stock clocks. You will never see Nvidia (or any other manufacturer for that matter) compare oced cards of the old gen to new cards, be it reference or AIB parters.
 
About people "upgrading" from a 980Ti to a 1070. Kudos to them, they have the money to learn valuable lessons the hard way.

Looks like the 1070 comes out ahead slightly at higher reaolutions where the extra RAM might be helping. The new cards seem to be much better on newer games on current Direct.
I picked up the 1080 FTW to replace my 970 SC. I always figured the 1070 should be a good upgrade for 700 series cards, I don't generally upgrade on a single generation. But that 1080 performance looked too good and too power efficient to pass up.

I compared many reviews of various models of 1070 and 980 Ti.

The reviews show very similar FPS but the 1070 is just slightly better and don't forgot that the card will became better drivers; the power consumption is also better. So I sold my classified for 530€ and I will buy a 1070 for 500€.
