Depending on stock, you're probably looking at a 1070 SC ACX. This would be the closest equivalent.

Well i got an 1070 FTW back... sent in my 980ti Classified, feels kind of bad, since the 1070 isnt realy of same performance. Nvidia list´s it as better performing, but in most benchmarks it´s not better and specially in games its not perfomring better.
Im disappointed, when i see in forums and on Youtube that a lot of people got 1080´s and 1070ti´s. With a 1070 its very close, but if i would have got a 1060 i would be furios.
 
I contacted the support, asking if it maybe was a misstake, that some one packed an 1070 instat of an 1070ti, they said it already was the "good will" replacement. 
Sending me some link to an Nvidia perfomance chart, saying that the 1070 is performing better in anyway then the 980ti, not realising that you can see in the same chart that the 980ti got more avrage fps in crysis 3 in an even higher resolution (980ti 2560x1600 vs 1070 2560x1440) so higher resolution still higher avarage fps... what woud be the conclution? (picked crysis 3 because its the only game both cards were tested with)
They offered to check if a 980ti Classified is avaiable for replacement, still no awnser so far.
 

''they said it already was the "good will" replacement '' ..   so was your warrantee out or past time ?      that statement could be taken as ''worrisome ''  if that's the policy now .
 
not only like you say on the performance front    then look at the lack of support you now got with a 10 series  . if you run any older hardware like  crt monitors or any with a dvi-I  /analog .  or win xp  [ I savesd the xp drivvers before NVidia removed  but funny the 960 still has  xp-32 support  listed  [and its not due to memory issues ]    anyway here before long if its not win-10 its not going to be supported anyway  . that's the trend they want
 
but that ''good will''  deal .  with  that you should of got a too bad so sad note  and your 980ti back along with it  or  did not have a 1060 ref referb   ready ? 
 
it just goes to show there warrantee is only as good as ''THEY'' want it to be  [subject to change with out notice ] , cause once they get your card in there hands  its then  a take it or leave it  deal.   not a drop more .
 
guess now its hope you don't have to send it back 2 or 3 times to get a good card 
 
seems evga is more and more becoming run of the mill  from what they use to be about  and there reputation  ''was''  built on  .    in the end I guess something of anything may be better then nothing at all  [??? ]

I know I wouldnt mind a 1070TI for my cruddy Titan X, thats for sure.
As long as I got a working card I would be happy, with 8gb memory.
JUST today is the 1st time in about 5-6 gaming sessions where everything looked right. Otherwise I just get games that dont load correctly anymore. And, that doesnt hold the fps anymore, and has to have 100% fan speeds and has to have a gtx580 doing physx duty and has to have heatsinks and fans blowing across the back of the card. JUST to get somewhat playable games, some of the time.
So, be happy with what you have if it works.
You could have my cruddy titan x that they will never ever ever make right for me, ever.
 
So, yes, listen to Dr. Death. You are lucky to get a working card back and not a 'E U' (family friendly here, lol) from evga back.

whats funny to me is  a 980 ti clocked to say 1250   but the ''better'' 10 series is  1750 ,  but on par ?     if you could clock that 980 ti  to 1750/ 1800  or down clock that 1070 to match your 980ti stock clock then lets see what card is better .
 
if the 1070 was 1140 card and doing better or = to then you got something to say on that . thing is you would expect a card stock running up to 1800 MHz to flat run over a card that's 1250  by a heck of a lot  [opinion ]
 
har to find tested with same games   but try this

then the support you loose with a 10 series as well .   = to looks a reach  [a stretch Armstrong reach ] or in opinion /  as determined by Nvidia...lol....
 
hay, don't look a gift horse in the mouth and your at there full mercy when alls said and done .  the rma could of been rejected  just as easy  and today its not like your going to newegg and buying a new 980ti  anyway  , heck your not buying one here at the evga store . 
 
a little bit of something can be a lot better then a whole lot of nothing .

''so if they woud have rejected rma, i could have sued them''
 
better read there terms  .   all they go to do is use any end user abuse clause .     I guess lawyer fees and court costs  are cheap there  then what you invest 500 bucks over a 400buck card  [3 years ago ? ]
 
''  Product condition:''   all they have to do is claim one .

LOL...  at least cigarette smokers are not listed as reject reason it is in the USA .   thats how nit picky  it can be  / rejected .
 
I did like the   ACT OF GOD in yours /EU .    like they feel you were born stupid that falls under act of god ? ..lol...
 
I don't know its like I said to me  '' something is better then nothing ''  when it comes down to it in the end ,,   if its not all you expected then you will know better next time when you go to buy ...
 
 
 
 

Hey everyone. I got a 1080 back. Thank you all for the replies

I think you also have to take into account what the system is being played on:
1920x1080, almost anything newer is better.
2560x1440, everything gets a LOT closer in terms of fps which is better.
3840xxxx0? Things get even closer.
 
So, a 1070 may seem like a great card to someone who runs 1920x1080 @ 30hz, or 60hz.
But, when you take into consideration 2560 and higher, and 120+hz, it gets a little harder to judge.
I know I would not take a 1070 for my titan x.
I would take a 1070TI, or a 1080TI though.
Gaming at 2560x1440 144hz is just different than those that game at 30 or 60hz. Its not very comperable.
