“you can further increase the clock speeds to a blistering 1797MHz or even higher! That’s almost the same speed as their GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Extreme Edition! … potentially saving you over USD $400!”

Just… wow. Did you just state that there are no differences to the gtx1080 apart from the clock speed? How about the fact that the 1070 core is cut down by 25% and will thus offer exactly 25% less performace clock-to-clock.

Also, when you disect a card, why not study the vrm closer? It’s literally the only thing that tells this card apart from the others (more phases, less strain, less possibily for coil whine, better regulation, better over clock).

And while we’re at it, could you explain why 2*8pin power is absolutely necessary? The base card is rated at 150Watts and this card will never, ever need the 375W (2*150W+75W) that you are insist on. To be fair, 225W (1*8-pin/2*6pin) might not be enough with heavy overclocking, but 6+8 is plenty.

You know as well as I do … the GTX 1080 performance in REAL life gaming will only give you ~10% performance over a GTX 1070. So what we’re are saying is … why pay $400 more for ~10% performance increase? Not worth it. For most games at 1920×1080 with max settings .. .the GTX 1070 offers the BEST price/performance ratio. Period. If you run at 4K resolution than the GTX 1080 is the one to go for.
