Nvidia has now officially released all the specifications of the Geforce GTX 1070 graphics card, confirming earlier rumors regarding number of CUDA cores as well as revealing detailed clocks of the reference Founders Edition version.

By launching the official Geforce GTX 1070 page, Nvidia has confirmed earlier rumors that the Geforce GTX 1070 packs 1920 CUDA cores as well as features 8GB of standard GDDR5 memory clocked at 2000MHz (8.0GHz effective) and paired up with the same 256-bit memory interface, adding up to a total memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s.

This means that the GTX 1070 has 15 out of 20 enabled SMs. Each SM has two blocks of 64 CUDA cores, adding up to that magical number of 1920 CUDA cores. According to earlier details, the GTX 1070 provides 6.5 TFLOPs of single-precision compute performance.

Nvidia also confirmed the precise clocks of the Founder Edition reference version which will work at 1506MHz GPU base and 1683 GPU Boost clocks. Nvidia compares the new GTX 1070 with GTX 970 and judging by these specifications, it will be a worthy successor and since it is significantly cheaper compared to the GTX 1080, it should hit the usual sweetspot on the market.

The Founders Edition version of the Geforce GTX 1070 will probably feature the same cooler as the Geforce GTX 1080 and will have the same DL-DVI, HDMI 1.4b and three DisplayPort 1.4 display output configuration. It will also support Nvidia's new SLI HB with 2-way SLI.

According to Nvidia, the Geforce GTX 1070 will be available on June 10th with a price set at US $449 for the Founders Edition and US $379 for the reference version made by Nvidia AIB partners.

Of course, we are yet to see some reviews but we suspect it should do well compared to the competition and successfully replace the GTX 970, which was one of the best selling Nvidia Maxwell cards, despite its earlier problems.
