Nvidia has now officially launched its second GP104 Pascal-based graphics card, the Geforce GTX 1070. Although we already seen some reviews earlier, there are quite a few new reviews published today and it should also be available in retail/e-tail as of today.

Based on a version of Nvidia's 16nm GP104 GPU, the Geforce GTX 1070 comes with 1920 CUDA cores, 120 TMUs, 64 ROPs and 8GB of GDDR5 memory, paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU on the reference versions works at 1506MHz with GPU Boost clock of 1683MHz, while memory runs at 2000MHz (8.0GHz effective), for a total memory bandwidth of 256GB/s.

When it comes to looks, the GTX 1070 is the same as the GTX 1080, with the same blower style fan on the Founders Edition version as well as same three DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI 2.0b and one dual-link DVI-D output configuration.

The official MSRP of the Geforce GTX 1070 is set at US $449 for the Founders Edition, while reference versions from Nvidia AIB partners should sell at US $379.

Unfortunately, the cheapest Geforce GTX 1070 in Europe comes from Gainward, and this is a custom Phoenix card with dual-fan cooling solution which costs €479, and this one is not available. The cheapest available graphics card that you can now buy is ASUS GTX 1070 Founders Edition, selling for €499.

The situation is not better in the US either, as the cards have been listed for well over US $500. The demand for GTX 1070 is expect to be quite high so it will be hard to find it.
