After the official launch of the Geforce GTX 1080, all eyes are now focused on the lower priced Geforce GTX 1070 which should be available on June 10th.

Based on a different version of the 16nm GP104 GPU, the GP104-200, the Geforce GTX 1070 has only three Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs), each packing five Stream Multiprocessors. Each Stream Multiprocessor has two blocks of 64 CUDA cores which adds up to a total of 1920 CUDA cores, 120 TMUs and 64 ROPs.

According to details, the Geforce GTX 1070 will offer 6.75 TFLOPs of single-precision compute performance. Unlike the Geforce GTX 1080, which came with 8GB of new GDDR5X memory, the Geforce GTX 1070 will come with 8GB of standard GDDR5 memory, paired up with the same 256-bit memory interface.

There are still no precise details regarding the actual clocks, but the source suggest that it will have a maximum GPU Boost clock of 1600MHz. It also needs a single 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors, has a 150W TDP and comes with three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.0 display output. It has also been confirmed that the GTX 1070 also supports SLI HB with 2-way SLI.

The Nvidia GTX 1070 is significantly cheaper and while the GTX 1080 sells for US $699 for the Founders Edition and US $599 for the cheaper version, the Geforce GTX 1070 will be priced at US $449 for the Founders Edition and US $379 for the cheaper reference version.

As noted, Geforce GTX 1070 is expected to show up in retail/e-tail on June 10th.
