GeForce GTX 1070 Video Card Review

Conclusions

The GeForce GTX 1070 benchmarks bring no surprise: it performed between the GeForce GTX 1060 and the GeForce GTX 1080, as well as substantially better than its predecessor, the GeForce GTX 970.
The GeForce GTX 1070 was, on average, 64% faster than its predecessor GTX 970, which is an impressive gain from one generation to the next one. NVIDIA deserves congratulations.
But the main question on the analisys of this video card is to check if is it a better deal than its sisters form the same family. Compared to the GeForce GTX 1080, the GTX 1070 was, on average, 17% slower in games. Considering the GTX 1070 costs about 33% less than the GTX 1080, we may say it has a better cost/benefit ratio than the high-end model.
When compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, we saw that the GTX 1070 was, on average, 42% faster on games. Considering the GTX 1070 is about 50% more expensive than the GTX 1060 6GB, we concluded both video cards present a similar (and great) cost/benefit ratio.
This means the decision must be taken based on your pocket: if the GeForce GTX 1070 fits your budget, it is a great choice for high performance gaming, allowing you to play at Full HD with maximum graphics quality with high framerates, or even at 4K resolution, if you don’t mind to reduce the quality settings a little on some “heavy” games.
