So nobody knew how well the GTX 1070 would perform when we reviewed the GTX 1080, which changes with our GeForce GTX 1070 review today. The GTX 1070 uses the same Pascal GP104 graphics processor as the GTX 1080, with just 1920 enabled shaders instead of 2560, which also affects the number of texture units that are down to 120 from 160. With 64, the number of ROPs is the same, and so is the memory capacity with 8 GB. However, today's review subject, the GTX 1070, uses GDDR5 memory, which is unlike the GTX 1080, that comes with GDDR5X. GDDR5X offers twice the bandwidth at the same operating frequency, so NVIDIA is running the GeForce GTX 1070's memory at a frequency of 2 GHz in order to make up for that. With the exception of the "GTX 1070" name on the card, the GTX 1070 is identical to the GTX 1080 visually. It's still a reasonably compact dual-slot design that comes with a backplate and NVIDIA's new thermal solution.
