How much would a non reference GTX 1070 cost?

vijay_001 · May 10, 2016

I see it is announced that it would cost around $379 which is founder's edition.

My question is how much a non reference model would cost with 2/3 fans from Asus/Gigabyte or MSI?

I was planning to buy a GTX 970 but seeing the low cost of the 1070, I am asking should I wait for a month or two?

(1080 is way out of my budget)

It should be anywhere from $380 to $480.

Yea, definitely wait. Basically, if you are about to buy a 970 for THAT price, then you are getting ripped off for a card that has been "outdated" twice by the 980 and 980ti. The newer card, the better performance (BF1

) so waiting a month or so might be a good idea if you plan to play current/next gen games with a decent framerate. Be positive before you buy however that it fits/no bottleneck with your current build. Card sizes vary, it might not fit in your case. CPU needs to be a high end i5 if you plan on not bottlenecking, most likely. Some bottleneck though aren't so bad, so it might just be a frame or two, which is minuscule in the scheme of things.

I have a i5 6500, DDR4 @ 2133 Mhz & a 650W PSU. Will that be Ok?

Its to early to be positive, but the CPU and RAM is cool. The PSU though.....not positive about power consumption of the new card, but that seems I little low. I sit comfortably between 700 and 800 watts for all my PSUs. But I really can't be sure, and I don't want you to go out and buy a new PSU if you don't need it. It just seems low to me.

Its plausible that it could work. If I were you, wait for it to release, go to PC Part Picker, enter your build, make sure there is no issues. It will tell you if there is going to be a bottleneck or simply won't work. Then check case measurements and buy the card.
