The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is a mid-range Pascal architecture consumer GPU, launched in June 2016. It delivered previous-generation flagship (GTX 980 Ti) performance at a mainstream price point, establishing exceptional value.
The GTX 1070 uses the GP104 die with 8GB of GDDR5 memory providing 256 GB/s bandwidth. It includes 1,920 CUDA cores across 15 streaming multiprocessors. TDP is 150W.
The GTX 1070 matched or exceeded the GTX 980 Ti at roughly half the price, democratizing high-end gaming capability. This value proposition made it one of the most popular GPUs of the Pascal generation.
The efficient 150W TDP enabled practical deployment in a wide range of systems. The GTX 1070 became the default recommendation for 1440p gaming during its generation and remained popular on the used market for years after newer launches.
