NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Video Card Benchmarks Leaked

Benchmarks for the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 video card have made it online! VideoCardz has published what they claim are real 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark results and even put them in a nice chart for everyone to show the performance gains to be had from the card. The GeForce GTX 1070 video card scored 17,557 points in the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark and that gave the GTX 1070 a slight edge over the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and even the GeForce GTX Titan X! The performance gains over those cards is relatively small, 5% at most. The good news is that the the GeForce GTX 1070 will be be far less expensive with a $449 price tag for the Founders Edition and $379 MSRP for the add-in board partners cards when the GeForce GTX 1070 debuts on June 10th.

VideoCardz said the clock frequency ranges between 1860MHz to 1870MHz in 3DMark and overclocks nicely. They said the average overclocking frequency of the GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition is right around 2060MHz on the CUDA cores and the 8GB GDDR5 memory should be able to hit 9GHz effective (2250MHz). With the 9GHz effective clock speed on the GDDR5 memory you are looking at around 288GB/s of memory bandwidth versus the 320GB/s of the 8GB of GDDR5X memory on a stock GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition graphics card.

Many people were claiming that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 wouldn’t be able to beat a GeForce GTX 980 Ti, so if these numbers are true it looks like card will sell really well!
