Both cards are equally impressive in it's product positioning, though I do feel the 1070 will be the more attractive product due to it's price level, the 1080 cards really is what everybody want (but perhaps can't afford). Nvidia is the first to announce their new products based on a TSMC 16 nm process fab by introducing Pascal GPU architecture, named after the mathematician much like Kepler, Maxwell and Fermi. That stage has now passed, the GeForce GTX 10 have been announced with the 1080 slowly becoming available in stores as we speak, the 1070 cards you'll start to see selling by next week (June 10 th 2016). Intel has been using it for a while, and now both Nvidia and AMD are moving towards such nodes as well. The answer was to be found in the recent 14/15/16 nm fabrication processors and processes with the now all too familiar FinFET + VLSI technology (basically wings on a transistor).
Therefore the industry had to wait until an ever newer and smaller fabrication process was available in order to shrink the die which allows for less voltage usage in the chips, less transistor gate leakage and, obviously, more transistors in a GPU. Aside from some smaller ASICs the 20 nm node has been a fail. Last generation GPUs were based on a 28 nm fabrication, an intermediate move to 20 nm was supposed to be the answer for today’s GPUs, but it was a problematic technology. The 1070 has been a hit ever since the its release a while ago. Funky stuff, and that is testimony to the fact that you guys have been waiting very long on the new graphics cards from both AMD and Nvidia. It's for good reason, the graphics card industry, or the GPU industry has been on hold, waiting for a smaller GPU fabrication process to become viable. Now we all like the reference founders edition cards, but be honest with me, everybody really waiting to see the board partner cards, right ? Well, the model Z is the fastest most speedy 1070 SKU from MSI, comes with extra LED functionality and the very cool TwinFrozr revision VI cooler. We review the MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming Z armed with 8GB GDDR5 graphics memory.
