Decent price for one of the fastest 1070's out there. Free shipping with Amazon. The only downside is 1-3 weeks shipping time, but you can cancel the order if you would find a better deal meantime.

Still a pathetic price. Is it going to drop anywhere near the ~£260 the GTX 970 was around launch any time soon, or is this the kind of gouging we're going to have to get used to?

That's a very good price. £439.99 at overclockers. Very tempted.

With the 480 out and not looking very good, 2x 480 in crossfire doesn't match the 1070. If you are considering 300-400 on a GFX card, pick up the 1070.
Here we go again. Crossfire doesn't scale 100% and doesn't provide consistent performance across all games. So even if a RX480 was as good as a GTX980, two of them wouldn't provide consistent performance in all games.

Nate, sure... but how many games will get CF support? I was thinking about SF480's, but multi GPU is not on the same level as a single card... :wink:
480 release with performance around GTX970 wont change a thing... :wink:

Is that because you couldn't quite work out yourself when games had no crossfire scaling obviously GTX 1070 was faster, infact when games do not support SLi and crossfire at all, multi GPU setups actually cause huge performance loss against identical single card GPU systems.
But if you look at relevant performance across game where crossfire gives an advantage is over 10% faster upwards of near 25% in some instances.
In all games where developers have added full multi gpu support into their games the RX 480 Crossfire is clear winner against GTX 1070 with a couple of trades against the GTX 1080.
My guessing as driver matures and fixes added for existing games this will only increase
1440p GTA V
RX 480 Crossfire 89.3FPS
GTX 1080 91.3FPS
Those are 2 reference RX 480s with limited OC headroom.
You cant fault 2 cards that at moment would costs £219.99 each, so £440 for crossfire against cheapest GTX 1080 at £580
Obviously you would be unwise to get 2 reference, better waiting to AIB come out for better cards, cooler and faster out of the box clocks

Nice one pal, cancelled my other 1070 from amazon and re-ordered this. Much better clock speeds!

On the water cooling side, it doesn't look like EK will be making water blocks for this card.

i'm pretty sure that's exactly what he's saying.....
And just to add to the comment above, from experience, crossfire is the biggest waste of time

If you get NUS discount this is just under £370, that's a very good price considering how quick this GPU is, especially this specific model.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Zotac cards come with a 5 year warranty, too.

Yup, ordered this first thing this morning when I saw it. Cheaper than the standard AMP and founders on Amazon. probably a mistake and they have the amp and amp extreme models the wrong way around. The code and picture for this is definitely for the AMP Extreme though.

With DX12 it won't need crossfire support. DX12 you can mix and match different graphics cards automatically
