Computing Editor Michael Passingham explains everything you need to know about the GTX 1080 specs, pricing and release date. There are also new details on the slightly cheaper GTX 1070.
Updated: Full specifications for the second-tier Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 have been revealed, hinting at the sort of performance you'll be able to get from Nvidia's second gamer-focused GPU, which will launch a couple of weeks after the headline-grabbing GTX 1080. We have the full specifications, along with all the details about the GTX 1080, below.
With all the hype surrounding its double-Titan X performance claims (which come with caveats), the huge interest in these new cards isn't surprising.
I'll focus here on the GTX 1080, since it's the flagship card and Nvidia has been hugely vocal about its capabilities and technology, but you'll find details on pricing and availability for both models further down this article.
To summarise what we know so far, the GTX 1080 is a huge leap forward in terms of its handling of both VR and non-VR tasks. Part of this is a result of the hardware, and part is down to software and technologies baked into the GPUs. Read on to get all the most important information.

PRICING AND RELEASE DATE
Previously known as the reference cards, the Nvidia-manufactured versions of the new GPUs will be known as Founders Edition. They’re really rather striking, with aggressive, angled designs and the now-iconic backlit green GeForce GTX logo.
The GTX 1080 will cost £619 in the UK, which is a little more than we were expecting, considering it costs $699 in the US. Founders Edition cards certainly look the part, with some fantastic design touches and a claimed 33dBa fan that will run quiet even when the GPU is under immense strain.
Nvidia says the Founders Edition price won't change throughout the life of the GTX 1080, which means that it could end up looking rather high compared to third-party cards when they come along – especially later on in the 1080's life cycle, when overclocked cards will be the norm.
Founders Edition cards will start shipping on 27 May.
The GTX 1070, meanwhile, will be priced at $449 (around £391 inc VAT; no official UK price has been confirmed, though) in Founders spec, while third parties are expected to start from $379 (around £314 inc VAT). Founder Edition cards will start shipping on 10 June.
