From my first tests with cuda 8 rc, sm61 doesnt improve anything... over 5.2, maybe this rc is not yet optimized for the GTX, but only for the Tesla 6.0
To resume, the 10xx are more like overclocked maxwells with a lower power usage :p Remains the 1080 special memory which seems a crap for now on mem algos
Yup, but seemingly NeoScrypt is performing like shit on the 1070, regardless of it having faster GDDR5 then the 9xx series. Ethminer wont even run on the 1070 in w8.1
Both the 970 and the 1070 have a 256bit bus.
neoscrypt is performing very well on a 1070, around 11150 on LINUX, with the correct oc, this is 70% more than a 970
1150 ? not more
my 970 gives 710kh/s peaked with Neoscrypt
you think a 70% increase is low? are you joking, also it appear that it can be overcloked even more, this was done with only +200 on the core(1750), these card can reach crazy value when overcloked, like 1800-1900
to me it's more than enough, in the end it's the 2x perf/watt that everyone was expecting since the beginning....
A lower price to performance ratio would also have been nice. The lower power usage is the only advantage over Maxwell ATM.
uh what? it's freacking 70% faster on both etheruem and neoscrypt, how this is only "power advantage"
