I'm going to wait for the 1070 benchmarks as in other series the x70 models had a better price/performance ratio:
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html#value http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html#value
The 1080 is $599 while the 1070 will be $379 while the Titan X is ~$1000.
$1,500 for a 4x 1070 setup could be very attractive considering the performance should be on par with 4x Titan X (at $4k)
edit: forgot to mention power consumption as well, which should be a component of price/performance
- rplnt 10y agoEven lower models will still have better price/performance ratios. Top-ends are heavily overpriced, because they can be (for a while at least).

- Tinyyy 10y agoHow can your users trust that you do not keep a copy of the private key?
- benmanns 10y agoI think it's something like the user holds private key A, publicizes public key A, and requests private key B such that public key A+B has the desired characteristics and private key A+B is only known if you have private key A.
- stephengillie 10y agoWould a USB ASIC give better performance?
- therein 10y agoIf that ASIC is designed to solve that same hash function, yes.
- dogma1138 10y agoPCIE slots are limited so when you are talking about actual compute scale the 1070 can be more expensive considering you'll have to get another case, cpu, ram, and an PSU that can handle 4 cards at max load. And of course the more components you have in a given system the more likely is that one of the will fail, granted if you are designing a system to be resilient against attrition a system with more lower powered components can be more resilient than a system with fewer more powerful ones based on the performance difference between them and the MTBF for each component. But bang for buck charts don't mean much even for Gaming I never understood why people even use them, spend what you can and want to get the performance you want. Spending 50% more to get only 20% more performance is a valid option because those 20% can mean the difference between a playable game at high resolution and a laggy mess. Traditionally SLI setups for mid range cards could out-perform and be cheaper than high end cards but with a huge caveat - being dependant on the SLI profile for the game, if it come out to be shitty or non-existent you are just stuck with 2 cards that can't really run the game at the settings/resolution you want. Also unless you are building a small datacenter power consumption can be ignored, the 50-75W difference in total system draw between a mid range and a high end card when the rest of the hardware is the same isn't going to have any financial impact on anyone even if we take the most expensive power in Europe that's going to come out to about 30 cents per KWh.
- kuschku 10y agoEh, the most expensive power in Europe is more at 60ct per kWh. Average in northern Germany is already 38ct per kWh, although this is expected to change with the northern and southern German electricity market being split in the next weeks (Northern Germany has a huge surplus, Southern Germany not nearly enough).
- dogma1138 10y agoEven so we are usually talking about 50W max draw difference between the mid and high end cards is still 20 hours of gaming at max load before you have 60 cents difference between them :P
