Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070
The GTX 1070 is an exceptional upper-tier offering that delivers previous-gen flagship performance at a serious discount. It's every bit as good as the 1080 - in fact, you could argue that the 1070 is a better product thanks to its superior cost per frame ratio. This is the perfect option for those gaming at 1440p. With Maxwell Titan X-like performance who can complain.
