The GTX 1070 is Nvidia’s second graphics card (after the 1080) to feature the new 16 nm Pascal architecture. As a result of the die shrink from 28 to 16 nm, Pascal based cards are more energy efficient than their predecessors. The GTX 1070 is rated at just 150 Watts. In terms of performance the gap between the flagship 1080 and 1070 averages 25%. Both GPUs have 8GB of DDR5 and although they share the same processing core (GP104), the 1070 has 25% of its resources disabled. Comparing performance between the 1070 and legendary GTX 970 shows that the newer 1070 wins by a whopping 50%. The GTX 1070 has only just hit the market so, at least for the time being, prices are significantly over the Founders Edition MSRP of $450 but Nvidia have stated that they expect third party cards to sell from $379 at which time the 1070 will likely dominate as the value for money leader.

The 50th anniversary edition of the AMD's gaming flagship RX 5700 XT, features a golden finish that replaces silver finish on blower fan and text engraving. Comes with slight overclock from factory but you can get similar amount by just buying the original one and saving $50 in process. Might not worth buying as you could get high end AIB RX 5700 XT (ASUS ROG STRIX RX 5700 XT for example) at same price as this GPU and get better performance, better cooler and probably lower noises instead.
