Nvidia has launched the GeForce GTX 1070 in India from Rs 40,800 onwards.

The GTX 1070 is rated for 6.5 Teraflops and also has 8GB of VRAM, but of the ordinary GDDR5 variety versus the GTX 1080 which sports Micron's new, faster GDDR5X RAM running at 10Gbps for a total bandwidth of 320GBps.

Power requirement is pegged at 180W, and Nvidia lists a 500W power supply as adequate for a PC with a single one of these cards.

"Several thousand people have been working on this project now for more than two years. This is the largest GPU endeavor, the largest chip processor endeavor, in the history of humanity. The R&D budget was several billion dollars," CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said.
