Kinda just had an impluse moment. Not sure how they're going to fit on an ITX board 
-edit- I know its not actually placed, but it is.
The power draw sold it for me. The radeon pro duo I had my eye on went up in price on me AGAIN and I've always wanted an SLI setup. If AMD release a game changer in the future I can shift these no sweat.

Great review Tom! Any news on 1070 sli performance? I bought a new system with a strix 1080 and was told today the card will not in Uk until end of June at the earliest :/ I game on a X34a monitor and would be keen to see a comparison between the 2 when you get chance to see if its worth swapping. Cheers.

Tom says in the video that he will be running the 1070 in SLI in a fortnights time, the 1080 SLI review is due Monday/Tuesday.
So far the aftermarket cards are unfortunately not really cheaper than the FE. FE goes for 500€, cheapest aftermarket card for 470€, i was hoping for something in the 425-450€ segment. I'll give it a few days, took like a week for the cheaper 1080s to pop up on mindfactory.
Performance is alright i guess, mingles with the 980ti and the Titan X as expected.

My guess would be right in between. Unless a <450€ 1070 pops up i might have a look at 480CF despite pretty much everything i know telling me that i shouldn't.

Admittedly it's a very confusing time for GPUs, we know very little of what AMD has in store for us apart from the RX480.. whispers and rumors and of cause AMD delays. All I know right now is that I want a 1070.
Unless it's a 1070 equivalent i'm not interested in anything between a 1070 and a 480 really. 1070 performance is a requirement for me, but two cards in the 300$ region are out of my budget. 2x 4GB 480s is an option, the 8GB probably not. But at 1080p 8GB is really wasted anyways.

I know why... ^_^ You should get an MSI 1080 GAMING X. Stock lands with etailers on Monday. Those other cards with higher clock speeds are suffering from poor yields so stock won't be massive and shortages.
The GAMING X isn't the highest clocked card but it means we can deliver volume on the GAMING X all day long. Plenty of stock inbound next week!
If you see TTL review of our card the other day, we pip the STRIX to the top in some cases despite the lower clocks. While we state max boost of 1847MHz - as TTL showed - our card was hitting a high of 1987MHz (average 1929MHz).
We have a dual fan option called the ARMOR that's cheaper than the FE cards. This actually uses the fans from the previous TFV so it's not all bad at all! It also has a custom PCB like the GAMING models. Last generation the ARMOR used ref PCB but now CUSTOM for better overclocking.
Costs the same as a FE card on mindfactory, it's not on caseking or alternate (yet?).

I just bought two MSI gaming x 1070 cards. I blame TTL.. (mentioning the two Msi gaming X cards in the founders review) I have blamed him for most my hardware upgrades to be fair

Thanks MSIRawZ. i went for the Strix not just because of the slightly higher clock but because its design compliments my new Asus Maximus 8 Formula motherboard and sitting in a P5 clear case, i'd prefer the aesthetics to all match.
Having been without a PC for the past 6 years i opted to go to a PC builder and chose Mesh. Their Elite Diablo was recently reviewed in PCG and had a glowing review and included parts which when broken down cost more than their total build. I swapped out a 980Ti for the strix and paid the difference. Just a shame its been put back a few weeks now. I did see the Gaming X review - impressive indeed, however this is not available through Mesh at the current time so i'll have to sit tight or see whatever else becomes an option.

I do worry that nVidia will continue to raise their prices each generation, but those performance numbers—especially at lower than 970 power consumption—are very good. Overclocking doesn't seem to yield results like Maxwell—you can't overclock a 1070 to 1080 levels like you could a 970 to 980 or a 290 to 290X—but SLI 1070 for over-the-top 144hz 1440p gaming is a tantalizing prospect.
