Launch price in today's dollars

The GeForce GTX 1070 launched at $379 in 2016. Adjusted with the U.S. Consumer Price Index, that is about $523 in 2026 dollars (7-month average), a 38% rise over 10 years. At its launch price that is 140 Blender points per $100.

Method: launch price × (CPI 2026 average ÷ CPI 2016 average), calendar-year averages of BLS series CPIAUCSL. 2026 covers 7 months so far.

Blender rendering score

Median score 532 (middle half of runs 513–545) across 489 community runs on Blender 4.x with the OPTIX backend. That is #77 of 103 graphics cards in our dataset with a score, and #6 of 11 in the GeForce 10 series.

This is a rendering benchmark (samples per minute over the monster, junkshop and classroom scenes), not a gaming benchmark. It says how fast the part renders in Blender's Cycles engine and nothing about frame rates. Source: Blender Open Data, CC0, snapshot 2026-09-06.
