1070 mh/s with ethereum ? , work on windows 10 x64 ? .
Read up - 27mhs at 100w
Win 10 will be available with July update or Insider preview build next week...

that hash is only where, on linux? what about win 7?
Linux and Win 10
Dont know about win 7 - maybe they release the driver for that..

Very good! only 100w!!! Thanks!

And Gtx 1080 ? .

The GTX 1080 is slower than the 1070 in mining the Ethereum. There is no point in getting that for mining.
You are confused. There is no way the 1080 can be slower than the 1070. It is impossible, 1080 has more cores, faster memory, and wider memory bus. Don't be an idiot. If someone tested a 1080 as slower than a 1070, then there are software issues.

Do you mine? Have you used 1080 or 1070 to mine? If you have mined with those cards, you would not say that.
I don't need to mine with them to say that. The 1070 is just a 1080 with some of the cores disabled and slower memory and memory bus. There is no freaking way  a 1070 mines faster than a 1080, period. Unless their is some massive overclock on the 1070 and the correct software/drivers and the 1080 has shit software and drivers. Wake up dude, just cuz someone posts something doesn't mean it is true. There are a lot of variables in every mining rig but the bottom line is if you put a 1080 in the same exact rig it is going to mine faster than a 1070.
That is a nice position - but youll have to wait 1 week tops when some else will post the 1070 results
The reason 1080 is slower in eth right now (it might change in future, hopefully) is the gddr5x memory config - its different to gddr5 and in this case its slower than 1070 its also slower in neoscrypt - all the other compute algos are faster of course
That's the first logical response I have seen. Now my guess is that like going from DDR3 to DDR4, the latency goes up, and if bandwidth can't overcome that, well that is why good DDR3 2133 is faster than normal DDR4 2133. So my guess is that gddr5x runs faster but has higher latency than gddr5, but then it wouldn't make sense for Nvidia to do that as latency is very important as well as bandwidth. My guess is that windows or drivers are crippling the 1080 right now, that should change.
