It's still hard to say just what the 1070 might offer beyond the 950. We know that it will add a couple of extra processing modes (Pro Logic IIx in lieu of Pro Logic II, Dolby Headphone) and DVI switching, but nobody has heard the 1070 to know how it compares to the 950. The plus side to the 950/7100 combo (aside from immediate availability) could be the fact that you can keep the 7100 for a very long time and upgrade the 950 to something newer in a few years if necessary.
