The 1080 does not yet have drivers for the Mac side. Once they hit, there will be lots of activity on this site for sure. Technically, the 1080 will display 1600x1200 via HDMI as-is, but it is not accelerated and not usable for the reasons that one buys a 1080. Many of us use the HD530 graphics via HDMI in the meantime as it is now usable once setup correctly.

Very true, we're all waiting for the release of those drivers.

Yes. Just make sure to set iGPU as primary and when you boot into Windows 10, switch your monitor to your nVidia card.

But in order to do this action I need to enter into the bios every time that I need to change os ?
What about if I use the 1070 without the accelleration ? I will be able to see a video on youtube for example ?
 
You can leave iGPU enabled in your firmware always. When you boot into Windows, changing your monitor input to whatever is connected to your 1070 will start working. I have had a couple setups working quite well with my 1070. The first was using iGPU on macOS and 1070 in windows, and now I have both my old gtx 660 for macOS and 1070 for Windows plugged in. I just need to remember to swap my monitor input to the right connection before trying to boot into macOS.

This implies your monitor has multiple inputs ofcourse.

But your GTX 1070 can run it without Nvidia drivers.

Disable CSM and Secure boot and re-install latest clover on USB for booting to UEFI mode only.

Can you give us some more detail? I'd not mind giving this a try.
