Which GTX 1070 is the best?

Which GTX 1070 is the best?
Overall when it comes to temperature, noise, price to performance?

Noise difference is more or less negligible across all manufacturers.

Typically for me it boils down between EVGA and ASUS.

EVGA has excellent customer service but below average build quality.
ASUS has excellent build quality but NIGHTMARISH customer service.

My process is to purchase an ASUS model with 3rd party insurance.

>nvidia

who are you quoting?

>recommending EVGA
Enjoy your house fire retard.

Yeah ASUS is one of the best apparently but I think the 1070 one is huge and doesn't fit in some people's cases, also has coil whine.

So many reports of coil whine in ASUS 1070s

Performance-wise I'm sure it's great tho

Gigabyte 1070 Windforce has been serving me pretty good. Pretty quiet and cool.

user, where did I recommend EVGA?
I'm not sure you read the last bit of my post, it's okay, I'm the same way.

>EVGA
>the company that literally forgot to cool the VRMs on almost all their GTX 10 series cards and has had gpu's literally cook themselves to death

How are the budget KFA models?

gigabyte windforce

The Windforce is cheaper than the other 1070s. What's the catch?

ASUS is good. MSI isn't too bad either.

I got the KFA2 EXOC.
It has good performance, but you need multiple strong fans or a watercooling system to use it.

There is no catch. You pay less money for the same card.

I can't tell if Sup Forums is being honest about ASUS and EVGA or it's just memeing

I have a Gigabyte 1070, very quiet and idles at 30C, never had it break 60C. No idea about other cards but I went from a R9 280 and I'm very happy with it.

There probably is no catch.

>EVGA
Enjoy your VRAM burning your PC to a crisp.

It's a bit bigger than the other cards, other than that there is no real catch.

HOL UP

So you're telling me, the Windforce just happens to be the quietest, coolest 1070 with the same performance? And somehow people just don't know this, and it remains an unpopular brand?

I mean, PC builders are smart, they should've known this by now

just google "evga vrm", its very real, they've acknowledged that they failed to cool VRM's properly and even have programs set up to fix it or send you a kit so you can do it yourself

>1070
>best

Pick one only

The Gigabyte G1 Gaming has been pretty nice to me. No coil whine or anything so far and great cooling.

I guess it's either ASUS or Windforce

If ASUS doesn't have significant performance over it, I'll just get the wind then

hows the KFA EX ?

got a 970 from gigabyte bro

goes to 62° witcher 3 on 2k resolution but other than that excellent

here

I got my Windforce for 389 a little while ago, but I'm looking at it for 379 on Newegg and Amazon. I'd say it's a very good deal, user.

It's not the quietest and not the coolest but it is the best allrounder for the best price.

The only catches
>Card is fuck huge, which likely shouldn't effect you if you have mid tower.
>Gigabytes customer service is subpar

I'm loving my MSI Quicksilver (recolored Gaming X), the ASUS Strix barely fits in my case but the MSI has like an inch and a half more clearance and runs much quieter while only hitting 2 or 3 more degrees higher than the ASUS. Max I've hit is 68 while OC'd.

Probably doesn't even matter

The asus one I have is really cool though, doom on maxed settings with fps locked to 60 and the fans don't even spin because it hovers at 50C

I've never personally had a problem with Gigabyte's customer service. Other than the interface they use, that is. The customer service reps were polite, quick and replaced a card for me even though I was about a month past my RMA date.

Which one is the quietest and coolest then?

I never see anyone discuss the actual 1070 cards from nvidia, its sold where I work. What the hell is the difference?

I've got the MSI armor oc. It's a fairly big card. I have a HAF X and I had to unscrew the fan duct that's on the inside because i literally couldn't close it with the card inside.

G1 Gaming.
It's only a little bit more than the Windforce.

They've got the worst cooling

Asus is fine performance and cooling wise but overpriced because LUL RGB LEDS

Where do you guys look to for credible benchmarks/temp,noise comparisons?

My reference 1070 runs at glacial temperatures. ~25c at rest, ~50c under maximum load

This is what it looks like when you have a well ventilated case with a logical airflow pattern.

I don't because I don't care

I use afterburner to monitor while in game

Even if i live in some no name country with high custom taxes, evga will have good customer support and fix/send another card for free if mine break?

Coolest is the Zotac AMP Extreme edition.

Quitest is the MSI Gaming X edition.

But the G1 Gaming edition comes close to both. It's the best allrounder.

take a pic of rivatuner graph while under load

Stock fan profile?

I got the KFA (Galax for amerifats) 1080 Hall of Fame and it overclocks like a beast and runs cool

it came with a 2050 clock speed from the factory which was actually more than advertised so im not sure if the 1070s have the same trickery

>EVGA

Um...

I'm really happy with the MSI gaming x one.

They're basically the "early access" cards. Raw graphics card with very little care put in to it.

>15C CPU


and no heating in your home

I go to Guru3D for the temps and noise tests. I like the fact that they use FLIR imaging to show the hot zones on the cards. Performance tests suck however because they only show average fps.

For performance tests I go to hardwareinfo.nl but that's a Dutch site.

This is wierd

I was expecting this to be a another barney fag post

Founders edition you retard

>Founders edition
>50 C under load
In other words it sounds like a jet engine under load.

His CPU is at 15C, his ambient is way below room temperature

>buying a fucked up 1080

This won't turn turn poorly for you

I have a 980, isnt that the same as a 1070?

Where do you get this info though?

Tbh I would also recommend the KFA Galax cards those guys know how to squeeze everything out of a card and keep it at good sound and heat levels, had their cards for years and desu never had an issue with any of them

Might just be me then.
Happened a while ago with an old motherboard from them.
Didn't stop me from getting other cards by them but I avoid Mobos.

Probably lives in syberia or something.

Just look up 1070GTX roundup test in Google, you will find tons of em.

There is literally no reason to pay for a 1080 if you aren't doing 4k gaming.

PC next to an open window with it sucking air from the outside or something retarded like that

there's a risk of condensation that way though

So G1 Gaming > Windforce?

Does running it blue, make it run cooler?

no

Yeah I'd to with the G1 Gaming user, the extra cooling over the Windforce is worth it.

You know it bitch

How much of a price drop will the 1070 get when the 1080ti is announced?

None at all

It will go up in price.

As long as I get "full tower" then that means every graphics card fits in there right?

144hz 2.5k

>2.5k
wat

Is a gpu cooler really required? because in logicalincrements only a cpu cooler is listed in the build.

so do I have to spend $60 on a cooler or are the fans that come with gpu

>have GTX 660
>see 1060s going for around 210$
holy shit

2017 gonna be great

As long as you don't buy a reference card the gpu cooler will more than likely be very good. In case you don't know what a reference card is, stay away from cards with just one small fan at the end of the card.

What about Inno3d

Zotac, PNY and ASUS are God-tier brands.

>ASUS

Um...
