Gigabyte GTX 1070 - G1 Gaming or Xtreme Gaming?

[vijay_001]

The boost clock is higher in Xtreme gaming.

Apart from that is Xtreme any better than G1 in terms of cooling?

All the 1070 cards non founders edition cam archive a overclock of 2000+MHz with the boost clock of each card is said to be that the g1 gaming has a little lower temps than the extreme edition . But in the same clock speed the extreme should be cooler.

save yourself a lot of money and get a card that feels more premium than any card I have ever had, a over the top and excellent cooling system and dead silent, a card that is just wow even before you realise it comes factory clocked with one of the highest clocks, its 1835 but mine and some others its like 1987 out of the box, 2164 with 56 % load fan but 2124 -2137 you cant even hear the card. I had a g1 gamer gigabyte but the zotac amp extreme feels a lot more premium and well wow

none of the cards are going to outperform any other crad. get the one that is priced right and looks the best to you. see here for specs, and reviews for all the cards where available http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902599

but in the end either card is perform the same and the g1 is a lot cheaper.

I looked for a 1070 from the day it come out, the g1 was 429 pounds, within a few days it went up to 450pounds. All this time, 4 weeks the zotac amp extreme could be found aat first Ebuyer.com for 409 but like the g1 going up so did it'd zotac amp extreme at 430 still cheaper than most sites that sold g1 1070. Amazon to this day still have a 409 pound zotac.
Having held a g1 I was disappointed that it lacked a good quality feel and led lighting instead of orage stops it went with. Also the factory overclock is alot less than zotac. Even if these cards where the same price, which they are not he'll even if I have to pay 10 pound more for zotac I would, because the cooling fans are huge and over kill and they feen premium unlike the windfotce cheaper plastic design. You also have 6 heatpipea 5 of which cross over the gpu where as the Giga is like 4, and you get lighting. Also overclock out of box is one of 2 cards that output at1835 but stick it in your machine and it's actually 1987.
I really wanted to stay with gigabyte cause the g1 970 was awesome but to me the zotac 1070 amp extreme is what the gigabyte g1 970 was to 970s.
Simply put zotac went over the top on cooling even when you play games the fan runs off because the ridicules among of coper and heatsinks disperse heat incredibly. I really can't find 1 genuine reason to but the g1 over zotac in the 1070 series.
I fully believe at the prices they are I'd have felt a little cheated with th 1070g1 but I don't with zotac cause the premium work they put I. Desks throughout this card. First zotac product I have bought and if they keep releasing products of this quality it won't be the last. Ps 2164 manual.overclock is very very nice.
